Looks great. Does a lot of what I use my Xone96 for but smaller than my Mackie 802… I hope the channel main/filter routing and filter q selectors are plop free.

Shame the aux returns don’t have volume control though.

You beat me to it. A little more infos in this video for the Jellymix.

Wee bit bigger with some CV inputs and this could have been a mini Zähl.

Yeah I do find it odd that this and the recent pitsburg modular mini mixer thing didn’t do any cv control options, I suppose that is a bigger more expensive mixer at that point… but yeah I agree a mini zahl (some what affordable zahl) would be very cool.

As is jellymix really reminds me of some of the premium rotary mixers feature wise… just needs a master iso EQ

Zoom L6 is not quite as pretty, but 5 stereo channels, 2 aux sends, compressor, effects, phantom power AND 10 in 6 out interface. AND records all tracks seperately to a microsd. AND is half the price. AND takes batteries.

I think as a compact desktop mixer this looks great. Don’t need a lot of bells and whistles, just decent spacing and small footprint.

I don’t think it’s is a super comparison… like this looks like a mixer you would play, the zoom is a mixer your set up and leave alone… the fx on the zoom aren’t really something many would use given other options. I think more so it is digital mixer vs analog mixer with tilt EQs and analog filters. It’s like a podcasting mixer vs a mixer meant to be used as an instrument.

Yes

  • 2 Stereo Aux Sends, each with Pre/Post Options.

Digital mixers will add ugly latency when sending out via an aux and returning the effected signal on an input. Fine for 100% wet reverb etc but not for anything that needs to remain in phase, like distortion. That s one of the reasons why to some people the Zoom comparison doesn’t hold.

the intellijel rep posting here mentioned that the insides are jam packed already

Wholly irrelevant photography rant

When you shoot RAW but forget to apply a look up table afterwards to balance the color properly, so everything looks grey and washed out. It’s kinda like 24 bit recording but not bothering to EQ or normalize before release.

The image was taken from an instagram story… just a screen shot so probably a picture taken with a mobile phone in a badly lit environment hehe

For me, first impression is that this is landing more in the same space as the SSL Big Six than something like the Zoom. I’ve wanted a playable mixer for a while now and this pretty much exactly what I was hoping for on a lot of levels.

Wondering about the choice to have input gain as well as level on each channel. Kneejerk reaction is that input gain is easily set at the source and the space occupied by this pot could have been better used to fit a slider or flesh out the EQ section. Is this a convention that comes from modular?

I mean, it’s pretty standard on DJ mixers. You want your sources levelled to start with so that you can use the main volume pot for performance.
