analog mixer
Non-digital audio combiner
An analog mixer is audio equipment that blends multiple sound signals using physical circuitry rather than digital processing.
Sound engineers use them in recording studios, live performances, and radio stations to adjust volume, tone, and effects for each input channel: The band ran everything through an analog mixer for that warm vintage sound.
Many prefer analog mixers for their tactile controls and the subtle harmonic coloration they add to recordings.
