Many grieve the sound of analog mixing consoles but don’t want to waive the conveniences that modern consoles provide. The Tegeler Audio Tube Summing Mixer gives you the opportunity to bring the sound of analog mixing with the benefits of a digital workflow to the comfort of your own studio.

The analog signal path, tubes, and matching transformers are responsible for processing the signals. The result is a typical analog sound: open & defined, yet warm. The mix is not trapped in the box but opens up the whole room.

With 2 × 20 channels, there are enough inputs available to glue together the most demanding mixes. If 40 inputs aren’t enough for you, several Tube Summing Mixers can be cascaded to increase the input count. As you can use more than one Tube Summing Mixer together, nothing stands in the way of your surround mixes.

To ensure the exact reproducibility of a mix, the Tube Summing Mixer is equipped with a stepped output switch instead of a potentiometer. This allows a practical reduction at -3 dB increments.

If you wish to insert mono signals into the mix, just insert the signal into the lower TRS jack. The mono signal is then automatically distributed to both channels simultaneously making it appear in the phantom center of the mix.

FAQs

What makes the Tegeler Audio Manufaktur TSM unique compared to other summing mixers?

The Tegeler TSM is distinguished by its 32-channel tube summing capabilities, providing a warm, analog sound that enhances mixes. Its 19-inch rackmount format and all-analog electronics make it a favorite for those seeking classic tube warmth in their studio setups.

Can the Tegeler TSM be used with digital audio workstations (DAWs)?

Yes, the Tegeler TSM can be integrated with DAWs by routing your DAW's outputs into the mixer's 32 analog inputs, allowing you to sum tracks externally for a richer, analog sound before returning the stereo mix to your DAW.

How does the tube circuitry in the Tegeler TSM affect the sound?

The tube circuitry in the Tegeler TSM adds warmth and harmonic richness to your mixes, often described as providing a more cohesive and musical sound compared to digital summing.

Is the Tegeler TSM suitable for large-scale studio environments?

Yes, with its 32 channels and high-quality tube summing, the Tegeler TSM is well-suited for large-scale studio environments where high-fidelity analog processing is desired.

Does the Tegeler TSM require any special maintenance due to its tube components?

Like all tube-based equipment, the Tegeler TSM may require periodic tube replacement and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity, typical of high-end analog gear.
