XAOC Devices Ostrawa

Stereo four-channel voltage-controlled mixer with aux send and metering

20 HP Eurorack module

Ostrawa is a fully stereo four-channel voltage-controlled mixer built around high-quality VCAs and a DC-coupled signal path. Each channel offers CV-controllable volume and pan, a switchable pre/post-VCA stereo aux send, clickless muting, and a five-LED level meter. A soft-clipping stereo mixing bus, stereo aux returns, direct stacking inputs, and unit chaining make it a compact but expandable mixing console.
