The Lowdown
The Radius Two Valve is a two-channel all-analogue compact rotary mixer by boutique mixer company MasterSounds. It features a simple, no-nonsense layout: two mixer channels with rotary volume knobs instead of faders, three-band EQs, trim pots, crossfader assign switches, a crossfader curve knob and a crossfader. Both mixer channels have “dual triode valves” (ie vacuum tubes) that add analogue warmth and slight compression characteristics to audio passing through the mixer, which is one of the main selling points of this beautiful hand-built device.
