LITTLE BUSTARD - 16 CHANNEL VALVE SUMMING MIXER

Thermionic Culture have released the Little Bustard, their second valve summing mixer which has been designed to complement the Fat Bustard valve summing mixer by increasing the number of input channels. Or the new 19" 2u Little Bustard can be used independently by itself as a stand alone mixer. Features include 16 input channels arranged as 6x stereo pairs with fixed gain at unity level with on/off switches, 4x mono inputs with mute switches and pan pots which can be defeated by another switch adding an extra 6dB of gain. The master output section has independent left right 31 position output indented pots with a gain range from -17db to +2db. The valves used are 2 x 12AX7/7025 for gain and 2 x EC86/E86C for output stages. Two “eyes” which change colour act as output level indicators.   To create a monster-summing mixer, The Little Bustard's outputs can be plugged into the Fat Bustard's AUX inputs increasing the number of channels to 28.
