8x8 Active Matrix Desktop Mixer

The 8x8 Active Matrix Desktop Mixer is a fully active 8-input x 8-output matrix mixer designed in a compact 12” x 12” x 3” desktop format. Whether you're routing audio, CV, or other signals, this flexible unit gives you total control in a sleek aluminum enclosure.

Key Features:

  • Dual Format Inputs & Outputs:
    Choose any 2 formats from 1/8” (3.5mm), 1/4” (6.35mm), Banana, or TiniJax jacks to match your studio or modular setup.

  • Per-Channel Pre-Amps with Gain Control:
    Each of the 8 input channels features a built-in preamp offering up to 2x gain, adjustable via input attenuators. At 12 o'clock, the signal passes through at unity; fully clockwise gives you double the input level.

  • Signal Routing & Inversion:
    Every matrix point includes a 3-way toggle switch, allowing you to send the signal to an output as On, Off, or Inverted. This gives you precise control over summing, phase manipulation, and creative routing.

  • Master Controls on Outputs:
    Each of the 8 outputs includes its own dedicated level control and a cut switch, offering both fine-tuned mix control and immediate signal muting.

  • Bonus Utility: Format Jumbler Multipliers
    Two passive format jumblers are included (1/8” to dual 1/4”), handy for bridging between formats or expanding your patching options.

Build & Power:

  • Enclosure: Rugged 12” x 12” x 3” aluminum boat.

  • Power: Runs on a 9–15V DC wall wart (power supply included).
