I have purchased a used AETA Mix 2000, and I wasn't able to find any information on taperssection regarding the Aeta Mix 2000, so I figured that I would start this thread on it.
It supposedly uses the same transformer preamps that the EAA/AETA PSP-2 does. Instead of only 2 channels though, this offers 4. It also features a mid-side decoder and a slew of other features (see below).
The model I am receiving has the A/D converter upgrade that will output either 24/44.1 over spdif or 24/48 over AES/EBU. Not all models contain the A/D converter (it was an upgrade that you had to pay extra for).
I am really looking forward to trying this out in the field. As I learn more about it, and get a chance to play around with it, I will update this thread with links to recordings, etc....
Below is an excerpt from the website, and links to the owner's manual & specifications:
