Complements your DAW-based workflow
The SPL MixDream XP Mk2 summing mixer seamlessly integrates into modern studio setups, leveraging the advantages of hybrid digital/analog workflows. While the efficacy of DAW-based production has established it as the industry standard, the sound of entirely in-the-box productions strikes many audiophiles as being somewhat cold. That’s the reason analog summing is used in world-class pro studios and on virtually all major-artist projects: summing your stems through high-quality analog gear simply sounds amazing. With its outstanding dynamic range and vanishingly low noise floor, the SPL MixDream XP Mk2 perfectly complements your DAW-based workflow. Furthermore, high-quality analog summing without faders and pan pots makes the MixDream XP Mk2 100% compliant with your DAW automation, and therefore requires no changes to your current workflow.
Large-format analog console sound
If you’ve been mixing and mastering completely in the box, you’ll marvel at the dramatically improved sonic quality you’ll hear the first time route your DAW stems through a D/A converter and sum them in the MixDream XP Mk2. Thanks to its discrete Class A circuit topology and +/-30V internal operating voltage, the MixDream XP Mk2 delivers the exceptional audio quality of a high-end analog mixing console, but in a convenient rackmount form factor. Need more than 16 channels of analog summing? It’s easy to expand your summing capabilities via the expansion inputs to daisy-chain multiple MixDream units. So get the best of both worlds: the convenience and efficiency of your DAW, plus the unbeatable sound of analog summing with the SPL MixDream XP Mk2.
