Condesa Electronics

Condesa Electronics makes rotary mixers in Australia. Its Carmen designs are used to connect record decks and amplification in several of the featured rooms.

Design & approach

Condesa hand-builds fully discrete analogue rotary mixers in South Australia. Its range offers different channel counts, equalizer arrangements and isolator options. Those are practical choices for a venue’s selectors: they determine how sources are blended and how broad frequency adjustments can be made during a set.
