Vostok Instruments Hive
Quad stereo mixer with CV-pannable channels in 10HP.
10 HP Eurorack module
Hive is a compact four-channel stereo mixer designed to fit modular and line-level sources into a 10HP footprint. Each channel takes a stereo (or mono-normalled-to-stereo) input through AC-coupled polypropylene-cap audio paths, with a +9 dB Gain trim, CV-pannable Pan position (with a -1.5 dB centre pan law), and a dual-color LED that shows level and side at a glance (white = left, orange = right). The four channels sum into a stereo master bus with red clip indicators per side and a single Master volume. Rear-panel chain ports let multiple Hives sum into one master, building out larger sub-mix systems or stereo effects loops.
