Shure’s New AuxPander Increases Console Output Capabilities

Shure has announced the immediate availability of its new AuxPander insertable matrix mixer, an auxiliary send expander for mixing consoles.

Designed for touring musicians and sound engineers, the device is a flexible, cost-effective solution for situations in which more aux mixes are needed. AuxPander is currently shipping in North America.

AuxPander is a good compliment for standard mixing consoles because it increases a console’s output capabilities. The unique product allows users to turn any mixer into an 8-bus console.

"The AuxPander is a great solution for anyone who suddenly finds themselves in need of more Aux sends," stated Scott Sullivan, Shure's Category Director of Personal Monitor Products. "This can easily happen when a band adds personnel or new equipment, like personal monitors."

Compact and portable, the AuxPander is capable of mixing eight input signals and distributing them to any of the eight available outputs in any combination and at any volume level. Interfaced via a host console's insert points, AuxPander is expandable both vertically and horizontally to meet future sound system needs. For example, connecting two AuxPanders creates an 8x16 or a 16x8 matrix.

AuxPander carries a suggested retail price of $990.00 USD.
