I had the chance to talk to Michael from @zaehl about the philosophy behind the new PM12. You can immediately feel that this mixer was designed from a very different perspective than most modern products.
Instead of chasing endless features, the focus is clearly on sound quality, ergonomics, and creating an instrument that feels inspiring to perform and mix on. The depth, clarity, and overall musicality of this thing are seriously impressive.
Definitely one of the standout pieces I experienced at @superbooth_berlin this year.
Full video now live on YouTube.

On the Zähl HM1, the front panel toggle switch selects between Headphone outputs, Preamp outputs, or both simultaneously.
Output Selection Details
• Toggle Switch: Located on the front panel, it lets you switch active signal routing.
• Headphone Outputs: Available via a 4-pin balanced XLR jack and a 6.3mm (1/4-inch) single-ended jack.
• Preamp (Line) Outputs: Routed to the rear panel (balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA direct/line outputs) to connect active speakers or external power amplifiers.
• Simultaneous Mode: You can set the toggle to run both headphone and preamp outputs at the same time.
A special feature is the possibility to adjust the stereo width. The perception of spatiality when listening with headphones differs from listening with loudspeakers. Instead of a cross-feed circuit, we use our stereo base width setting. It is based on the mid/side technique which is commonly used in professional studios. It provides additional benefits.
The stereo signal is converted into a mid signal (in simple terms, what L and R have in common) and a side signal (in simple terms, what distinguishes L and R). Summing mid and side signals in a 1:1 ratio will result in the original stereo signal. However, if you change the ratio between mid and side before summing them, you change the stereo base width. In our circuit, we leave the mid signal as it is. We only adjust the level of the side signal. If we lower the level, the stereo image becomes narrower, if we raise the level, the stereo image becomes wider.
Stereo Base control, what it does
You have direct access to the perception of spatiality. With a music programme which seems too “wide” in the headphones, one will turn the control one or two steps to the left. If you perceive a recording as too “dry” (centred), turn the control one or two steps to the right. The leftmost position is mono. This is the preferred setting for early stereo recordings, when individual instruments have been mixed to the extreme left or right - without spatial reference.
Professional users check the spatiality of their mix with this function and may discover possible problems, especially in the extreme positions.

Zähl HM1 Reference Headphones Mixing Amplifier. Five ways to use it →
The classic setup: your reference DAC into Input A and an analogue source, such as a turntable, into Input B. The HM1 drives your headphones.
Preamplifier in a minimalist system.
Connect active speakers or a power amp to the Line Outs and the HM1 becomes your preamp. For example: streamer into Input A, turntable with a phono stage into Input B, speakers on the Line Out.
Precision comparison. Two sources on Inputs A and B, with a level meter on the Line Out. Match their levels exactly with the volume controls, then flip between them using the channel on/off buttons for a truly fair A/B
2-channel mixing console
Blend any two sources into a brand-new mix, or cross-fade smoothly from one to the other. The mix is also sent to the Line Outs, ready to record.
Effect / Test. Send the A Thru output to an effects or processing unit and feed its return into Input B. The A and B volume controls set the balance between the original and processed signal. You can swap the effect for any device you want to test, match the levels, and compare using the on/off switches.
Hand-built in Germany in a limited run of 50 units per year.
