RDM20

Rotary DJ Mixer

CHF 2'190 excl. VAT & delivery

Add to Cart

The RDM20 is our fully analog two channel rotary DJ mixer, with one phono and two line inputs on each channel. For your mixing pleasure we've developed two different three band isolator-banks and built them into the RDM20. One is set on the master and there's another one on each channel. While the master isolator is quite steep and raw, the character of the channel isolator is more soft and smooth. You can totally release your creativity with the combination of those two isolators and it's big fun to mess around with these knobs – believe us!

The RDM20 has two balanced outputs (House XLR, Booth Jack), as well as a separate steady recording output (cinch). The linear power supply unit is built in, no extra mains adapter needed. Analog VU-meters are indicating the level of the master.

TTW10

Turntable Weight

CHF 89 (per piece) excl. VAT & delivery

Add to Cart

The TTW10 is our turntable weight which combines two needful features for every vinyl DJ:
A disc stabilizer and an adapter for 7“ records.

Our handcrafted turntable weights work either for 12“ and 7“ records.

Our turntable weights feature a smart mechanism: The 7“ adapter inside the weight is moveable- as soon as you put the weight on a 7", the adapter will fall down through the big hole of the vinyl. Your record is now centered and stabilized by the TTW10. If you place the kit on a 12“ record, the adapter will remain in the rear position and stabilizes your warped records. A sticky rubber mat on the bottom side protects your vinyl and allows you to control the record in a very direct way. The TTW10 comes in a neat printed box with a linen bag to take it out to your gigs.

Anodized aluminium body with a solid brass core.
