Unit Audio has announced its new Milli-Unit and Micro-Unit 8 x 2 passive summing mixers. They tell us that these models both share cast aluminum cases and are completely hand wired in Nashville, TN using only the highest quality components. Unit Audio says that the PSMs add back the sparkle and punch of analog recording that is so often missing in a purely "in the box" mix, making these mixers the perfect companion to a Digital Audio Workstation. With prices starting at $149.00 plus shipping, Unit Audio believes that their PSMs put passive summing technology within the reach of average home or project studio owners.
Unit Audio's Design Engineer Terry, told us, "Is analog summing going to make your recordings sound like a Nashville studio with a billion dollars worth of equipment? Probably not, but you will notice a difference in your mixes using a Unit Audio summing mixer. Loosely quoting Shakespeare one might say 'To analog sum or not to analog sum?' This has been a point of controversy with digital recording for quite some time. With modern DAW software, mixing within the computer has resulted in some great sounding recordings, but I have long been intrigued by the concept of analog summing. I was not prepared to pay $800.00 or more to test that theory, so I engineered and built my own. Then to test the theory, I set out to see if there was any difference in the mixed sound. Much to my amazement and pleasure, I did notice a subtle but very pleasing difference in the stereo separation and placement of the instruments compared to my In the Box mixes."
