RICHIE HAWTIN UNVEILS NEW PLAYDIFFERENTLY MODEL 1 MIXER

The brand’s debut product offers a new level of uncompromising quality and intuitive functionality combined with hand-crafted British design

Over the past two years, Richie Hawtin and highly-regarded British product developer Andy Rigby-Jones have combined their joint expertise and unique vision to develop new innovative instruments for DJs and the electronic music market. PLAYdifferently’s first announcement is the MODEL 1 mixer, which offers uncompromising quality, sonic performance and intuitive functionality.

Here’s what some of our favorite DJs had to say about the new gear:

“From unparalleled craftsmanship and revolutionary design, to incomparable features and sound quality, MODEL 1 is a game-change moment in the DJ mixer arena.” – Dubfire

“MODEL 1 sounds round, phat, and has the sound signature that I’ve been looking for. I call it The Beast.” –Loco Dice

“Finally the DJ world has a mixer that really brings people together. This is a whole new ballgame because you actually “play differently” when performing back2back sets.” – Chris Liebing

“Its time to accept that DJing has come a long long way over the past 25 years and introduce a Mixer that lives up to the expectations of the modern electronic music performer. A mixer more akin to an instrument with intuitive controls, uncompromising quality and features that can unlock a new wave of creativity.” – Richie Hawtin

The Mixer offers 6 full featured stereo channels, 2 stereo Send & Return channels, 2 Mix outputs, and Master & Booth EQ.

OTHER Features include a per channel Hybrid Filter EQ & Input overdrive control, Master Resonant Filter (with both HPF and LPF controls), a Dual headphone Cue system, Tascam DB25 connector system, Dual Mixer linking capability and a Dual external PSU option.
