Heritage Audio Introduces the Mix Buddy and TUBESTRIP

In a significant move for musicians and audio engineers, Heritage Audio has launched the Mix Buddy, a compact yet powerful 9-channel instrument mixer, alongside its innovative TUBESTRIP analog all-tube channel strip. The Mix Buddy is designed to empower audio creativity, making it easier than ever for users to manage their sound.

The Mix Buddy: A Command Center for Your Music

The Mix Buddy boasts seven dual-mono/stereo unbalanced inputs intended for instruments and line-level equipment, coupled with an additional channel featuring a tube-powered mic preamp. This allows musicians to seamlessly route their synthesizers, guitars, samplers, keyboards, and drum machines into one central unit, transforming it into a comprehensive command center for sound control.

One of the standout features of the Mix Buddy is its flexibility. Channels 1 through 7 can alternate between a dual configuration for stereo input or a throughput mode, making it suitable for Direct Injection (DI) purposes or as a patch point for effects pedals. This is particularly beneficial for musicians who wish to chain outboard gear or send additional signals to distinct outputs.

Additionally, channels 1 to 4 are equipped with Hi-Gain inputs to cater to low-output or vintage equipment. The design also incorporates a balanced stereo input for channels while channel 9 is dedicated as a microphone input with dedicated gain and level controls, complete with a +48V toggle for condenser microphones. Each channel includes its own auxiliary level control, allowing for custom effects integration and optimal sound management.

The TUBESTRIP: Elevate Your Recording Quality

Alongside the Mix Buddy, Heritage Audio is also excited to announce the TUBESTRIP analog channel strip. This all-tube unit features a unique preamp capable of delivering up to +60 dB of gain, tailored for professional-grade recording flexibility. The TUBESTRIP is designed to morph between Triode, Pentode, and UltraLinear modes, affording audio engineers substantial control over their sound output.

Furthermore, the TUBESTRIP comes equipped with an inductor-based three-band EQ, and two types of compressors—one being a tube-based Vari-Mu compressor and the other an optical compressor. Users can also adjust output trim levels from -14 to +6 dB and switch the sequence of EQ and compression for enhanced creativity and processing options.

Ideal for Various Audio Applications

These devices from Heritage Audio are not just for the pros; they cater to various users, including project studios, home musicians, and live sound setups. Their compact and portable designs make them ideal for gigging musicians seeking robust equipment without unnecessary bulk. The Mix Buddy and TUBESTRIP together cover the full spectrum of recording needs, from live performances to studio recording sessions, ensuring high-quality sound throughout.
