Technical details of the cre8audio Assembler

With its ten audio inputs, the cre8audio Assembler offers a wide range of possibilities for different audio scenarios and workflows. Channels 1 and 2 offer complex mono channels with vintage-inspired EQs and up to 20x gain. These channels allow not only subtle sound enhancements, but also more aggressive signal processing with rich analog-style saturation. Each channel is equipped with a dual aux send that can accommodate flexible audio processors such as reverb or delay. The channels have a dedicated pan control, mute options and a three-stage LED display for precise signal monitoring.

In addition to the more complex mono channels, the Assembler offers four standard mono channels, which are also equipped with up to 20x gain and two aux sends. These channels offer the same extensive range of functions as the more complex channels, but without the extended EQ options. Two channels are available for stereo inputs, which also have an aux send and the same functionality as the other channels. A unique feature of the Assembler is the analog tape saturation emulation, which warms up the sound of each channel and mimics the dynamics of a classic mixing console.

The three flexible aux send channels allow the integration of external effects such as reverb and delay or can be used as submix channels. The two stereo return channels and the mono return channel offer an additional amplification range of up to 2.7x gain, allowing for even deeper sound shaping. In addition, all the aux back channels are equipped with a mute function that allows precise control and mixing of external effects.
