TUBE-TECH SSA2B Summing amp is capable making your mixes sound Wide, Punchy and Transparent, with Rock Solid Low End!

Sonically The SSA2B  very easily outperforms the quality of any digital audio workstations and even betters the performance of mixing amplifiers built into the most high-end analogue consoles.

For those of you that haven''t yet experienced the difference between even the best ITB mix and the real thing:

Do yourself a favour and listen to the SSA2B
 
Fact: The SSA2B sums your mix clearer, wider and punchier than anything, you''ve heard before.

With a simple, but well organized setup based around the SSA2B it''s possible to raise your mixing to a level, previously only possible from the biggest and most expensive studios.

Low end: The TUBE-TECH SSA2B will deliver the tightest low end on the planet.

Every user, we have been in contact with tells us about real low end improvement when using the SSA2B for summing.

Interview with Jacob Hansen,owner of very succesfull  HANSEN STUDIOS DK.

Jacob upgraded in July 2009 his mixing setup with the TUBE-TECH SSA2B summing amp.

( Changeover from another summing amp.)

Jacob Hansen is producing, engineering  and mixing tons of extremely sucesfull artists from all over the world.

"Bigger than Life" is a "Hansen" trademark.

Loads of heavy metal bands has been through the hands and ears of Jacob Hansen and lately numerous bands with different expresions have been blessed with Jacobs talent.

It'' the resolution, stereo imaging and especially the low end performance of the SSA2B, that improved Jacob''s mixing.

Statement from Jacob Hansen:

"The TUBE-TECH SSA2B finally makes it possible for me to have my mixes sounding the way I always dreamed about! This is a major possitive update for me!"

Compare the sound of an internal Pro Tools mix and the exact same mix summed with

TUBE-TECH SSA2B Summing Amp.          More samples will be uploaded soon.

Marty Stuart, Singer/Songwriter/ Nick Conley, Veteran Engineer USA

Nick Conley: 'It's getting harder for a lot of studios to justify spending thousands of dollars on a good analogue console, Even when I have access to one, I only use a portion of its capabilities.

But Marty and I both like tubes and transformers.

We need some iron in our diet, right?

So we asked the good folks at TransAudio Group ( TUBE-TECH US distributor )to send us a demo Tube-Tech SSA2B summing amp. I should have known it would be like bringing a puppy home for a demo.

There was no way we could send it back!

With the data compression and dynamics manipulation used today it is even more important to try to achieve as much separation as possible. With the new summing amp, the greater depth of field keeps things from wadding up in the centre, the way they otherwise do. The end result is greater clarity.'

"Since using the SSA 2B I''ve been achieving results I only thought possible on a large format console. The sound is pristine, with top and bottom end that goes on forever and the imaging is wider than the Grand Canyon."

Julio Reyes Copello, Grammy winner, Producer and Songwriter USA

Julio''s comment just after buying TUBE-TECH SSA2B + SMC2B:

"Guys, thank you very much!....I just want to say that it''s been the 
best investment I ''ve done in the last years. These two guys are The 
missing piece!. adiós to millions of frustrations.. the art of pure 
and happy sound it''s there!! wow!

Jacob Hansen, Producer, Engineer, Hansen Studios, Denmark

"Having worked with a different summing amp, and summing on a big vintage console, I didn''t think I''d hear much of a difference, if any, when I tested the Tube-Tech SSA2B summing amp.

But I was very wrong. My mixes sounded more tight and more together, as well as I got that smooth top-end and rock-solid low-end that I was always searching for!

Simply put, I could be creative with the mix instead of trying to solve frequency problems that would occur when summing on my other units, and on the console."

Jacob is now a happy owner of the SSA2B, and states that he would wish, he could redo all his old mixes, using the SSA2B.

It''s never gonna leave my rack."

Tube Summing Amp SSA2B

. The TUBE-TECH SSA 2B Stereo Summing Amplifier features two very low noise / low distortion summing amplifiers with a very wide frequency response. The inputs are transformer balanced and the circuits are symmetrical from input to output. The inputs are capable of handling extremely high input levels. The Outputs are balanced and have fully floating transformers with a static screen. The power supply and the sidechain circuits are based on a solid-state circuit. With the exception of the output stage all DC voltages are stabilised.

SSA2B Summing principle:

All inputs are balanced by two zero field transformers (one for each channel).
What is zero field transformer?
In the zero field transformer configurations, the transformer is part of the feedback circuit.
There are several benefits for this:
1. The voltage across the transformer is reduced substantially whereby a much
smaller transformer is needed for the same specification.
The reduction is of the same magnitude as the feedback applied.
2. The distortion at low frequencies is reduced substantially.
2. Frequency response in both the low and high range is extended.
3. Phase response in both the low and high range, is also reduced

 

• 10 stereo - 1 stereo output
• 2 first stereo inputs can be switched as 4 mono inputs
• 23-step gold plated output gain control
• Master Output Gain: -10 dB to +10 dB
• Fully symmetrical circuitry from input to output
• Zero field transformer balanced inputs.
• Maximum input > +30 dBu
• Low noise: < -85 dBu @ all inputs terminated
• Two large VU meters showing output level
• Frequency response 5 Hz – 100 kHz
• Distortion < 0,05 %
