ToolMix/ToolMst User Manual
The Units
All ToolMix Units contain all necessary master amplifiers and a complete link interface to be used stand-alone, as slave, or as mas-
ter for a set of ToolMix devices.
TOOLMIX8
ToolMix8 is a compact line mixer with 8 input channels with a feature set close to a conventional input channel. Each channel has a balanced
input, input gain control with calibrated center position and +/- 20 dB range, a fully buffered, balanced, switched insert, a rotary fader with
calibrated center position, an also calibrated pan pot, a peak present indicator, and PFL and CUT switches. In addition, there are two aux
sends. The aux sends are configured pre fader; changing to post fader is possible by internal jumpers. Unlike other line mixers where the so
called insert is nothing but a simple input A/B switch with a passive parallel output of one of the inputs, the ToolMix insert point is located
post input amplifier and input gain control. It is fully buffered and balanced and capable to handle input and output levels of + 30 dBu. This
principle allows you to control the input level of external processing gear without the need to change the DAW output level.
TOOLMIX16
ToolMix16 contains 16 mono input channels with rotary fader and pan pot, peak present indicator, and PFL and CUT switch. Unlike the Tool-
Mix8, ToolMix16 has no input gain controls, inserts, and aux sends but 16 instead of 8 input channel. The faders and pan-pots have precisely
calibrated center detents. With all pots set to center, ToolMix16 preserve the original level relations of the DAW outputs but offers the addi-
tional choice of direct analog control when necessary.
