MODEL 1 is a mixer designed especially for the professional DJ who performs live, providing new creative possibilities that allow for truly different performances. It is a mixer whose design is the result of the collaboration of famous DJ Richie Hawtin and engineer Andy Rigby-Jones, and which offers uncompromising build quality, intuitive controls and fully analog circuitry that delivers beautiful, warm sound. MODEL 1 is a 100% analog mixer, offering technology usually only found in the best studio consoles, such as a fully balanced mix bus, zero crossing detection that guarantees impeccable filter and master EQ operation. , and differential high voltage supply lines. Its unique configuration offers six fully equipped input channels, and two stereo returns with a more basic configuration. It has a multitude of features that are not common in any other comparable device, such as the drive control located on the preamplifier, a hybrid filter/sweep EQ, a double pre-listening system, a system to link two mixers and a fully balanced connector for the system. Tascam DB25. In short, it is a product of the highest level, intended for professionals with exquisite palates. 2 Stereo Sends The two AUX controls send the channel signal to the auxiliary mix outputs, allowing the use of external effects processors or, in some applications, local monitors. AUX1 can be pre or post fader, while AUX2 has been configured internally as a post fader. 2 Stereo Returns These are two basic stereo channels, which can be used as return inputs for effect processors and other sources. Each return has a TRIM control that allows adjustment of the return signal, a DRIVE input circuit, and routing for pre-listening A and B, which allows two DJs to work simultaneously. Each of the returns also features metering for signal level control, a rotary level fader to adjust the amount of mix, and combined routing of Return 1-2 to the low cut EQ and master filter. 3 high-quality phono preamplifiers 3 very high-quality turntable inputs, optimized for use in clubs, so as to minimize the tonal imbalance between the sound of vinyl and digital audio and eliminate very low-frequency acoustic feedback. For added flexibility, each of the phono inputs has its own ground connection for the turntable. Studio-quality faders Features specially designed 60mm TKD faders. These dual-track faders have been chosen to ensure long life and extremely smooth operation, with maximum precision.EQ Precision Sculpting SCULPT is a bell-type swept semi-parametric filter, which has two controls: FREQ, which sets the center frequency and CUT/BOOST which adjusts the gain or attenuation at the selected frequency. The cut/highlight level is asymmetrical; maximum boost is limited to +8dB, while cut extends to -20dB. Sculpt offers a wide Q and a frequency range that covers almost seven octaves. Contouring High Pass and Low Pass Filters As the name implies, these two controls allow you to “profile” the frequency range of the audio signal. It is a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter with a low Q factor that have been designed to sweep across the entire frequency range. Analog Clipping The DRIVE control is a unique feature, present on each of its inputs, that allows the user to adjust the level at which the channel's preamplifier begins to clip the input signal, creating harmonic distortion that can be used as a creative resource. Double pre-listening system The mixer has two independent pre-listening systems. Cue A directs the signal to the right side of the monitoring headphones, while Cue B directs the signal to the left side. This double pre-listening system makes it possible for two DJs to work simultaneously, in "Back2Back" configurations, so that each one can select an independent channel to monitor without interfering with the other. Mixer Link This system allows several mixers to be linked, either to be used by two or more DJs, or as a method to expand the number of available channels. When interconnected, the mixers share a common balanced mix that is sent to both the PA system and the booth monitors. Additionally, the two cue systems are combined to allow interactivity between multiple DJs. Balanced Mix Bus Features a fully balanced main mix bus, typically only found on very high-end studio consoles, offering over 110 dB dynamic range, better hum rejection, and lower noise and crosstalk. Main Resonant High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters The main filtering consists of a high-pass filter (HPF), a low-pass filter (LPF), and a resonance control (RES) to adjust the sharpness of the high-pass filter. The Master filter can be used to perform frequency sweeps, or as a frequency preset to instantly cut high or low frequencies on any channel routed through the filter. Signals can be routed to MF via the filter selection switch included in each channel. Three-band master EQ The mixer features a three-band master EQ with asymmetric cut and boost (-20/+6dB) that can be used as a live effect, as well as a frequency correction tool.Two-band EQ for the cabin It incorporates a two-band equalizer that allows the user to adjust the frequency response of the monitors in the cabin. 100% analog It has intuitive controls, with very smooth and uniform action, associated with totally analog circuitry, which achieves a clear and crystalline sound. Zero-Cross Detection Circuitry All internal routing utilizes the uniquely designed zero-Cross detection system, which helps minimize noise produced by audio switching in channel filter selection, master filter on/off, and activation/deactivation of the master EQ. This system allows these features to be used quickly and intuitively as effects during live performances. External Power Supply The mixer is powered by an external 24V 90W universal power supply. Internally, the 24V supplied by the external power supply is converted to +/- 20V for the analog power lines, using high-frequency switching, giving Model 1 the highest dynamic headroom a professional mixer can count on. Dual power supply Model 1 offers the possibility of being powered by two power supplies. Offered only by the best live mixing and recording consoles, this capability offers a greater degree of security by allowing the mixer to be powered simultaneously from a second power source. In situations such as festivals, each power supply can be powered from separate phases; In the event that one phase fails, the other power supply will switch to powering the mixer. Inputs and outputs D-Sub Model 1 features two fully balanced TASCAM DB25 inputs, capable of receiving 8 stereo channels, allowing quick connection to external sound cards, and adding flexibility in fixed installations in clubs. It also has a fully balanced TASCAM DB25 output to send the master, auxiliary sends 1 and 2 and Cue B channels through a single connector. Recording output on the front panel On the front panel, and above the master section, a recording output has been arranged, in 3.5 mm TRS jack format that takes the post master EQ signal as a pre-fader recording output. Its nominal level is -2dBwhich helps minimize noise produced by audio switching in channel filter selection, master filter on/off, and master EQ on/off.
