The Studiomaster Trilogy 326 is a analog mixing console released by the British manufacturer Studiomaster in the mid 1990s. It features 20 mono mic/line channels and 4 mono mic/stereo line channels (providing up to 24 mic inputs and multiple auxiliary and group routings), powered by an external power supply. Between 1995 and 1998, Studiomaster expanded its mixer offerings. The Trilogy range was introduced, featuring low-profile mixers designed for professional applications in PA rental and bands, with models like the 166, 206, 326, and 406. These mixers offered features such as multiple auxiliary sends and flexible routing options. Yes, modern mixers with all the modern bells and whistles cannot compete with this dinosaur, but if your band is on a budget or if you are just looking for an old skool approach to doing things in your studio or rehearsal space, then this mixer will give you exactly what you're looking for without leaving a hole in your wallet!
