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!

"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 rescue 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 claims that he would wish, he could redo all his old mixes, using the SSA2B
