6-channel performance mixer

Unique amongst its peers, using traditional mixer internal design and construction, the AREA.6 ensures studio grade sound quality, along with highly musical and playable features such as:

• FULLY ANALOGUE - 6 CHANNELS
• INSERT, 2x AUX SEND, 2x STEREO RETURN
• CV CONTROL FOR LEVEL, AUX & PAN
• TILT EQ

FILTER - Has five controls, Frequency, Resonance, Filter select (HPF/LPF) Drive, and Aux send.

Filter offers both High-Pass and Low-Pass filtering with adjustable resonance.

Frequency sweep range HPF, 30Hz to 10kHz

Frequency sweep range LPF, 20kHz to 30Hz

Filter On/Off is soft-switched to minimise audio disturbance when operating. 

The Drive control progressively clips the audio signal resulting in significant harmonics.

The output from the Filter can be routed to the Aux 1 mix bus.

Filter CV in ranges from 0V to +5V which will sweep the filter across its full range.

COMPRESSOR - has three controls, Ratio, Threshold and Gain.

The compressor uses peak detection.

Gain range is +/- 20dB, Centre detent is Unity

Threshold range from -30dB to +10dB

Ratio control from fully CCW to centre = 1:1 to approximately 5:1. From centre to 3 o-clock, compression starts to go negative but with a proportion of the dry signal mixed in.

From 3 o-clock to fully CW the Dry signal is combined with negative compression offering parallel-compression.

Compressor CV out ranges from +5V (no Compression) to 0V (full Compression)

Positioned for artists working across modular and hybrid rigs, AREA.6 combines Union Audio's traditional analogue mixer design with carefully considered essential creative tools, to provide artists with super high audio quality output that can be shaped, balanced and mixed in new and intuitive ways.

Unlike many Eurorack mixing solutions that prioritise modular expansion, AREA.6 focuses on immediacy and musicality—delivering a responsive, performance-first experience.

Ships as a desktop model with real wood end-panels, Eurorack compatible.

Designed to be fitted to a Eurorack case with the usual ribbon cable PSU connection.
