Technics Quartz Direct Drive SL-1200MK2 Turntables
Remember what DJs used in the club before the 1200s? Nobody else does either.
That's because the heavy-duty design, vibration-resistant construction, and mechanical precision make a lot of what those early DJs did possible. This deck was the first to feature a Direct Drive motor, quartz movement for total accuracy, adjustable tone arm weights, anti-skate control, a pop-up target light and a sliding pitch control. With each new improvement, as form follows function, the Technics turntable has become a thing of beauty.
From the community centers at the beginning of the disco era to the clubs of today, Technics decks have been the standard for over thirty years.

Presonus StudioLive 24.4.2 Passive Digital Mixing Console
When we designed StudioLive, one of our primary goals was to provide a familiar interface that would keep all critical controls visible and accessible not buried inside multiple menus. Sit down at a StudioLive 24.4.2, and you see real hardware Mute and Solo buttons, trim controls, and clearly labeled, individual knobs for the parametric EQ and dynamics processing. The master section complete with Talkback, Monitor, Cue, and a choice of headphone sources looks just like the master section on an analog board but with far more power and flexibility. Aux sends have their own controls. Every channel has a big, bright meter display. Bottom line: if you've ever used an analog mixer, you'll be right at home with a StudioLive 24.4.2. And even if you've never used a mixer before, you'll quickly be able to create quality mixes and recordings.
