Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 16-channel, 19-inch rackmount analog summing mixer with per-channel inserts, dual stereo Mix-A/Mix-B routing, balanced DB-25 connectivity, and comprehensive metering.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Professional studios needing 16 channels of analog summing
- Mix workflows that benefit from two stereo program busses
- Studios that need an insert send/return on each channel
- Rackmount setups using balanced line-level DB-25 connections
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups that do not need a 16-channel analog summing mixer
- Workflows that do not require per-channel inserts or Mix-A/Mix-B routing
- Studios without space for a 19-inch rackmount unit and external power supply
