Seem Audio was a small Norwegian company making high-end analog equipment by hand, primarily for European broadcasting from the 1960s to the early 2000’s. The Seeport was their last flagship compact console, built to a very high standard: Lundahl transformers throughout, Penny & Giles long-throw faders, Wima caps, linkable FET limiters on the master, and so on. These were expensive little beasts when new. I’ve been through a good amount of beautiful small mixers and these are special (I have another one I use as my studio hub here). Mic preamps, EQs and general sound and quality are a little bit similar to a Studer 961, but they have their own thing going on. The general vibe is open, clear, and warm, with a little bit character/attitube in the EQ. Build quality is off the charts. These are starting to pop up a little more and get the credit they deserve, most notably and recently in @hainbach101 ‘s awesome rig.

This one has been cleaned, checked, and assembled inspired here in the shop, with the layout inspired by the API “THE BOX” concept. Specifically 2 premium mic/line channels and 6 standard mic/line channels for tracking purposes (as well as 8 mono line-level analog summing inputs), and another 8 stereo modules (16 inputs) intended purely as summing inputs from a DAW. The 8 mono mic/line channels are modified for direct outs, which come out the back of the console on a d-sub with a custom breakout snake. There is also a full monitor section with an external monitor input, another pair of line inputs on the master channel, everything you need in a beautiful little hub for a hybrid (digital/analog) studio setup.

-2 premium mic/line input strips with direct outs, 2 sweepable eq bands, 2 position HPF, phase, switchable +48V phantom power
-6 standard mic/line input strips with direct outs, 1 widely sweepable eq band, 2 position HPF, phase, switchable +48V phantom power
-8 stereo line input strips with 2 fixed EQ bands, sum-to-mono switch
-AB master return pair (2 more inputs)
-separate monitor section with level control and external inputs to monitor
-onboard high-quality linear power supply - checked and rebuilt as necessary
-total of 26 inputs to the summing bus
-stereo bus features Lundahl transformers and linkable FET limiters
