Like many I couldn't stand the cheap, boring quality of the unit's color scheme and knob feel so I added a automotive-grade 3M cherry teak decal and replaced the toy-ish knobs with some classy ones from a guitar pedal parts store. In addition to the cosmetic changes, I eliminated the wobble from the pots by tightening the holes with strips of wax paper which also gave a small bit of desired turning resistance. I still have yet to replace the fader caps with some quality black ones but until then it's perfectly enjoyable. Overall it feels like a completely new mixer. Below I'll include links to the parts I used in case anyone would like to create something similar.

| Delmar Swamy 01.08.2011 | Aw I was hoping to see someone finally mod the S4 |
| Davida Marmet 01.08.2011 | Alright guys, I accidentally mislead you I believe. My Post is more of a "show your modded setup" than an s4 mod. My sincere apologies, like you i'm too afraid to really open my s4. However, I did do extensive modding to my flight case. http://merlin000.imgur.com/dj_flight_case#QNPyL Posted more pictures here in my album. Link for stock Flight Case: http://www.marathonpro.com/mamabaho2tui2.html Basically the idea you can see from the 1st picture, I had made a custom wood inlay that would shield the built in computer and also house my 12'in mixer instead of the 19in that the case is made for. After getting the S4 and going over some of the issues with the 1st mod, it was apparant that it could be redone but better with the S4. The following pictures show what the insides look like when the wood panel is removed and the extra gear is removed. Audio 6 and 12 mixer rendered obsolete, it freed up A TON of space in the center bay. One main frustration we had was that the S4 IS NOT 19" rack mountable. No matter, we took out the rails, but still would not fit in the bay. Next we knocked out the center walls and ripped out the foam on the opposite sides of the walls. Installed newly painted plywood to reinforce and the old center walls just became a frame for the S4, a little bit of weather stripping on the inside to cushion and we're good to go. The "laptop stand" aka : folding sheet of carpeted plywood was already measured and center cut out so that an old Samsung 17" monitor was mounted INSIDE the stand so that the computer inside could have a screen. You'll also notice in the gallery that there is a 1U server blank that we have drilled holes into for rca pass thru jacks. That panel is mounted in the back of the case under the monitor so that you can access ALL of the rca ports on ALL of the devices including the turntables. I understand that you have to attach jumpers before you gig, but you cannot imagine how often this panel has saved me issues w/ people wanting to use their own gear or me having to run my main output somewhere other than to the main amp. Later you can see pictures of the whole package with the monitor up and down. This was made for me to use and for my DJ crew to have a 1 stop box to throw on a table and have all of us mix on for the rest of the evening w/o having to swap gear for anyone. The only thing I don't have room for is a pair of cdj's but having the panel on the back allows for easy setup. I'm currently working a "table top" addon that will be a very low "top" that fill fit into the lip of the flight case to basically cover the turntables and provide a tabletop to put the cdj's on when people request them. post thoughts, feedback, questions, I will try to follow this thread. Again i'm sorry that i didn't open my S4 and post pics or mod it |
| Dino Hapgood 31.07.2011 | ugly photo but I put the whole turntable back together to make sure it worked. Also getting my x1600 tomorrow so I wanted to fully test it out with both turntables. Lights don't come in until like the 18th but I'll have fully painted my second deck by then so I'm not worried. The most annoying part of taking these things apart were the bottom screws. Sooo many fuckin screws. anyway gonna break out the D70 when I get everything together and take some nicer shots. |

| Wayne Washko 29.07.2011 | more pics are desired. please |
| Davida Marmet 29.07.2011 | Not sure if this is a big deal or not, but we did some...."minor" case modding to my flight case....pics incoming Here is the progression from mixer/soundcard to S4!!! http://merlin000.imgur.com/dj_flight_case#QNPyL EDIT: oh yea, in case the monitor didn't give it away, there is a complete computer built in under the S4, more pics can be taken if desired ;p |

| Percy Keehan 08.07.2011 | Added Rubber Grips to mount Midi Controllers have a discover dj for a nice 2 deck and sample deck scratching mapping |
| Brock Ricapito 03.07.2011 | that's deplorable. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 03.07.2011 | That is one slick keyboard type thing you have there. I wish there were some cheaper controllers with the button layout. |

Thank goodness for hi powered black light flashlights Ill take some pics of it under UV when the sun goes down, and then just glow. I did the same to my cdj2000.. just not in the pic |
| Dacia Mccart 02.07.2011 | A unicorn raped your gear? Its kinda odd but cool in a different way. |

| Marva Cupid 22.06.2011 | Iv just thrown out an old ivory monitor, had that since we moved from SA, that was like around 10yrs ago now. |
| Lilliana Perris 22.06.2011 | besides that....its ugly.....the white gets dirty and is covered by a protective cover (unless he dumb ). Dunno....the white tech went out with the ivory\cream colored computers..... Remember when they were ALL ivory colored? Nasty! |
| Marva Cupid 22.06.2011 | yeah thats stupid, my friend got one last evening and im like, you do know the iphone 5 is coming out shortly. |
