Why are the Vintage Maker summing mixers so much cheaper than all the other brands?
VintageMaker is a small manufacture who deals directly with You without markups from distribution and retail channels.
VintageMaker use the same high grade components used by all the other manufacturers. There is no compromise there!
High quality components result the correct and low noise operation of the popular summing network designed / developed by Vintage Maker, therefore is the most liked passive solution since 2010!

- Use your Mic PRE or Line amplifier, to get a wide tonal character by allowing you to choose your flavor of make-up gain.
- The simplicity of the fully balanced, symmetrical signal path allows the use of no-compromise passive components for an absolutely transparent signal path!
- Plug into your mic preamp, or old Telefunken or RCA tube preamps to work when you want super thick warmth!
- Fully balanced analog line mixer, can be used for external DAW summing or as a line summing mixer for effects external pres, instruments, synths, drum machines or any (balanced/unbalanced) line signal!
- Chances are your mic preamps or line amps, just sit there unused at mixdown time anyway, so put them to work!
Let me know about TYPE/BRAND of Your Mic pre or interface Mic pre / Instrument, to hit the best impedances of your passive summing.
- different resistance level need for Neve1073, Avalon etc (+40dB - 65dB make up gain)
- different resistance need for DAW interface like Focusrite, Motu etc. (+10dB - 35dB make up gain)
- Passive analog line mixer, can be used for external DAW summing or as a line summing mixer for effects external pres, instruments, synths, drum machines or any (balanced/unbalanced) line signal!
- The Passive Discrete Summing is therefore able to assume a wide variety of tonal character dependent on your choice of amplifier (mic pre)!
- This signal is ideally suited for feeding into an outboard microphone preamplifier of your choosing.
- The Passive Discrete Summing has an extremely simple, Discrete, pure, and transparent signal path. No faders, EQ, aux sends, pan knobs, or any other superfluous features allows for an entirely passive circuit. There are no amplifiers, ICs, transistors, capacitors, or transformers in the signal path!
- SUMMING: Discrete Stereo Solid State Summing network
- Selected Vishay Dale metal-film resistors

"I was considering the Rolls 16 ch passive summing mixer but on Ebay, I discovered Paul Taylor's Vintagemaker products. I emailed him to ask some questions and found his response to be positive and quick. I asked him to build me a 24 ch passive summing mixer with the insert feature and 8 chs of mono/stereo (switchable). He made and delivered the unit within 2 weeks (most of that shipping time was in customs in NY. He sent pics via email and regular updates as the unit was made.
I plugged it into my studio, 1-24 Pro tools (Outs) and found the Neve 1272s to be the best sounding pre amps for the 2 buss on the mixes I was working on. the TubeTech MP1A also sounded great, the Focusrite was nice and the APIs were ok, too. My REVIEW: Clarity and Glue. It clearly sounds better than in the box summing, but you all knew that would be the case. It also sounds better than the AMEK console that I had been using for summing mixes. I had sold the console and this was one of the replacement parts. I am Very Happy. I would highly recommend Paul Taylor's custom built products. he was easy to deal with, great communication and ultimately a great sounding box that let me interface the preamps I already have as the 2 buss. A serious upgrade for a box that is reasonably priced for what it does. I would love to hear the other active summing mixers that he makes, but for now, I am a happy studio owner with the box he sent me. Thanks, Paul."

Passive Summing mixer come with 3 type of gain make up requirements:
Required Make Up Gain Range relative to 0dBsf (please let me know before make order)
LOW: -15dB gain up ideal for entry level preamps or DAW mic pre or instrument input
MID: -20dB gain up ideal for mid range preamps or DAW mic pre or instrument input
HIGH: -25dB gain up ideal for high range preamps like Neve, Api, Avalon or DAW mic pre
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. READ MORE...
