Coming soon, the OTO Bébé Chérie is a 6-input stereo analogue mixer designed for dealing with mini-jack signals.
With its integrated master bus compressor and Bliss enhancer, it’s a great centerpiece for your electronic music production setup.
What makes the OTO Bébé Chérie different?
As you’d expect from the small Parisian designer, OTO machines, it’s certainly a niche piece of gear. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not versatile within its specific playing field.
For starters, channels 1 through 4 have switchable mono/stereo operating modes, 34 dB of gain with asymmetrical soft clipping, and tilt EQ controls.
The remaining two channels have gain selection switches to flip between 0 and +10 dB, while they also have two-band Baxandall EQ.
In addition, the master bus channel has a single knob compressor with a fixed 3:1 ratio, and a Bliss high-frequency enhancer for adding shimmer to the overall mix.
Main control panel
Rear panel
On the rear panel, the terminals are labeled upside down for easy legibility from above, and there’s an alt output next to the main output that gives you more options for monitoring or using a separately processed submix.
Up top, you have the individually controlled headphones output and unique minimalist metering for the channels, master, and gain reduction level.
Internally, the Bébé Chérie has been designed with the utmost care using Audiophile film capacitorswithin the EQ section, THAT Corporation VCAs, and ALPS pots.
