Wes Audio ngSUMBOX
The Wes Audio ngSUMBOX is a high-end 18×2 analog summing mixer with digital recall, designed for modern hybrid studios that demand true analog summing combined with full DAW integration. Developed by Wes Audio, the ngSUMBOX delivers enhanced depth, width, and separation while maintaining complete recall and automation.
At its core, the ngSUMBOX features 16 fully controllable summing channels plus 2 additional external inputs, allowing flexible integration of stems, effects returns, or submixes. Each channel offers digitally controlled analog level adjustment, LCR routing, and variable THD, enabling precise stereo placement and harmonic character shaping directly in the analog domain.
The unit includes extensive routing and monitoring options, including pre- and post-fader direct outputs, dual analog insert points, and a stereo WIDTH circuit for natural stereo enhancement. Thanks to Wes Audio’s hybrid design philosophy, all analog parameters can be stored, recalled, and automated via plugin control, making the ngSUMBOX an ideal centerpiece for professional mixing, stem summing, and mastering workflows.
