Kahayan Pro Audio Vintage 80 Series Stereo Mix Buss Processor for Rich Analog Warmth
The Kahayan Pro Audio Vintage 80 Series Stereo Mix Buss Processor is a high-end audio tool that allows you to add the legendary sound of the classic 80 series Neve consoles to your mix. Known for their warmth, richness, and detail, these consoles were staples of the '60s and '70s, capturing the essence of analog music with a breathtaking midrange and harmonic structure. With the Vintage 80 Series Mix Buss, you can bring that same iconic sound into your modern mixes, injecting them with a rich, colored tone that brings your tracks to life. Perfect for both seasoned professionals and home studio owners, this processor enhances your sound with vintage analog character and precision.

Classic Neve Console Sound with Modern Flexibility
At the heart of the Vintage 80 Series Mix Buss is a summing bus circuit inspired by the classic Neve consoles. These consoles are revered for their ability to deliver a fat, warm, and vibrant sound, and now, this processor brings that sound directly to your mix bus. The Vintage 80 Series Mix Buss lets you recreate that iconic analog sound, whether you’re working on a full band mix or focusing on smaller instrument groups. With its simple controls and powerful analog tone, this unit allows you to add richness and depth that modern digital tools often struggle to replicate.

Harmonic Saturation and Tone Shaping with Drive Control
One of the standout features of the Vintage 80 Series Mix Buss is its Drive control, which allows you to add harmonic saturation to your mix. As you adjust the Drive, the unit introduces a smooth saturation that enhances the low end while adding texture to the high frequencies. This feature is essential for achieving the "glue" that holds your mix together, bringing warmth and musicality to your sound. Whether you want to subtly enrich your tracks or add more pronounced warmth, the Drive control ensures you can dial in the perfect amount of harmonic content.

Effortless Control Over Levels and Blending
The Vintage 80 Series Mix Buss includes an Output control to compensate for the added gain from the Drive control. This ensures your levels stay consistent and your mix remains balanced. Additionally, the Blend control allows you to adjust the dry/wet mix from 0 to 100%, providing you with the flexibility to fine-tune the amount of saturation and tonal shaping in your sound. Whether you’re looking for subtle enhancement or a more pronounced analog feel, the Blend control gives you full control over the effect applied to your mix.

Transformer Bypass for Smoother Sound
The Transformer Bypass feature is another key element of the Vintage 80 Series Mix Buss. This feature allows you to bypass the transformer for a smoother sound when needed. For those moments when you want to keep the signal path as clean and transparent as possible, bypassing the transformer ensures a less colored, more natural sound. This versatility allows you to tailor the amount of warmth and character you add to your mix, giving you the best of both worlds – classic analog tone and transparent clarity when desired.

Versatile and Easy to Integrate into Your Setup
Designed with ease of use in mind, the Vintage 80 Series Mix Buss is intended to be used primarily as an insert on your mix bus, but it can also enhance instrument group busses. We recommend inserting it before starting the mix to give your entire mix a rich and cohesive foundation. The unit features two balanced XLR inputs and outputs for easy integration into any professional setup, and it comes with an external power supply for stable, reliable performance. Whether you’re working in a home studio or a professional facility, this mix buss processor fits seamlessly into your workflow.
