SM 26B SWISS ARMY MIXER
Introduction
Everyone needs a line level mixer. Even my mother. It
has to be small, and cheap, and versatile. It has to be
able to mix split, distribute, level match, amplify, at‑
tenuate and pan—all without adding any distortion or
noise whatsoever. The mind reels...
And recovers, and discovers the Rane SM 26B Split‑
ter Mixer. It is small (1 rack space), extremely versatile,
and affordable. It is a 6 in / 2 out mixer, a 2 in / 6 out
splitter/distribution amplifier, and a 6 in / 6 out buffer
amplifier. It has 12 dB of gain and better than 80 dB
of attenuation. The distortion products are less than
.009% and the noise floor is a trifle 35 microvolts.
Inside this RaneNote is found a gruelingly complete
description of the innards of an SM 26B and a patheti‑
cally skimpy introduction to the many possible ap‑
plications of same. Such is my belief that you are the
best judge of how to apply the SM 26B once you really
understand its workings.
