INTRODUCTION

The Epsilon II is a 24 channels summing mixer unique in the mixing market.
It’s capable of combining 3 summing styles using only 1 machine. This
means 3 different ‘’analog consoles’’ in 1 summing mixer. The 3 summing
modes are: Kahayan, Module and passive (see page 7).

Another unique aspect to the Epsilon II is the possibility to expand through
the use of external modules. These modules can add new summing styles.
We reccommend Kahayan modules like the Kahayan Vintage 12k72 or Solid
4000, and also quality preamps. Our equipment posesses the ability of
expansion meaning it is in constant evolution.

All components are hand-selected one by one. The Assembly is completely
handmade. The Rack consists of 3 rack units of 28 cm depth. Furthermore the
unit was conceived as a Summing Bus and can be used as mastering
equipment using only two channels.

HEATING AND WARM-UP

It is advisable to wait a minute after turning it on, to modify the gain and output
levels, this way avoiding any noise generated by the lack of capacitor charging.
An effect that may damage the reference speakers.
