AREA.6 Eurorack Mixer

Union Audio AREA.6

AREA.6 from Union Audio brings the brand's refined approach to DJ mixer tools to Eurorack set-ups, offering a premium, six-channel Eurorack-compatible mixer designed for live performance. Where most large mixer concepts in Eurorack focus on expandability, AREA.6 takes aim at providing a balanced feature set and top-quality sound, offering a powerful station for hands-on mix control that's perfect in a live setting. Each of its six stereo channels is feature-rich, giving you everything you need to route signals creatively and mix them into studio-grade shape. For each channel, you get two aux sends with two stereo returns to support dub delays and so much more, as well as integrated DJ-style tilt filters for creative filtering and carving space in a mix. In addition to smooth rotary level controls and accessible mute switches, each channel can be selectively routed to a master filter section, giving you a buttery and resonant low or high pass filter perfect for drops, transitions, and all manner of filter sweeping fun.

At the end of the chain, a robust compressor is onboard for sculpting that professional sound, with both a sidechain input and a dedicated CV output for taking the compression control signal out to other modules. Speaking of CV control, AREA.6 provides CV level controls for each channel, as well as CV inputs for pan and auxiliary CV inputs. In the Master section, output level for both the main outputs and the onboard headphone output make it easy to dial in monitoring and main system levels, while a DJ-style cue system makes it easy to audition sounds before dropping them in or simply check your patch during set-up and soundcheck. AREA.6 comes inside a sleek enclosure of its own complete with wooden sides, perfect for bouncing between disparate set-ups or integrating a hybrid modular and desktop rig. For those yearning for the integrated solution, the module can be installed in a standard Eurorack case, making it that much easier to tote it around to gigs, jams, and studio sessions. For live performance mixing in Eurorack and beyond, AREA.6 from Union Audio is sure to mix up new avenues of expression with hands-on control and powerful sound shaping potential.
