Master ACTIVE/PASSIVE option by switch (like you have 2 units in one box)
Active: Power on – AP switchhes up – Gain make up by Neumann follower Filtek Haufe transformer based summing amp
Passive: Power off – AP switches down – Gain make up by your mic pre or DAW mic/instrument input*Benefits: different amp = different sound character
Master MULTI SEND/RETURN by TRS balanced AUTO Switch (see diagram)
Please note! the mixer have 4 x Stereo master insert send returns chain, the diagram shows only 3 sets

Stereo to mono option: – the mono is true analog mono!
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK9YBU7J7Gg&feature=youtu.be
However, for mono signals (such as kick, snares, lead vocals or bass that should appear centered in the middle of a mix), it would be a waste to use (Stereo L/R panned channels) what would amount to two required converters for a mono result. In such cases, channel pairs 1 & 2, 3 & 4 etc may be switched to mono mode (CH1 to 1-2), so that, for example, there might be a (mono) kick on channel 1, snare on channel 2 and bass on channel 3, etc.Stereo to Mono switch mono mode (ON): allow to place inputs 1/2 and 3/4 in mono (center) and send/route mono tracks from your DAW, using the Stereo/Mono option for mono instruments like bass, sub bass, kick, snare etc.Stereo to Mono switch mono mode (OFF): normal stereo signal input L/R (pan from DAW) VintageMaker Passive Summing is therefore able to assume a wide variety of tonal character dependent on your choice of amplifier (mic pre)!
How to mix in analog OTB [OUT-The-Box]
Customer question: I’d like to know if there is a way to drive the amplifier prior to get on the master out or should I achieve this by entering the summing unit with hotter levels?
A. Mix in analog is different than DAW bounce, so Let’s separate the mixing process to 2 parts:
1. First part: Passive network.You right: “should I achieve this by entering the summing unit with hotter levels”You need to find for all your instruments/tracks individually the “gentle distortion” point, where the subtle distortion starts gently and it’s about right. It basically impossible to do that ITB [In-The-Box] because if u hit over 0dB, starts to distort during gain staging, simply the digital bounce not allow to send hot (high gain) PanoramaFirstly need to find for all your instruments the right places in to the stereo field (separation), the right locations where they sit better in to the whole mix. Don’t forget – your instruments are mixed in the analog domain: as sinusoidal voltages!
Gain stagingGain staging is like pulling the focus of a camera lens, so the cardinal point is the individual gain sent from DAW interface outputs to summing network.(they will be mixed as sinusoidal voltage) so strictly need to find for all your instruments/tracks individually the “gentle distortion” point, where the subtle distortion starts gently and it’s about right
2. Second part: Drive the amp – makeup gainMake up gain “crank it up” – make up gain by your MicPre/DAW Instrument amp or internal famous Neumann summing amp, and hit the sweet spot of master mix, then print/record. It’s important to find the sweet-spot when the level and subtle distortion is just about right, depending on the song and production. ITB has no sweet-spot and there’s really no reward running the levels a bit too hot, on the contrary is even makes the mix sound worse.
