  • Did another little mix on the cheap Subzero rotary mixer mentioned a few pages ago:

    Love the mixer, but noticed one of the channel EQs has stopped working on the left speaker. Luckily owned it just under a year, so should get a repair/replacement. Hope it's a one off, would be a shame if it's unreliable as it's great otherwise.

  • Lovely set, I really like it. Smooth & deep.

    I have one Subzero SZ-DMR-400 rotary mixer. It's an exact copy of the Omnitronic TRM-402 rotary mixer. They use ALPS pots and make a pretty good quality preamp by my reckoning. My old CDJ1000s are used as hifi in my lounge. These now run into the Subzero, and then on into a pair of (one per speaker, bridged to mono) Rotel RB-971 power amps, driving a pair of Mission 702e floor standing speakers in our main lounge. I use the booth output of the mixer to run another Rotel RB-971 (in stereo mode) to drive a small pair of Roth wall mounted speakers in our kitchen/dining/chilling area, which sound surprisingly good. The Subzero is the 4 channel version, but each channel has a built in small switch to route in another source, giving me 8 inputs. This allows me to run ... 2 CDJs, digital radio, old tape deck, TV, sequencer/synth, computer, and an incredible little Esinkin hifi bluetooth receiver. It's because I have so many sources and still like to use my CDJs, that I have a mixer rather than a hifi preamp, but the Subzero fills the role pretty well, and it gives us so much versatility. I think mine is a couple of years old now, and so far providing flawless performance. I hope you get yours sorted and enjoy using it. Rotary pots are so much nicer to use than sliding pots. Good luck!!
