Summit Audio ECS-410 Everest

Take four of the most intense, flavorful audio processing blocks and fuse them into one master channel strip. Now add the most flexible and easy-to-use routing scheme and a huge array of inputs and outputs. Put it all into one beautifully crafted 2RU steel chassis and it's not just art, it's Summit Audio's ECS-410 Everest. Simply route from the Mz2 switchable tube-transistor preamp to the dual mode Dc1 dynamics module and try some sweet sounding LC passive EQ with the Fe1 EQ. Now send the signal to the switchable dual tube/high voltage transistor Db2 DriveBus output for added color, from subtle to intense, and route each section in and out with the touch of a single button with TouchPatch (tm), the original routing design from Summit Audio.

Each sections of the ECS-410 Everest has it's own balanced IO as well, so it really is like adding four complete products into your arsenal.
