Engineered by Andy Rigby-Jones and co-designed by Hawtin himself.

Richie Hawtin’s PLAYdifferently company is releasing a new DJ mixer, called MODEL 1.4, this January.

A four-channel version of the MODEL 1 DJ mixer, the MODEL 1.4 features the original analogue design, with four stereo channels, two mix outputs, and two phono pre-amplifiers.

The new model also features a mixer Link system that allows multiple PLAYdifferently mixers to be linked together.

Engineered by Andy Rigby-Jones and co-designed by Richie Hawtin, the duo gathered feedback from artists, clubs and engineers to create the mixer.

MODEL 1.4 weighs 5.00kg, and measures in at 36.8cm x 24.8cm x 11.1cm.

The mixer will retail for £1,684.

It follows Hawtin’s Dimensions box set celebrating the 25th anniversary of his original F.U.S.E releases, via The Vinyl Factory and Plus 8 Records.
