Most home studio setups have one thing in common: not enough desk space. The Softube Console 1 Compact is the answer to that very specific prayer — a full-featured, hardware mixing control surface that squeezes Channel Mk III-level performance into half the footprint.
Built for engineers who refuse to compromise on sound just because their studio doubles as a guest bedroom, Console 1 Compact brings the tactile, hands-on experience of a world-class mixing desk to spaces where a world-class mixing desk would simply not fit. With touch-sensitive potentiometers, a Nordic Night Sky anodized aluminum finish, and deep DAW integration with no mapping required, this is the kind of gear that makes you forget you ever mixed with a mouse.
There's a reason mixing engineers have spent decades reaching for SSL, Chandler, and Tube-Tech consoles. The sound they produce is the sound of records. Console 1 Compact gives you those exact emulations — in a box that fits on your desk without requiring you to sell any furniture.
There's a reason mixing engineers describe reaching for hardware as "natural" — because it is. Console 1 Compact puts every EQ band, compressor parameter, and dynamics control under a dedicated knob. No mousing around. No digging through menus. Just hands on the desk and ears on the music, the way it was always supposed to work.
Console 1 Compact looks like it belongs in a professional facility, because the materials and build quality genuinely belong there. The anodized aluminum casing in Softube's signature Nordic Night Sky finish is robust, premium, and — let's be honest — absolutely gorgeous on a desk.
Console 1 Compact is the kind of gear that changes how you work, not just what you work with. Pair it with Softube's Flow Studio for a complete hands-on setup that covers broad creative strokes, detailed mixing, and final mastering, all without ever needing to reach for a mouse. Whether this is your main studio unit or your go-anywhere travel rig, Compact slots into your workflow and stays there. Pack it up, plug it in, and everything you've set up will be exactly where you left it — because great mixing shouldn't have to wait.
Console 1 Compact works with all major DAWs, including Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Cubase, FL Studio, LUNA, Reaper, Nuendo, Bitwig Studio, Cakewalk, and Samplitude. No MIDI mapping or template setup required — just plug in and start mixing.
Every Console 1 Compact ships with the Core Mixing Suite, Softube's own channel strip software covering preamp, EQ, compression, transient shaping, and drive. The hardware also supports Console 1-ready plugins from Plugin Alliance, Brainworx, FabFilter, UAD, and more, letting you build a fully customized console.
Console 1 Compact delivers the same core functionality and mixing capabilities as Console 1 Channel Mk III in roughly half the physical size. It's the ideal choice for producers and engineers who need a powerful control surface without the desk real estate to match.
Yes, its compact footprint and zero-mapping DAW integration make it particularly well-suited to home studio setups. It brings the tactile, hands-on mixing experience of a hardware console to spaces where a full-size desk simply isn't an option.
Absolutely. Console 1 Compact is Softube's most portable Console 1 unit to date, with a durable aluminum build that travels well and a plug-and-play setup that works wherever you land.
