DAW users can now “switch to analog” with this entirely class A mixing and mastering device. Being able to subgroup our computers digital outputs and converting them to an analogue signal to be processed as a real voltage and not as a number is becoming increasingly important, moreover, using a single system from monitoring to mastering minimizes multi-device use lowering the interconnection time and costs.
Monster Master MS-166/8 is the answer to all stream mixing and mastering needs. Its features set it apart from other similar products on the market: each of the 8 mixing channels has an 11-step rotary switch for pannning, a 12-step rotary switch for level (going from +3dB to -2.5dB in 0.5dB increments), an input attenuation selection button (0dB, -6dB or -12dB) and mute and solo buttons.
The solo function is particularly useful as it works even if the channel is muted: signal is fed to the bus after the pan rotary switch to allow a correct and precise stereo positioning of each signal for each channel. The master section has two master level rotary switches that allow a 3dB-increase or decrease of the output level in steps of 0.5dBs. The internal summing summing section is totally symmetric (balanced) and built with highest quality components to guarantee maximum signal transparency and quality. The resulting noise is 10 to 12dB lower than other summing mixers.
A specific additional feature of the Monster Master is the “Summing Bypass” function, which is extremely useful for mastering an already mixed stereo track. This option allows selective feeding of channels 1 and 2 or 5 and 6 and not the entire summing output to the mastering section. This further reduces noise coming from unused tracks. When channels 1 and 2 or 5 and 6 are directly fed to the mastering section, the level and pan controls for these channels are bypassed and a unitary gain is used. Changing the internal jumper setup can easily restore the effect of the level control rotary switch.
The Monster Master is the “All-in-one” solution for the mixing and mastering engineer who do not accept compromises in sound quality and that want maximum flexibility and reliability. An exceptionally robust frame houses only the best available non-custom and non-SMD components.
