Most mixers are built around mic and line inputs with generic front ends that do decent at best with electronic instruments and frankly unacceptable with organic sources. The result is always the same: DI boxes, workarounds and tone you never quite get back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMIX BUDDY\u003c\/strong\u003e comes to solve all these problems while adding an additional set of features that turn this little box into a monster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith no-compromise tone as the main design rule, the MIX BUDDY has a staggering arsenal of no less than 19 inputs, which are themselves a masterclass of extremely low noise, high class audiophile grade JFET technology. Heavily based on the highly acclaimed Toshiba 2SK JFET series, Mix Buddy marks a new milestone in instrument amplification technology. Every single input was designed around one rule: the tone comes first. The MIX BUDDY doesn’t raise the bar in instrument amplification technology. It redraws it entirely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeritage Audio Mix Buddy Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA whopping 19 input x 8 output instrument-centric desktop mixer with a never-before-heard clarity for instrument level sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 stereo (or 4 mono + THRU) HI GAIN channels powered by Toshiba 2SK JFET 12dB gain buffers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 stereo (or 3 mono + THRU) UNITY channels powered by Toshiba 2SK JFET unity gain buffers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume control, stereo \/ mono + THRU switch and mute per channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated microphone preamp with JFET input stage, up to 70dB of gain, dedicated gain and level controls and phantom power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional stereo balanced line level input stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 independent balanced master outputs with dedicated ground lift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster Main Out goes through the built-in Heritage Audio 73 DI 2 active DI, and it is switchable between line level and mic level output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Out 2 is a clean transformerless output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo or mono AUX effects loop for hardware effects integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful independent headphone amp with volume control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUX send knob per channel with pre\/post fader switching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal FX on\/off switch for instant wet\/dry comparison.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMic preamp input compatible with guitar pedal effects chains via AUX loop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElegant desktop design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt like a tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58399270076790,"sku":"SHERMIXBUDDY","price":457.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/2988\/4462\/files\/MixBuddyangle.jpg?v=1785936871","url":"https:\/\/studiocare.com\/products\/heritage-audio-mix-buddy-instrument-mixer-with-mic-preamp","provider":"Studiocare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
