Overview – The Benefits of Analogue Summing

This means that Sumo can take whatever
you throw at it without distortion or
noise.

Another feature of large format studio
consoles is the inclusion of a compressor
over the main stereo bus. Consequently,
the bus compressor from the ASP8024
has also been included in Sumo’s design: a
flexible, high quality compressor capable
of polishing a mix to perfection. And
there’s more; we’ve added in a digital
equipment guarding, mix fattening peak
limiter to help your mix stand out without
risking nasty digital distortion.

To cap it all off, the monitor section gives
you hands-on control of your playback
level while the external input allows you to
A/B your mixes against some reference
material, or listen to the playback from
your master recorder.

Optional Extras

If your Sumo is equipped with a digital
card, you’ll be able to output a stream of
lovely 0s and 1s at rates of up to 192kHz
on both AES/EBU and S/PDIF
standards.

As your studio and track counts expand,
you can expand your sumo system with
the addition of up to 3 units, giving you a
total of 64 inputs. If you are feeling
particularly track hungry, then each of the
expansion units can provide 3 more
expansion inputs etc. etc…
