Catalyst Audio Model 106 Mixer

The Model 106 is a 100% discrete transistor based 6 input audio mixer.

​

Functionally, It allows the user to manually mix 6 signals into 1 output (All), or it may be used as 2 independent 3 into 1 mixers ("1-3" side and "4-6" side).

​

Aurally, the all transistor signal path adds it's own unique sonic signature, imparting a subtle lo-fi warmth and saturation to the sound.

 

Additionally, The "All" output is inverted with respect to the "1-3" and "4-6" outputs. This feature can be exploited to creative effect.

​

The Model 106 (Like all 100 Series Modules) is based off of designs originally pioneered by Don Buchla while working with the San Francisco Tape Music Center.
