Erica Synths Fusion Mixer V3 (14HP)

Full Description

Tube-Based Eurorack Mixer

The Erica Synths Fusion series of modules are designed with a combination of vacuum tubes and semi-conductors. This delivers a beautiful warm, rich, powerful sound like no other, alongside the overdrive capabilities that you can only achieve through the use of vacuum tubes. Placing this technology into your modular system in the form of the Fusion Mixer V3 gives you exceptional sound quality when mixing your audio signals, as well as the potential for soft-tube overdrive at levels set to 3 'o' clock and above. The Fusion Mixer is designed to mix audio signals on the audio tubes, with its two independent 3-input mixer sections.

Dual 3-Input Mixer Or Single 6-Input Mixer

The Fusion Mixer V3 features two identical independent 3-input mixer sections. These mixers are designed to mix the signal on the module's unique vacuum tube, providing a warm and powerful tone. The module's two 3-input sections can also be combined and used as a single 6-input mixer.

Features

• Dual Eurorack mixer module with 6 audio inputs

Controls & I/Os

• IN1 LEVEL: Input attenuators for IN A1 / IN B1
• IN2 LEVEL: Input attenuators for IN A2 / IN B2
• IN3 LEVEL: Input attenuators for IN A3 / IN B3
  • IN# LEVEL: Input attenuators adjust the mixer signal levels. The inputs accept signals at virtually any level, because they are fed directly into the vacuum tube. These controls allow you to adjust the signal level in order to achieve clean, undistorted signals at the outputs, or to use the potential of a vacuum tube to create beautiful rich and warm distortion/tube overdrive effects. Apply a PW pulse signal to one of the inputs, and you have a waveshaper. There are 6 attenuators in total, 3 for each section (A and B)
• IN A1/A2/A3: Inputs for connecting your audio signals for the first mixer section
• OUT A: Left/Section A output signal socket
• INV A: Inverted output signal of the Left/Section A
• IN B1/B2/B3: Inputs for connecting you audio signals for the second mixer section
• OUT A+B: Summed A + B section signal output. Allows you to mix all 6 inputs as a single mix whilst retaining the individual outputs for each section
• OUT B: Right/Section B output signal socket
