Bring Analog Warmth To Your Tracks

Radial Engineering's Space Heater 8-Channel Tube Drive Summing Mixer is a 1U rack-mountable mixer designed to warm up tracks in digital recording applications and add analog sound character, headroom, and quality to digital mixing. Summing mixer. This unit features four of her 12AX7 dual cathode tubes wired in stereo pairs to drive eight channels. Each channel has its own heat switch that allows you to adjust the B tube voltage from 37, 75 and 150 volts to produce the desired harmonic content and distortion. Setting the space heater to the highest voltage optimizes tube performance for the tube's natural heat. Lowering the voltage gives you a creamy, smooth distortion.

Each of the 8 channels is transformer-coupled for added character, providing excellent immunity to hum and hum caused by ground loops. For recordings that prefer a classic, resistant summer sound, the tube drivers can be bypassed on each channel. Master left and right busses allow all 8 channels to be mixed to stereo and monitored via the built-in headphone amplifier. Eight balanced 1/4" TRS inputs with individual sends and returns are routed to two 25-pin D-Sub connectors for ample connectivity. And with stereo LINK, you can easily expand to 16, 24 or even 32 channels.

Space Heater is great for warming up vocals, adding bite to bass, or creating crashing drum tracks. When used live, in-ear monitors provide a more natural sound without resorting to dull compression.
