The ToolMod Principle

ToolMod uses the same components, circuitry and design principles as the large format mixing consoles of the 5MT series and the Integrator modular audio devices; however, ToolMod uses no fancy appearance, massive knobs, heavy weighted mounting frames and cover sheets made of stainless steel, or other accessories that only concern appearance and price but not the sound performance and the technical qualities. We are using the same components, semiconductors, switches, pots, relays, control knobs, etc. that are used for the 5MT mixing consoles and the other members of the 'Tool' series. This principle results in the appearance of an old school console channel, a very attractive price, an outstanding performance with + 30 dBu headroom and 120 dB dynamic range throughout the entire ToolMod system and lots of uncommon features that you will barely find somewhere else.

If you are looking for fancy appearance, heavy weight, and high prices, you're definitely wrong on this page. If sound performance and outstanding technical qualities at an affordable price is that what you are looking for, you are supposed to take a closer look.
