A new version of the legendary Model 1 mixer, designed by Richie Hawtin, the Model 1.4, arrives at microFusa.

With the MODEL 1, PlayDifferently reached the pinnacle of pure analog DJ mixer design. Now, they bring us the same performance as the MODEL 1 in an ultra-compact 4-channel design, perfect for use in home studios or as the ultimate analog mixer for touring.

Designed by legends Andy Rigby-Jones and Richie Hawtin, in collaboration with artists, clubs, and engineers, the MODEL 1.4 features the build quality, precision, and distinctive details that made the MODEL 1 a world-class product. You can use the MODEL 1.4 on its own or pair it with the MODEL1 using its unique link function to provide an unparalleled 10-channel live mixing experience.

2 Stereo Sends

The two AUX controls send the channel signal to the Aux mix outputs for use with external effect processors or, in some applications, local monitors. AUX 1 offers PRE or POST FADE, while AUX 2 is internally configured as post-fader.

2 High-Performance Phono Preamps

Two high-performance turntable inputs, optimized for the club environment to minimize tonal imbalance between vinyl and digital audio and eliminate sub-frequency feedback. Each phono input has its own individual turntable ground connection for greater flexibility.

2 Stereo Returns

Two basic stereo channels for use as return inputs from external effect processors or other sources. Each return features TRIM to adjust the return signal, an input DRIVE circuit, and CUE routing for both Cue A and Cue B. Each return also includes metering for visual feedback of the signal level, a rotary LEVEL fader to adjust the mix amount, and a combined return 1 -2 low-cut EQ and master filter routing.

Studio-Grade Faders

Custom 60 mm TKD faders. These dual-rail faders have been carefully selected to ensure a long service life and smooth operation, and they offer a weighted feel for greater precision.

Precision Sculpting EQ

SCULPT is a semi-parametric swept bell filter consisting of two controls: FREQ, which sets the center frequency, and CUT / BOOST, which adjusts the gain or attenuation at this frequency. The cut/boost level is asymmetrical; the maximum boost is limited to 8dB, while the cut extends to -20dB. Sculpt has a wide Q and a frequency range covering nearly seven octaves.

High-Pass and Low-Pass Filter Contouring

As the name suggests, these two controls allow you to "contour" the frequency range of the audio signal. They consist of low-Q high-pass and low-pass filters designed not to add color to the sound as they are swept through their frequency range.

Analog Overdrive

A unique feature on each input, the DRIVE control. This control allows the user to adjust the level at which the channel preamp clips the input signal, thereby creating harmonic distortion as a creative effect.

DualCue

Two independent Cue systems, A and B. Cue A routes to the right-side headphone monitor, and Cue B routes to the left-side headphone monitor. The DualCue system makes it much easier for two DJs to play together on the mixer in "Back2Back" setups, as each can select a separate channel to monitor without interfering with the other. This feature also helps DJs communicate with each other in a smooth and natural way.

Mixer Link

A system that allows multiple mixers to be linked, either for use with two or more artists or as a way to expand the number of channels. When connected together, the mixers share a common balanced mix that feeds the PA and Booth monitors. In addition, the two Cue systems are linked, allowing for interactive signaling between multiple artists.

Three-Band Master EQ

Three-band master EQ with asymmetrical cut and boost, -20 / 6dB, which can be used as a performance effect as well as a frequency correction tool.
