Hey, if you can build a console to looks as pretty as it sounds, why not? The Tonelux Series 28 analog mixing console ain't cheap — the configuration seen above goes for $50k — but at least designer Paul Wolff keeps aesthetics in mind when envisioning his mixing desk designs. Dig those bamboo sides!

Of course, he also packs the Series 28 console with premium ToneLux preamps and EQ modules, vintage-style metering, and pro options like ShadowMix flying faders. Paul gave us a quick tour of the console's design features.

Also at the show were the new ToneLux V4 500-series rack chassis. These clever designs can be coupled with an extender module for a bit more flexibility than you might get out of another lunchbox rack.
