[Musikmesse] Sonic Summarizer

The company now offers two summing amps fitted with the original analog vintage broadcast technique that was used in the large-format consoles of the 70´s and 80´s, according to Sonic Summarizer.

The “Sonic Summarizer (Pro)” contains original Neumann / Lawo summing & levelling amps. Transformer-balanced in- & outputs (Haufe & Pikatron) and a conventional VT2448 power supply are the main features of the “Sonic Summarizer” and the “Sonic Summarizer Pro”.

Vintage had this to say: “Summing up the individual tracks of your production in the analog domain offers a number of great advantages compared to the simple ”bounce-function" within your DAW. While a digital system rounds off all values for level, pan, eq-ing and compression, analog technique operates with an infinitely high resolution, causing no rounding errors or digital distortions."

The most important aural advantages of analog summing are said to be:

• More transparency
  
• More spatial depth
  
• Improved detection of the individual acoustic sources

Prices for the Sonic Summarizer and the Sonic Summarizer Pro:

• Sonic Summarizer: €1,176.00 €
  
• Sonic Summarizer Pro: €1,596.00
