Wes Audio ngSumBox

The WesAudio ngSumBox is an 18x2 analogue summing system that provides sixteen fully controllable channels, two external inputs and full digital recall, delivering studio‑grade depth, width and musical cohesion for professional hybrid studios.

Classic Analogue Warmth Meets Modern Hybrid Flexibility

WesAudio builds on decades‑long analogue summing heritage while adding contemporary workflow tools. The unit retains a discrete, high‑headroom signal path that imparts the recognised warmth of analogue circuitry, yet incorporates total‑recall plug‑ins that store every level, routing decision and processing setting inside the DAW. Engineers therefore enjoy the sonic character of vintage consoles without sacrificing the speed and precision of modern digital production.

Comprehensive Channel Control and Routing

Each of the sixteen input channels offers independent level adjustment and an adjustable total‑harmonic‑distortion knob, allowing users to dial in pristine clarity or subtle harmonic colour as required. The true L‑C‑R routing architecture places every channel precisely within the stereo field, while two analogue insert points on the summing bus enable external processing without breaking the analogue chain. Sixteen direct outputs, selectable pre‑ or post‑fader, support stem printing, parallel processing and intricate external routing schemes.

Integrated Controller Support for Hands‑On Mixing

The ngSumBox communicates seamlessly with MC and HUI controllers such as the SSL UF8, granting tactile fader control over every parameter. Users can manipulate channel levels, routing paths and processing settings directly from hardware, creating a console‑like experience that accelerates decision‑making and enhances creative flow.

Advanced Visual Feedback and Stereo Imaging

Dual VU meters illuminate each input channel, providing real‑time visual monitoring of individual levels and the summed stereo bus. An innovative WIDTH circuit expands the perceived stereo image naturally, delivering a broader, more immersive soundstage without artificial processing.

Deep DAW Integration and Automation

Dedicated plug‑ins embed the ngSumBox within any major DAW, offering full parameter recall on session load, complete automation support and instant A/B comparison. This tight integration ensures that analogue summing becomes an integral part of the digital workflow, preserving mix decisions across projects and collaborators.
