July 26, 2000

(Click for a close-up)

Stanton presents the SK-2F, (SK-2 mixer with Focus Fader). The Focus Fader is a true optical crossfader, which was designed by DJ Focus. This true optical crossfader is the world’s first to be used in a DJ mixer, and has numerous advantages over regular faders, such as:

  • Extra long life (no contacts or graphite material to wear out since it is a true optical fader)
  • Super sharp cutoff
  • Virtually no fader resistance
  • Super quiet (no more static or crackly noise)
  • No bleeding

Besides the fader, some other features differentiates this mixer from the original SK-2, such as:

  • Input Meter: The SK-2F features a new bar graph LED meter, similar to those found on high end studio equipment.
  • Cosmetics: The SK-2F features an all silver body with a blue anodized aluminum Protekt panel (double front panel where all screws are hidden underneath but the faders and line switches are still user-replaceable).
  • Headphone mute: The SK-2F features a headphone mute function, as found on the SK-1 and SK-5. The switch is located just below the LED meter - within the acrylic display. This new feature was also designed by DJ Focus. It was placed in a central location between the cross and channel faders for on-the-fly muting of the headphones. Positioning it within the acrylic display does not get in the way of the performance.
