With the MODEL 1 (click here for info) PLAYdifferently has reached the pinnacle in the design of analog mixers intended for the world of clubbing and DJing. MODEL 1.4 is a compact version (368x248x111mm; 5KG weight) with 4 channels aimed at satisfying that segment of users who want to use it in the studio, at home or those who travel often and are looking for a high quality product, with a small footprint and a more accessible price; also excellent for those who already own a MODEL 1 and want to compose a 10-channel setup.
The PLAYdifferently MODEL 1.4 mixer was designed by engineer Andy Rigby-Jones in collaboration with the well-known DJ and producer Richie Hawtin , produced in England and marketed by a network of specialized retailers selected by Allen & Heath , who for Italy has chosen ALGAM EKO .
PLAYdifferently MODEL 1.4 is a 4-channel mixer - two of which (CH2 and CH3) are equipped with efficient and quality phono pre-amplification (RIAA) - equipped with two sends, two stereo returns and two MIX outputs. Each channel features the special equalization/filtering system that made MODEL 1 famous, based on two independent filters , a low pass and a high pass, and a semi-parametric equalizer with a wide camber that allows you to intervene on the medium range thanks to the two rotary controls for frequency (70Hz/7kHz) and asymmetric gain (cut/boost) (+8/-20dB). The vertical faders for managing the volume of the individual channels are TKD double-slide faders with 60mm travel of "studio" quality. Each channel has a dedicated meter consisting of 10 LEDs.
Model 1.4 uses the same pure analog circuitry as the flagship model in the PLAYdifferently catalog, which uses technologies and components usually found in high-end studio consoles: from fully balanced buses to zero-crossing detectors, for immediate and artifact-free filtering and routing when activating and using the various filters and equalizers. In addition to the Trim (gain) potentiometer, on each channel you will find a " Drive " rotary control for signal saturation that can be used both in the music production phases and during a live set given the harmonic distortion induced by the saturation of the feedback-type circuit, which is a source of possible creative effects.
The Aux potentiometers allow you to send the signal of the individual channels to the two stereo Send outputs (Aux 1 and Aux 2) available on 1/4" Jack connectors, therefore to the input of any external effects processors, or for particular monitoring situations. Aux 1 can be configured on each channel in pre or post fader mode using the appropriate buttons; Aux 2 is set internally in post fader mode and can be varied using an internal configuration to follow the settings of Aux 1.
The PLAYdifferently MODEL 1.4 mixer is also equipped with two stereo inputs for as many return channels to which we can connect the outputs of external multi-effects or other sources. These two channels, located on the left of the dashboard, are equipped with TRIM and Drive controls, a Level rotary potentiometer for volume management, a button for sending to pre-listening and a 4-LED meter for visual monitoring of the level. Both Return channels can be addressed via a special switch at the input to the Master Filter.
The Master Filter is a filtering section applicable to one or more channels of the mixer, which can be addressed to it by means of specific switches of the same name. In the Master Filter we find a high-pass filter with cutoff and resonance controls and a low-pass filter. This filtering section can be used for the classic "sweep" effects (rotation of the cut-off controls) during performances, or pre-set to apply immediate cuts (Kill) on the high or low frequencies of the signal addressed to it.
The Model 1.4 also features the special dual pre-listening system, ideal for Back2Back, which features two CUE buttons on each channel: A and B. Cue A sends the signal to the headphones connected to the right side of the mixer, while Cue B sends it to the pre-listening section on the left. The two pre-listening buses are completely independent of each other, two separate output channels, both equipped with two 1/4" jack and mini-jack headphone sockets, split function, Cue/Mix mixing and rotary volume control.
The Model 1.4 mixer uses a fully balanced summing system typically found in high-end analog studio consoles, providing a high dynamic range (110dB) with natural attenuation of artifacts and disturbances such as hum, background noise and crosstalk. A 3-band equalizer with asymmetric gains (-20/+6dB) is available on the Master channel to be used as a creative tool, or as a regular EQ for compensating frequency levels.
There are two balanced stereo MIX outputs with independent rotary volume controls: the " MASTER " on XLR connectors with 3-band EQ and the Booth output on 1/4" TRS jack connections which can count on a two-band equalizer (low and high). The Record output on a 3.5mm TRS mini-jack connector, with a nominal output level of -2dB, is located in the top right corner of the Model 1.4.
To this we can connect external recorders that will receive the mixer's Master signal (pre-fader, post Master Eq) as input. The DSub output allows you to connect the Master, Aux 1, Aux 2 and Cue B outputs to a patch-bay or audio interface using a single standard TASCAM DB25 cable. The two 9-pin DSub connectors Link In and Link Out (for RS232 cables, for example) allow you to daisy-chain multiple Model 1 series mixers, for two-mixer performances, or to expand the number of channels on your console. For example, you can link a MODEL 1 (click here for info) and a MODEL 1.4 to create a 10-channel mixing surface.
