WesAudio ngSumBox Analogue Summing System

Analogue Soul, Digital Precision

The WesAudio ngSumBox is a professional 18x2 analogue summing system designed for mixing engineers who refuse to choose between the sonic richness of hardware and the efficiency of a digital workflow. By combining a high-headroom, pure analogue signal path with a high-speed digital control protocol, the ngSumBox acts as the ultimate centrepiece for the modern hybrid studio, providing the "glue" and depth of a classic console with the convenience of a DAW plug-in.

Total Recall, Zero Compromise
The ngSumBox bridges the gap between analogue warmth and digital speed by allowing you to save and automate every parameter—from individual channel levels to insert routing—directly within your DAW. Utilising WesAudio’s proprietary GCon protocol via USB or Ethernet, your hardware settings are stored within your session files, ensuring that complex analogue mixes can be revisited months later with perfect accuracy.

Custom Harmonic Character
Unlike traditional summing mixers, the ngSumBox offers fully variable THD control on every channel, allowing you to dial in anything from transparent clarity to rich, musical saturation. For added weight, you can engage the 'Iron' output stage, which routes your summed mix through Carnhill transformers and a passive attenuation circuit, delivering the legendary low-end punch and harmonic density found in world-class consoles.

Mastering-Grade Spatial Enhancement
Fine-tune your soundstage with the dedicated Width control, a mastering-grade circuit based on Mid/Side processing that allows you to expand the stereo image naturally. This innovative circuit adds depth and openness without introducing artificial phase artefacts, and it even provides subtle analogue colouration as it is driven, ensuring your final mix sounds cohesive and spacious.

Main features:

• 18x2 analogue summing architecture featuring 16 controllable channels and 2 external inputs
• Pure analogue signal path with full digital recall and automation via VST/AU/AAX plug-ins
