Mixers

This new version of Dangerous Music’s popular summing amp incorporates both technical and practical improvements.

Venerable British company Soundcraft have delved into their past to create this analogue mixer with a USB–flavoured twist...

This new mixer caters for those who found TL Audio's M3 too small, and the flagship VTC too big. But is the M4 just right?

Clever lightweight amplifier technology and exceptional effects, plus several other useful features, distinguish this practical and powerful live mixer.

Straightforward facilities, built-in effects processing, and an affordable price make this analogue mixer a good choice for entry-level studio and live setups.

I recently started teaching music technology in a college and was asked to rebuild one of the studios. It uses a 32-channel...

Does this modern take on a celebrated console stay true to the original’s heritage?

Bus-powered audio interfaces with some additional mixing and monitoring capabilities.

If anyone knows about digital consoles, it’s Yamaha — and their latest range of mixers doesn’t disappoint.

The best engineers thrive on pressure. Which is handy when they’re recording the farewell tour of one of the world’s biggest rock bands, and timecode trouble is brewing...

I’m using a Yamaha EMX 5000-20 for live sound and I seem to be unable to get the foldback working for some sources, even though it works for others. Am I missing something obvious? 

I’ve read that pro gear should use balanced connections, but I’ve been looking for a mixer recently and find that most have unbalanced insert points. My interface uses balanced I/O, as does most of my outboard gear. What gives?

We talk guitar recording and more with Grammy-nominated engineer Michael Ilbert, based in Berlin's legendary Hansa Studios.
