When Stanton set out to design its new SMX-401 3- Channel DJ Mixer, compro- mise was not an option. This 10" professional mixer boasts a wide range of intu- itive controls, superb sound, and high-quality components including a genuine Penny & Giles crossfader. Whether mixing house, tech- no or trance from vinyl or CDs, the SMX-401 has got all the bases covered, thanks to 3 phono inputs, 6 line inputs and 2 mic inputs with independent EQ. Each channel sports gain control, bright input LED meters, a 3-band EQ with full Kill capability, as well as Pan knobs. The SMX-401 also sports a full-featured Cue section which includes PFL, Cue Pan, and dual head- phone outputs for tag-team mixing. Professional DJs will immediately appreciate the SMX-401-šs 3-band Kill switches for channels 1 and 3, conveniently located right next to the crossfader. For creative mixing, the SMX-401 also offers an Effects loop with 1/4" Send and Return jacks. This mixer is rounded out with profes- sional balanced Master outputs, separate Booth output, and a user- replaceable fader design.
