Sujet de la discussion Rodec Scratchbox
The high end mixer market is about to get another product to shake things up a little. Rodec have announced their new 2 channel featured-filled battle mixer - the Scratchbox.

Lamont from www.realtablist.com has been involved in testing the Scratchbox and has much praise to heap upon it. If you're reading this Lamont, share the knowledge.

I'll let the spec speak for itself...

FEATURES

10 inch width - 9 units - mixing panel.
Frontpanel in elegant Titanium paint.
Aluminium anodised smooth scratchplate, no obstructions by any paint of text print on the panel.
2 Handles at the front to carry the mixer and to avoid unwanted moving of the buttons.
Same height as Technics SL1210-MKII turntable.
4 Input channels:
- 2 Phono inputs on gold plated RCA connectors.
- 4 Line inputs CH1 + CH2 + CH3/FX-return + CH4/Session/Backtape-in.
- 1 Microphone input on COMBO (XLR-JACK) connector.
Outputs:
- 2 Master outputs on RCA connectors.
- Symmetrical output with XLR-connectors on master 1.
- 1 Aux/FX-send output.
- 1 Record/aux/session output on RCA connectors.
- 1 Strong head-phones output on JACK (6,35mm) and mini-JACK (3,2mm).
Control functions channel 1 and 2:
- Channel 1-2 reverse switch.
- Phono-Line input select switch.
- Rotative level control per channel.
- Triple tone control with short faders, for very fast manipulating of the audio spectrum (+10dB/ -21dB), with 90 degrees turnable buttons.
- Aux/FX-send push-button for routing the signal to external effects-units.
- Short balance fader.
- CUT-switch with very low operating force. Can be used in 3 modes, momentary-CUT, latching-CUT and double-speed-CUT. Can be placed in 8 positions.
- Easy slide 45mm fader with specially designed for high speed operating button.
- Channel fader reverse switch with LED indication at the front.
- Channel fader curve control with potentiometer at the front.
- Easy slide 45mm crossfader to fade between channel 1 and 2.
- Crossfader reverse switch with LED indication at the front.
- Crossfader curve control with potentiometer at the front.
- PFL ON/OFF button
- PFL select fader, to create a mixed signal of channel 1 and 2 in the headphones
All volume controls on channel 1 and 2 are done by microcontroller controlled VCA. The microcontroller works with fuzzy-logic-software, with a clock frequency of 20MHz. This fuzzy-logic-software modifies itself depending on the position of the different controls and depending on the method of operating of the user of the mixing panel.
The channel faders, crossfader and CUT-switches can easily be replaced via frontpanel after lifting of the scratchplate.
Control functions channel 3:
- Mic-Line input select switch.
- Rotative level control.
- 0dB LED to adjust the level.
- Dual band equalizer with rotative potmeters.
- PFL ON/OFF button.
- Routing switch to route the signal to channel 1 or 2 or directly to the mix.
- Short channel fader for fast operation.
Channel 4: - Rotative level control.
Soft touch rotative knobs for better grip on all rotative potmeters.
Mode switch to select mono or stereo operation of the mixing panel, ideal for working with records with different left and right tracks.
Two master outputs with rotative volume control (also useable as monitor or booth output).
Two bright VU-meters to show the levels of the inputs or the mixed signal.
Normal and upside down text print at the back panel to facilitate connection
Soft rubber anti-slide buttons at the bottom of the mixer.
Power switch on the back of the panel, to avoid accidentally switching off the panel.
External power supply, to reduce disturbances.

OPTIONS

Désolé mais elle n'est pas encore sur rodec.com car elle ne sort quand septembre !
Domage mais elle est pas top niveau estétique les bouton font jouer mais c'est de la qualité malgré l'aparence !
14
Ouais c comme la pdx koi faut pas ce fié a l'apparence
15

Hors sujet : C'est clair que les pdx j'aime pas le look (en noir par contre j'aime bien) mais faut avouer que pour le scratch elles sont supèrieur au MKII mais bon mes MKII pour faire ma tembouille me sufisent



Sinon vous-avez remarquer que le cut switch possède 3 reglages !

Citation : You can use the transform switch like 0/1 (mute/signal), the switch stays in the position you put it in.
The double speed cut is 1/0/1, (signal/mute/signal)
The other mode is the spring, the fader bounces back from 0 to 1 (mute/signal)



C'est terrible pour ceux qui aiment leur bon vieux switch ! Fallait y penser !

En plus les faders existe en classique, P&G et en optifade de chez Cliff, otion aux choix selon le budget et ça c'est sympa pour celui qui n'a pas les nutes pour se payer les optifades , bien sur elle est upgradable !

Moi franchement je la trouve :aime:. Enfin chacun ses gouts hein !
17
La pdx moche?
18

Hors sujet : En grise la pdx c'est bof mais en noir elle pète !

19

Hors sujet : Ba moi j'aime bien les deux en fait ... avec une preference pour la noire. Je pense qu'au bout d'un moment on s'y fait de toute façon, meme si on aime pas.

20

Hors sujet : L'important c'est ses capacité à encaisser les scratches, le look...



Franchement je suis pas scratcheur invétéré mais j'aimerai bien l'essayer j'ai déjà une rodec 180mkIII et c'est franchement ce qui ce fait de plus pro niveau fabriquation et son je me répète mais rodec le mérite vraiment !
