PD Model 1 - Whos got it or getting it?

Such an amazing mixer and I would love one, but damn at $2200 usd, I cant justify the price. When it comes down to around $1200 Ill get one. :-p

i'm really tempted. the one thing i haven't bought yet is a mixer. currently using an audio10 and controllers my main issue is that pretty much all clubs here and events use the xone92 so probably what i'll get... love the filters tho.

It looks great, but if no clubs have it...

I watched the video and don't quite understand what is really different that a DB 92 for example ?

The EQ/filter system is completely different. Instead of 3-band EQ, you have a LPF, HPF and a parametric EQ, so you can start cutting out or boosting frequencies. Each of the six main channels has an overdrive function which gives some sounds a really meaty crunch. It has extra-long faders taken from studio mixers.

I got to meet Richie the other day to talk about it a bit, when Mark and I headed over to University of Huddersfield for his guest lecture.

That's a "Mixers Mixer". There are very few DJ's out there that will (or will want to) be able to use it to its full potential.

Great mixer, maybe one day, congrats

Actually it's a semi-parametric EQ, great mixer anyway, would love one.

Sound quality wise would be interesting to hear. I did a vinyl transfer through my Xone 92 and then again bypassing. It sounded better through the mixer. I never had that with previous mixers I've owned. I wonder how good the M1 is.

I like that it has lo & hi pass filters for each channel, and then you have the master one with resonance that any channel can allocate it to.

I believe the channel faders on the M1 are not all floppy like the 92. The 92 does infuriate me sometimes; trying to do a smooth fade can take some effort, and on occasions I've knocked one resulting in a sudden dip in level.

It's not a mass produced item, so much of the price is for that and the development. Would be nice if it sounded as good as a Urei I played on in the 90's; that sounded so fat and warm with great depth.
