Softube Console 1 Compact Control Surface: Big Console Workflow in a Smaller Footprint

Softube Console 1 Compact Control Surface: Big Console Workflow in a Smaller Footprint. Softube has officially expanded its acclaimed Console 1 ecosystem with the introduction of the new Softube Console 1 Compact Control Surface, delivering the sound, feel, and workflow of a professional large-format mixing console in an ultra-efficient desktop format. Designed for engineers, producers, mixers, and content creators who want to move beyond mouse-driven mixing, the Console 1 Compact provides direct hands-on control over the most critical aspects of a mix, including EQ, dynamics, saturation, filtering, shaping, and output processing. By bringing Softube's award-winning one-knob-per-function workflow into a smaller and more portable design, the Console 1 Compact makes professional mixing more accessible than ever.

At the heart of the system are Softube's touch-sensitive Analog Feel™ potentiometers, offering the tactile response and precision typically associated with premium analog outboard gear. Combined with a high-resolution smart display and intuitive layer-based workflow, the Compact allows users to focus on listening rather than looking at a screen. Despite its compact size, the Console 1 Compact delivers the same premium construction found throughout the latest Console 1 lineup, featuring an anodized aluminum chassis, Nordic Night Sky finish, bright RGB status indicators, and more than ten times the control resolution of previous-generation Console 1 hardware.
