an outstanding DJ MIXER, which, due to its remarkable functions, provides maximum flexibility and impressive
performance. As with any new product, the development of this new PRO MIXER also meant a great deal of
responsibility. Throughout the entire planning and development phases, we kept youthe discerning end-user
and DJ, your requirements and your requests at the focal point of our considerations. Meeting your professional
expectations required a lot of effort and more than a few night shifts, but this is exactly the kind of challenge
that keeps us alive and kicking. Developing a new product always brings a large number of people together,
and its a great feeling when all involved can take pride in the results.
It is an important part of our philosophy to share our gratification with you, since youre the most important

without being hampered by budget constraints.
We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-grade devices at such unbelievably low prices. The
answer is quite simple: its you, our customers! Lots of satisfied customers means large sales volumes, which
in turn enables us to reduce production and logistics expenses. We believe its only fair to pass this benefit
back to youafter all, your success is our success!
