HÖF Audio HF-16 Automix - 16-Kanal analog Studio-Automation 1985

HÖF Audio HF-16 Automix 16-Channel Fully Analog Automation Unit – Made in Germany Incl. Original Manual ( German ) The HÖF Audio HF-16 Automix is a rare, professional analog automation system designed for high-end studio and broadcast environments where sonic integrity and recallable level control are essential. Unlike modern digital solutions, the HF-16 keeps the entire audio path 100% analog. Level automation is achieved via MIDI-controlled analog circuitry, allowing precise, repeatable automation without any AD/DA conversion and without compromising headroom, depth, or transient response. This makes the HF-16 an ideal companion for vintage consoles, analog summing setups, and hybrid DAW workflows, where engineers want automation convenience while preserving the sound of their desk. Key Advantages 16 channels of analog level automation No digital audio conversion – audio remains fully analog MIDI-controlled automation (DAW or hardware controller) Extremely low noise floor and high headroom Designed for professional studio & broadcast use Very rare – seldom seen on the secondary market Typical Use Cases Stem or subgroup automation behind an analog console Analog summing with DAW-based automation Master or group level automation without digital coloration Hybrid mixing environments combining vintage gear and modern control Condition Fully functional Why This Unit Matters True analog automation systems like the HF-16 have become increasingly rare. For engineers who value recall, precision, and sound quality, this unit offers a solution that modern digital mixers and plugins simply cannot replicate. This is a tool for serious studios, not a consumer device. All channels operating correctly Cosmetic wear consistent with age Ask for shipping costs !
