Classic Analog, Modern Workflow, Infinitely Configurable
SHIPPING!
Console ST is a flagship analog console from Paul Wolff based on his massive knowledge of circuit design and long history of building classics that sound fantastic! His experience in recording and mixing translates to a workflow that is optimized to support the mystical creative process. The groove is supreme!
Hugely flexible. Designed for both tracking and mixing in a pure analog or hybrid DAW environment. Each Input Channel covers a huge variety of routing, signal control, and summing needs. Mic pres, dynamics and EQ are available via 500 series expansion. Use Wolff modules, or mix and match from the massive variety of 500 modules to build the “perfect” input strip, or implement a variety for different use cases.
Available as a preconfigured “Catalog Console” or fully customizable. Paul pioneered this extreme modularity with the beloved Tonelux consoles. Console ST can be configured for the needs of the engineer and/or installation, including a near infinite variety of channel count, signal flow, modules, bussing and physical layout.
