TK Audio S-Blender
The TK-Audio S-Blender is a mini mastering console featuring two stereo inputs for parallel and serial processing. There’s a five-step mode control that alters the signal path, resulting in a plethora of combinations without any outboard connections required. The unit’s first insert is semi-fixed, while the second can be positioned at one of any four preselected points in the signal path. Users can swap the functionality of each input with the simple press of a button. There are also dedicated mute buttons, and a monitor section with volume control and a mono switch.
Input signals are split across three channels. The first consists of the unprocessed sound. The second features the Insert 1, and the third is only active in Mode 5 (which enables the third channel to be mixed into the output signal with dedicated volume control). Each of the three channels are followed by a mix point with a dedicated blend control for channels 1 and 2.
