SUPERIOR SOUND TECHNOLOGY
Stanton's revolutionary Superior Sound Technology (SST-„˘) also gives the M.505 exceptional sound quality with audio
specifications rivaling mixers costing up to four times as much. Developed from the ground up by a team of seasoned audio
professionals who have designed world class professional recording studio and broadcast mixers, working hand in hand
with experienced and respected DJs, SST-„˘ delivers a dynamic range better than 110 dB through ultra low noise circuitry
with a lower total harmonic distortion (THD) than other mixers in its' class. Glass epoxy PC boards, surface mount tech
nology, and faders that don't bleed add to the superior construction standards. This equates to a cleaner, more transpar
ent sound, allowing your music to be heard the way it was meant to.
Were proud to bring you the new look, feel and sound of Stanton.
