For sale is my Vintage Maker U475 2C, configured as a 16-input / 2-output analog summing mixer with XLR connections, in excellent condition.

One of the best features of the U475 2C is its ability to operate in both active and passive summing modes, giving you two very different ways to integrate it into your mix bus.

In active mode, the unit uses its built-in Neumann-style line amplification, which adds a distinctive analog character, depth, and color to the stereo mix.

In passive mode, you can bypass the active amplification and use the summing network with your favorite external mic preamps or line amplifiers, allowing you to choose exactly how much color or transparency you want.

This makes the U475 2C extremely flexible. You can use the internal active stage when you want more personality and analog tone, or pair the passive output with a very clean preamp when you want maximum transparency and control.

Features include:

• 16 analog inputs
• 2-channel stereo output
• XLR connectivity
• Active and passive summing operation
• Neumann-style active line amplification
• Ability to use external mic preamps in passive mode
• Excellent for hybrid mixing and analog summing
• Professional studio construction

The unit has been carefully used in a professional studio and is in excellent cosmetic and operating condition.

A great option for anyone looking for a flexible analog summing solution that can provide either vintage-style color or clean, transparent summing, depending on how you choose to run it.
