The PLAYdifferently – MODEL1 is a 100% analogue 6-channel performance mixer that sets new standards with its uncompromising build quality and precise sound processing. Developed in collaboration between Andy Rigby-Jones and Richie Hawtin, this DJ mixer impresses with its warm analogue signal processing and intuitive, tactile controls. Equipped with six fully configurable input channels and two unique stereo returns, the MODEL1 offers features unmatched in a mixer of this compact design. Highlights include drive controls for input preamps, hybrid filter/EQ with semi-parametric bell filters, the innovative mixer-link system for connecting multiple mixers, and fully balanced D-Sub DB25- connectors. The design incorporates advanced features such as independent booth and 3-band master EQs, two monitoring cues, high-quality phono preamps, and individual high- and low-pass filters on each channel. Another standout feature is the assignable master filter, offering maximum flexibility for any performance. Technically, the MODEL1 adheres to the standards of high-end studio consoles. With a fully balanced mix bus, zero-crossing detection for seamless filter and master EQ routing, and high-voltage power rails for increased headroom, the mixer delivers exceptional sound quality and reliability. The PLAYdifferently – MODEL1 is more than just a mixer – it is a professional performance instrument designed to meet the demands of discerning artists and sound enthusiasts. Ideal for live sets, studio applications, or high-end club environments, it establishes a new benchmark for analogue audio technology.
The PLAYdifferently - MODEL1 provides a dedicated drive control for each of the six channels. This unique feature allows you to adjust the level so that the channel preamp clips the input signal, creating harmonic distortion as a creative effect.
SCULPT is a semi-parametric bell filter and consists of two controllers. FREQ is used to set the center frequency and CUT/BOOST to set the gain or attenuation at that frequency. The level of CUT/BOOST is unbalanced; the maximum boost is limited to +8dB, while the cut is extended to -20dB. Sculpt has a wide Q and a frequency range that covers almost seven octaves.
Each of the six input channels has an associated control for a high and low pass filter. The filters are designed to add no color to the sound. Perfect for smooth transitions.
The PLAYdifferently - MODEL1 provides two independent cue systems, A and B. Cue A routes to the right headphone monitor and Cue B to the left headphone monitor. The dual cue system makes it much easier for two DJs to perform together at the mixing console in "Back2Back" configurations, as each can select a separate channel to listen to without disturbing the other. This feature also supports the smooth and natural transfer of DJs to each other.
The two AUX controls send the channel signal to the Aux Mix outputs for use with external effects processors. AUX 1 can be used either pre-fader or post-fader, while AUX 2 is internally set to post-fader.
Each return has a TRIM control to adjust the return signal, input DRIVE circuitry, and CUE routing to Cue A and Cue B. There is also metering for visual feedback of the signal level, a LEVEL knob for adjusting the mix level and a combined low-cut EQ and master filter routing.
The PLAYdifferently - MODEL1 is equipped with two fully balanced D-Sub DB25 inputs, which can receive all 8 stereo channels. These provide fast connections to external sound cards and additional flexibility for club installations.
The fully balanced D-Sub DB25 output is used to send Master, Aux 1 & 2 sends and Cue B channels from a single connector, also providing fast connections to external sound cards and additional flexibility for club installations.
