American Audio has introduced a classic-style rotary mixer - the DX-5R Rotary Mixer. A 4-channel rack-mount mixer, the DX-5R features large ‘retro-look’ silver rotary knobs on each of its channels. Besides their retro appeal, they should also find favour with DJs who like the ‘authentic’ feel of turning a rotary dial, as opposed to linear faders, say American Audio.

In addition to rotary knobs, each of the DX-5R’s four channels has individual LED indicators. The highly-visible LEDs make it easy for DJs to manipulate channel settings in any environment. The DX-5R is also equipped with a large Master Volume rotary knob. Additionally, there’s a 4-band rotary EQ on the master level that controls bass, mid low, mid high and treble. It comes standard-equipped with a high-quality Feather Fader for smooth, quick crossfades, and offers Fader Q Start, when used with a compatible American Audio CD player (sold separately).

With 8 lines, 2 phono and 2 mics, the DX-5R offers flexibility for configuring equipment. Other features of the DX-5R include: separate balanced outputs (Master Outs, Booth Outs and Subwoofer Outs), adjustable subwoofer frequency control, and gain level knobs for each channel.
