Wolff Audio ST-32 32 Channel Console

32 Channel console with FX Returns, 32 x WOLFF Preamps, 32 x FREQ EQ's

Console ST is a flagship analog console from Paul Wolff based on his massive knowledge of circuit design and long history of building classics that sound fantastic! His experience in recording and mixing translates to a workflow that is optimized to support the mystical creative process. The groove is supreme!

Hugely flexible. Designed for both tracking and mixing in a pure analog or hybrid DAW environment. Each Input Channel covers a huge variety of routing, signal control, and summing needs. Mic pres, dynamics and EQ are available via 500 series expansion. Use Wolff modules, or mix and match from the massive variety of 500 modules to build the “perfect” input strip, or implement a variety for different use cases.

Available as a preconfigured “Catalog Console” or fully customizable. Paul pioneered this extreme modularity with the beloved Tonelux consoles. Console ST can be configured for the needs of the engineer and/or installation, including a near infinite variety of channel count, signal flow, modules, bussing and physical layout.

Premier Audio Quality
• Clean, neutral input channel, preserving the character of the source
• Balanced internal circuitry at +4 dBu, tons of headroom, excellent interference cancellation and low noise
• Localized summing for signal integrity and low noise

Routing Flexibility
• 3 simultaneous, summable inputs
• 3 stereo Mix buses
• 8 Sends (2 Mono and 1 Stereo with 3 assignable busses)
• Insert point with a blend
• Inline design that splits input channel into two paths
• All key points in the signal path available via DB25s.
• Expansion bus and send modules (808, 508)

Tracking/Mixing/DAW
• DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) mode, similar to traditional inline console designs
• In DAW mode, large fader controls level from DAW and small fader/pot controls tracking level
• Seamless transition between tracking and mixing phases
• In Mix or "Summing mode", each channel supports 4 inputs. A 24 channel console supports 96 inputs on mix down!

Mix Bus "Tone Cards"
• 3 slots - mix and/or match tones
• Signal path includes multiple stages of amplification and transformer coupling
• Available options: Capi Red Dot, Tonelux, 990s, Melcore, Nickel
• Insert point with blend for bus compression or other processing
• +4 dBu operating level for optimal headroom and low noise
• 808M Module supports even more tone options!

500 Series Expansion
• Integrated 500 series slots for additional processing modules
• Insert Wolff 500 modules or 3rd party - preamps, EQs, compressors, etc
• 500 buckets can be positioned anywhere within a custom console layout (including remotely in a rack)
• All I/O from 500 series buckets is available on DB25s to route internally or to external patchbay

Metering
• Analog or LCD metering - user's choice, mix and match
• Classic analog meters with great ballistics
• LCD meters have incredible responsiveness, and can display a bazillion different things (Designed by THD Labs)
• Monitor input levels, bus levels, or output levels - signal path insert points are available for additional options
• Grand Master meters automatically follow the selected monitoring source

Fader Automation
• 100mm analog fader and mute automation for level control (Designed by THD Labs)
• Relative and absolute modes, and solo-in-place
• Faders can be used as controllers to automate a variety of supported DAWs

Fully Customizable
• Modular "bucket" design allows full customization of channels and processing
• The "sound" of the console is defined by the installed Tone Cards
• Profile/angle fully customizable - classic rake or shallow slope
• Options: Center "Producer Section," Master Section on the side, additional busses in a side rack, and many more
• Bucket modularity allows for easy reconfiguration and expansion as needs change

Reliability
