    it also has a master gain screw on the back panel that can be adjusted. old school styles, on my mixer you can change all that in the utility.

    I took off off the gain caps from the house mixer and twirled them forwards so DJ's would be running tracks @ 12 o' clock and think they were @ 3 o' clock cranking it. None ever Realized this was the case and it kept things much safer.

    How did you manage this? Did those gain pots have symmetrical shafts?

    Thats what i was thinking. Having a fader for the master rather than a knob seems to be the exception rather than the rule with most quality mixers (Denon, Pioneer, Vestax etc etc).

    Yeah, on their FF series.

    Very cheeky :P Although still leaves the full range of travel, so at least you're not screwing over people with low-level outputs.

    PM series ... it was back 15+ years ago. Still probably one of the best sounding mixers out there and being modular it was a dream if any work needed to be done - even powered on you could replace an entire channel.

    Now that IS retro :P

    Only downside to the Formula Sound stuff (the FSM and PM ranges anyway) is that there aren't any per-channel VU meters. The PM series has a clipping indicator though which is something at least.
