OTO Machines Bb Chrie 6-Channel Stereo Analog Mixer

The Bb Chrie by OTO Machines is a wildly versatile 6-channel stereo analog mixer that pushes the boundaries of audio manipulation with its combination of technology and artistry.

Bb Chrie includes four channels that boast variable gain capabilities reaching a staggering +34 dB, an asymmetrical diode clipper on each, as well as a Tilt pot with a one-knob EQ for boosting lows and attenuating highs with precision. Its last two distortion-free channels introduce a two-band Baxandall EQ, offering a canvas for sounds on the cleaner side.

A one-knob compressor on its master bus operates at a 3:1 ratio, with fast attack and mid-release times that make it the perfect companion for mixdown compression. The Bliss pot, an innovative creation by OTO, controls a hi-frequency enhancer circuit. This feature breathes life into mixes, injecting air and punch, especially in the presence of substantial compression.

A Phones output houses housing a unity gain, low noise, and low distortion Texas Instruments amplifier. A mirror of the master output, this secondary output adds a layer of versatility. OTO used high-quality components in this device, including ALPS pots, high-performance operational amplifiers, Panasonic film capacitors, THAT Corporation VCAs, and Switchcraft 3.5 mm connectors, form the backbone of this audio marvel. Encased in a robust metal enclosure, the power supply is internally boosted to +/- 12 volts, ensuring professional audio headroom.
