Concept

Designed for Performative Mixing – Live or Studio

Our aim was to develop a compact, exceptionally high-quality analog mixer that prioritizes the most essential and effective controls for intuitive, performative workflows in both studio and live applications. Flexible routing options, extensive connectivity, and CV control over selected parameters ensure deep integration into a wide range of setups.

For maximum transparency, the PM12 features a purist signal path across the input stage, single-knob EQ, aux path, fader stage, and main circuits.

The saturation stage, CV-controllable high- and low-pass filters, and VCA-equipped (and therefore CV-controllable) effects paths provide versatile tonal and dynamic shaping.

For glitch-free, on-the-fly switching, the main signal path employs zero-cross detection, while the filter stage uses VCA-based crossfading to eliminate unwanted artifacts during transitions.

The default configuration offers 12 stereo channels (24 inputs). Ten channels are identical and fully featured, while channels 11 and 12 provide a streamlined feature set. Channels 1–10 can operate in stereo, mono, or layered dual-mono mode.

All 12 stereo channels feature direct outputs, which can be globally configured as preamp, pre-fader, or post-fader.

Two D-sub connectors on the rear panel allow two PM12 units to be linked, enabling higher channel counts in the studio or back-to-back linking for collaborative live performance.
