- 36HP width with separate connector panel(s)
Low profile:
(Other panel formats may be custom ordered, or we can mount the electronics on your custom panels, as long as they conform to our mechanical accuracy.)
Features:
- LED illuminated switches on 12.7mm (0.5”) pitch
- Master Cut switch for each output.
- Bi-colour LED indication of output signal.
- 2.5mm brushed stainless steel panel.
I/O:
- 8 x balanced/unbalanced DC-coupled inputs. 100k ohm input impedance. (Optionally AC-coupled with DC servo, 10k ohm bridging load, and high-performance audio op amps for signal only applications.)
- 8 x balanced/unbalanced DC-coupled outputs, 470 ohm impedance.
- Output G may be used for main Pitch CV with 25 turn trimmer adjustment and link to 16 pin bus.
- Output H may be used for main Gate with both S-trig and full level V-trig on 3 pin KK 0.1” header and 5V level linked to 16 pin bus.

SwitchMix 8x8PEJ
As 8x8EJ, except:
- 0.1% resistors throughout signal paths for high-accuracy tracking when running separate VCOs or synthesizers from multiple outputs. (Not needed for audio or if only one common pitch CV is used, as 1% loss is less than 0.1 dB.)
- Pure green LEDs
- 8 x Balanced/unbalanced DC-coupled outputs, 100 ohm output impedance.
SwitchMix 8x8D
As 8x8E, but dual units mounted on 3U 19” panel.
SwitchMix 8x8C
Custom configuration of 8x8E; mixture of connector types and/or normalling. Options include custom panel graphics and integration of panel controls.
SwitchMix 12x12
Features and options as above, in 12x12 size (fits in 5U panel height).
SwitchMix 16x16
Features and options as above, in 16x16 size (fits in 6U panel height).
