Stanton Introduces SA8 DJ Mixer

(Click for a close-up)

The SA8 owes its inspiration to the creative mind of DJ Focus. This studio-style scratch mixer has been designed to function similar to a multi-channel production console for both the live artist, taking into account DJ's working within a band context, and the production artist. At the suggestion of DJ Focus, the SA8 features Individual Rec/FX and Direct outputs, so that each signal can be sent separately though the four direct outputs located at the rear of the mixer.

Top of the line custom-designed Penny & Giles (P&G) cross fader and line faders are installed on this mixer, offering three-way adjustable curve control. In addition, Stanton has included an extra cross fader, the newly redesigned CFF2 Focus Fader, to fulfil the preferences of any scratch DJ.

Look closely to appreciate the carefully designed layout by DJ Focus. Never before has so much scrutiny been put into the ergonomics and layout of a scratch mixer, with each feature carefully positioned according to a scratch DJ's natural hand movement (for instance the Gain.) He also designed the one-off knobs and faders, molded to fit the DJ's fingers.

Another innovation is the ability for the DJ to listen to his scratches in the headphone (via the Post Fader cue) while using the crossfader as normal. And finally, one last DJ friendly innovation, the Autocue feature eliminates the need for touching the cue pan (switching from Ch.1 to Ch.2.)

Additional features of the SA8 include:

• Adjustable Rumble Filter, which allows the DJ to eliminate (or add) low end frequencies
• Booth Output
• OS2 Optical Switch (for noise-free transforms)
• Mono/Stereo Switch per channel
• New screwless faceplate
• Phono/Line/FX Toggle switch
• Multiple outputs: 2-RCA (unbalanced), 2-1/4" Direct Out (balanced), 1-1/4" Master (balanced), Plus FX Send (1/4")
• Multiple Inputs: Two RCA (Phono), Two RCA (Line), RCA (Aux), Plus FX Return (1/4")
• Program Reverse
• Two dual headphone outputs (2-1/4" and 2-1/8" minijack) with heaphone mute
