The Chandler Limited Mini Rack Mixer is a 16x2 transformer balanced mixer with all the warmth you need for your digital recordings. Sweeten the sterility of digital into something listenable and even rewarding.
The Chandler Limited Mini Rack Mixer is the result of the team at Chandler Limited working with several vintage discrete circuits. The Mini Rack Mixer can trace it's lineage back to several types of these amplifiers developed in the 60s and 70s that have been improved and tweezed ("Chandlerized", perhaps?) by the fine folks at Chandler for the noble task of sweetening the sterility of digital into something listenable and even (gasp!) rewarding.
Transformers? The Mini Rack Mixer has them in spades! Each Channel of the 16x2 Mixer is transformer balanced and driven by the New Chandler Line Amp, which is taken from Chandler's other products but whose design has been massaged for use in this mixer. The Mini Mixer is jam-packed with discrete amps and classic sound, 20 discrete amplifiers and 22 custom wound transformers in the unit, and delivering all the punch and tone you need for today's digital environment.
In addition to the mixer section, the unit has a full featured Control Room section including Talkback, Speaker switching, Mute, Mono, Dim, External input (also used as an insert point), and separate Control Room and Stereo Buss outs. The Chandler Limited Mini Rack Mixer is easily expandable to 32 channels or even more. Add a Chandler Limited Mini Rack Mixer 16-Channel Expander (same mixer minus the Control Room Section) for an instant 32 Channel Mixer. Great for use when needing to monitor your 2-Inch Machines before transferring into the DAW.
Chandler Limited Mini Rack Mixer Features
- Channel Volume: Each control is push/pull to mute the channel.
- Channel Pan: Toggle switch disconnects pan pot to allow for true centering, like on a vintage API or Neve.
- Talkback Module: Volume control and momentary push button to engage.
- Control Room: Mute, Mono, Dim
- Switching: Speaker 1/2 & External Input Switching.
- Stereo Output: Volume for two sets of stereo outputs.
- Control Room: Volume for speaker selection 1 and 2
- External Input: Pressing this button disconnects the mix section and control room allowing for some interesting combinations. The most obvious is to listen to other sources, like 2 track machines or CD player, but was designed with other important options in mind.
- Stereo Insert: By pressing the External you can create a stereo insert point between the Stereo Outputs and Control Room sections of the mixer. Hit External, patch from the Stereo Output tothe External In, and the Control Room then becomes your Stereo Out with an insert point.
- Summing: To sum through the Stereo Out press External. Feed a stereo mix from your DAWto the External In and listen from the Control Room out. The mixer is then completely independentfrom the Control Room and Stereo Buss. Allows use for dual mono or stereo summing.
- Expandable: Together with the Chandler Limited Mini Rack Mixer 16-Channel Expander, you suddenly have a 32-Channel Chandler Limited TG series mixer!
