Analog Summing :
High End Analog Solutions

2-Bus is a 16 X 2 summing amplifier where high-quality analog circuits sum to a
stereo bus from the analog outputs of your DAW's I/O unit. Digital mixing and
summing inside your DAW to stereo outputs require that you do not overload the
internal digital mixing bus by lowering all mixer faders. When any track fader's
level is internally reduced, its digital resolution is also reduced. Spreading out a
mix over many stems and direct outputs lets you maintain hotter digital levels
for higher resolution, resulting in a better-sounding mix with increased depth,
image width and headroom, and less distortion.

"What is analog summing ? "

Once you have adjusted to using the stem mixing via the 2Bus, it's the same as
mixing down a stereo pair inside Pro Tools except you'll have more headroom
and dynamic range, a wider stereo spread and clearer sound--just like you find
when mixing PT track outputs on an analog desk. And just like on an analog
board, you find yourselfself having to work a little harder on plug-in settings,
effects, mix moves and minutia because of the increased clarity and transparency.
If you like mixing separate outputs of your DAW on a large analog mixing
console, but owning one or paying for studio time is out of the question, the
2-Bus with its minimal signal path electronics accomplishes the same summing
process.

"What is the difference between the 2-BUS and the 2-BUS LT?"

The 2-Bus has a +6dB gain circuit for each input pair, the LT does not.

The 2-Bus has a stepped attenuator output gain gontrol, the LT has a stereo
potentiometer.

They use different switches.

The 2-Bus is 2RU with XLR ins and outs, the LT is 1RU with 25-pin D connectors
for the inputs, and XLR outs.

The 2-Bus has a linear power supply, and the LT uses a switching supply.

There are a few differences in component choice and layout, but the basic circuit
architecture and the amps we use are all the same.

The LT employs more surface mount components than the D2B. They both
spec out very respectably.

The 2-Bus performs slightly better, particularly for crosstalk at higher
frequencies. As for the qualitative difference in sound, it is highly subjective
- they both work great, and sound nearly identical.
