Polish manufacturer Looptrotter has brought a significant update to its Satur-8 summing mixer and distortion box, with the release of Satur-8/24.
As the name suggests, the Satur-8/24 is a 24-channel summing mixer with Channels 1-8 routed through saturation blocks to add harmonic enhancements such as vintage tube consoles or tape-like distortion. Each of the channel features an LCR toggle switch to pan the signal in the stereo field. The remaining 16 channels are directly summed to the stereo output without going through the distortion blocks.
A stereo output level control is included on the master section and stereo insert points let you connect additional processors such as stereo compressors or EQ. A cryptic but powerful Magic button adds depth and focus to the sound as well as increasing the stereo field for a larger than life summed signal. Master and monitor outputs are included to ‘print to tape’ and monitor the result accurately.
Satur-8/24 can also be used for tracking and mixing. Channels 1-8 include direct out via D-Sub allowing the Satur-8/24 to be used as a colour box to add harmonic content or fatten up the incoming signal.
An expansion slot accommodates further saturation blocks, allowing support for 16 channls.
Key features:
The Looptrotter Satur-8/24 will be available from Q2 2015 exclusively from KMR Audio and KMR Audio Germany, and will retail at £1,750 ex VAT (£2,100 inc VAT)
