HÖF Audio HF-16 Automix
16-Channel Fully Analog Automation Unit – Made in Germany
Incl. Original Manual ( German )
The HÖF Audio HF-16 Automix is a rare, professional analog automation system designed for high-end studio and broadcast environments where sonic integrity and recallable level control are essential.
Unlike modern digital solutions, the HF-16 keeps the entire audio path 100% analog. Level automation is achieved via MIDI-controlled analog circuitry, allowing precise, repeatable automation without any AD/DA conversion and without compromising headroom, depth, or transient response.
This makes the HF-16 an ideal companion for vintage consoles, analog summing setups, and hybrid DAW workflows, where engineers want automation convenience while preserving the sound of their desk.
