Here, Wunder Audio continues to cherish the proud tradition of handcrafted excellence. Over a dozen specialists apply their trade in creating the Wunderbar; cable builders alongside machinist, electronic engineers alongside cabinetmakers. All are world-class craftspeople whose purpose is the realization of the personal vision of the individual Wunder Audio customer. The Console can be loaded with the PEQ2, the new PEQ4 four-band EQ, or any combination of the two in 12 to 60 channels, or D-sub from 8 to 56 channels. A "Fully Balanced Busing Scheme" is the heart of the Wunderbar, buffering the ground out of the equation. This results in significant increase in dynamic range while lowering noise substantially. There are transformer balanced direct outputs and inserts on all channels. The Stereo Bus champions The Wunderbahn and has three Stereo Amplifier choices: Wunder, 1272, and the 312.

The Routing Modules

The 1046 Routing modules are fully transformer balanced Class-A Discrete. Click to expand/contract text

Each channel has a monitor fader that is flip-able with the main channel fader. Also featured are six buses with illuminated switches, four auxes that are switchable pre or post, Pan Defeat, 48V phantom, and "Opto Silent" mute. If the console is short loaded, the Routing modules will act as transformer-balanced inputs.

The Master Section

The Master Section includes a Control Room Monitor for monitoring six stereo sources, including buses. Mono, Dim, Mute, and Solo Clear are on large illuminated switches. Click to expand/contract text

Select from 3 sets of speakers or a headphone amp with separate volume control. The internal routing of subgroups to the stereo bus eliminates external patching, sparing monitor faders. The Eight-fader monitor section includes solo, pan, and placement into any of the buses. Talkback into any bus/aux is either latching, momentary, or remote. The master section has a large Illuminated master PFL, AFL Solo switch with Solo level.

Other features include: P&G 100mm Conductive Plastic Faders, thick hardwood end-cheeks in an unlimited choice of hardwoods, and full leather armrest.
