what a beauty, cant wait to hear its voice 
Because you need to buy other cables or adapters?
From reading the comments, I guess channel 5 and 6 are able to take euro levels but 1-4 have soft clipping built in. Muting a track with the mute button routes it to the aux out so you can kind of jury rig it as an fx send and give up a channel for the return but everything you send to it will have to be muted and you will need to mess with wet dry on the fx box itself. Seems manageable but maybe not ideal.
I would have liked to see trim pots on input and a proper fx send, but I have no doubt this think will sound great… could be a nice mastering tool if you got the outs on your audio interface to load it up as a master summing mixer.

OTO fanboy here, so tempting, love the colour too.
but tbh, i already have a model 1 mixer for ‘wired’ work, and a tx-6 for portable, i’m not seeing how this will bring anything I don’t already have.
too bad:
- no panning/eq?
- no multitrack recording (just as model 1)
i wonder what market they are aiming for here. perhaps the niche that really wants ‘analog’, and can’t afford a model 1

Yes, this could be interesting for a possible summing/mastering solution as well. Assuming the buttons do send to alt output. Get your boxes or tracks dialed in on channels 1-4, tweak master compressor and bliss to taste, then route the main mix back into one of the last two channels and do final tweaks on the bax eq, and then send that to an alt out as your final mix.

Like you don’t for other hardware? Lol, I mean part of having a studio is rewiring it and trying new gear. You can buy a pack of the 1010 cables and be done. It’s really not a huge complaint to me.
Thats good, this means less people buying when it comes out, so I can grab one easily.
Didn’t say I wasn’t going to buy one anyway. 
. Nah, probably won’t though, I really can’t justify the cost and need to purge some gear in 2023.
Very cool and for the price point and size it has interesting features. A send fx would have been nice but it would probably mean other compromises. There’s not much space to work with.
The tilt EQ is a great idea.
My mind is already brainstorming about possible setups where this could be the main mixer :). It sets some limitations in place which I actually enjoy. And this color next to perkons is just lovely

I can clearly see 2 pink Lyra-8 with this.

What is a tilt EQ?
I see OTO answered someone on IG that yes, the when channel buttons are engaged, the channel is muted and sent to the alt output. So definitely some configuration options here.
Also, this is probably the closest alternative I have seen that Stimming Mastering box. It’s portable, it has saturation (per channel, first four channels), it has a compressor, and it looks like you could route the main mix back into one of the last channels for bax eq. Also nice that it is a mixer, so more configurable, and much less expensive as well.

Its like a single knob EQ, like almost like a really wide bandpass filter. So you “tilt” the frequencies high or low. Not as powerful as a normal EQ but they can be easy in a performative situation, just one knob to think about.

I’m so not getting one.
And totally posting this just to get some attention, maybe a flag or two and a polarised string of replies between agreement and abuse, of which I welcome both and anything in between.
Mixer does look cool, tho. I like pink.

Something like a Base-Width Filter but you only have control on one of the side, you can’t narrow it.

Kind of like a stereo Bastl Dude. Very tempting.

Is this reverse psychology?

I love the alt mix routing. That’s one of the best features of Mackie mixers. Easy to quickly route anything to an Octatrack for instance.
And the pink will look rad next to Octatrack grey.

It’s like a seesaw. If you turn the knob to the right the sound becomes brighter and bass goes low. To the left you boost the bass and make the highs darker. Pretty handy to change the balance of a source quickly. And together with the level knob this gives quite a bit of control.

It’s a great color!
Why dingy green military powder-coating on my BIM/BAM/Boum?
Because.
The high quality components and headroom is killing me, I don’t need any more tone generators but I could see a small hi-fi mixer being useful, especially for live use.
Hopefully there’s more time to get debt-neutral before orders go up 
I mean, certainly ~600 is an easier sell than ~3000.
I’d like a Model 1 but I can’t see myself justifying one.
