Well, Lorenz, we glad that our sound feelings not contradicting yours thumbsup Though right sounding is just result of right engineering, without audiocraziness, on base of solutions which are well known many years, the usual tube stages running in correct modes. But, how it`s known - ''the simple things are much harder for understanding" and way to simple solutions is not simplest. So... we glad for our right way again

.....I can have it fixed by a tech next year January. And when it is fixed I am going to SELL the Topaz. And when it is sold, the summing mixer is a "Reality" if you know what I mean. I started to really think about my setup and the Topaz is a great mixer, but that hum is just annoying. So selling the Topaz and having a more reliable solution is more than welcome....

A small amount of knobs is short way to big sound.

If seriously I think that passive summing in junction with good control surface for control of DAW automatization lets to give more good and exact mixes than mixing on consoles like FOH and similar, without automatization and with longest sound path and noisy also. As well as it`s good solution/reasonable money investments in studios with small/middle budgets. Active channels (incl. automatization in analog domain) at mixing is another story.... much more expensive. Not think that it could be performed in simple and nonexpensive way. I mean technically, with all our reasonable ascetism at devices developing.

..... The settings are : Hard knee, little input gain, cathode driver, minimal peak reduction but quite a lot of the ratio function.....

OK, thanks Dennis thumbsup this mode alike limiter, high Ratio degree and high level of threshold. Also (though with another effect), settings can be - Ratio <=12PM and Peak Reduction 11AM-1PM for instance. In this case drums would be pumped up with another energy type, though it depend from drums type and creative idea, of course. But I mention for acoustic drums in more degree, with wide dynamical & freq. range.
