Hum Audio N-Trophy Console Center Section
N-Trophy is a fully discrete, modular analog in-line console designed to become the heart of a modern analog or hybrid studio, where sound quality and fast, creative work is a key. Where you don?t want to be overwhelmed by increasingly complex technology, but focus on the art itself. That is the way it should be. And all that you will experience with N-Trophy is just that. A beautiful classic console look is combined with an innovative approach to working on an analog console.
N-Trophy is a result of three years of meticulous development and countless hours spent on listening tests in our professional analog recording studio. Maximum care has been taken to choose every single component in N-Trophy?s audio path for the best possible sound quality and musicality. There is no smallest compromise anywhere. We designed special audio transformers and discrete opamps, as well as original six-band passive EQ, THD Stage, Tube Optical Compressor with innovative detection and compression circuits and unique stereo width expansion modules. At the same time, we eliminated all points where classic analog consoles used to be weak or overcomplicated. The signal path is also as short as possible, despite plenty of N-Trophy?s creative sound-shaping tools. It has also our revolutionary zero-loss Summing Matrix, where every channel is directly connected. Other analogue consoles use traditional long summing bus architecture that is a kind of compromise. We spent a lot of time in our lab and studio to develop the best possible summing circuits to complete N-Trophy?s top-quality audio path. They are all based on the legendary Jensen JE990 discrete opamps. We have also taken special care to develop the classic linear power supply with a custom double shielded toroidal transformer, acting as a power conditioner for very low noise performance. +/- 24V console powering ensures very large headroom.
Our goals were to reach the best possible sound quality together with exceptional creativity, musicality and practical functionality. In many scenarios, you will not need any additional analog gear to do all studio tasks. N-Trophy gives you practically all creative sound-shaping tools that music producers ever wanted to have in one analog console, but never got them before. Until now.
N-Trophy is also extremely enjoyable and easy to use, allowing artist / engineer to focus on the fast creative work, where our console simply shines. Surely, it sets a completely new approach in modern music recording and production in analog domain. It never tries to replace processes that are better in the digital domain, like very sharp eq curves, or phase-manipulating plugins, but what is possible and sounds best in analog " it does with perfection.
N-Trophy delivers extremely vital, deep, musical, and audiophile-quality sound with lots of details, for the most demanding classical recordings, or earth-shaking, saturated and colored sound for modern genres. It depends on you.
