DJ TECH - TR-1S Thud Rumble Mixer

I have the non-Thudrumble version of this mixer and ...it's simply the best

Hey DJ Tech UK. I have the original version as mentioned. If you fancy giving me a a Thudrumble version to test, I'm only a few miles away in Preston. I'll come and pick it up

It's funny how people don't realize what this mixer is and what its meant to do, on here or on the comment section of the link I'm the OP. At least its funny to me anyways. Thud Rumble's version will most likely be limited quantity so that's the reason on the price, it jas potential to be collectable at a future point in time. As for the mixer itself many people are hating because they believe they are so much better DJs for using more kit or a mixer woth more "capabilities", but truth of the matter is, it does what its meant to do. If you believe you're better cuz your mixer has effects, challenge q-bert to a battle and watch his ass mop the floor with your shitty skills with the non thud rumble version onf THIS mixer. Rant done

It's just one Mini Innofader. It's a DIF-1S with a Thud Rumble paint job.

Our retail partner AQ Sound is taking pre-orders now with delivery expected towards the end of July. Only 100 pieces have been authorised for sale in Europe so nows the chance to get one ordered. They wont take any money from your card until the item is ready to be shipped.

It does look the business.

Alright......I was involved in the Mini from day one-bugging Elliot to do it, telling him what form factor he needed to use, going over features, getting one of the first hand made samples in the world. Ask Elliot about it. (That said, he did do all the actual work that made it what it is, so take my involvement for what it is).

The fader BODY is based on a currently existing fader from A-Plus. A-Plus is made of former people from Alpha who wanted to make a better product, and knew they could without making the compromises that Alpha has made in the last few years. As such, the bushings are a little bit tighter, and the rails are far more high-polish (needed for smoothness). That is where the similarities end though.

The fader PCB is a simplified version of the currently available Innofader. Simplified in that it doesn't have the calibration control dials, so the actual controller used is a little bit simpler. It does have an end stop calibration button on the bottom though so you can set the end stop points (useful if you want to push out the end point for some strange reason). The fader itself is actually somewhat insane-the linear response curve rivals and in some cases exceeds the linear response curve of many short body Alpha-style faders on the market. This itself is really important-it is pretty hard to get a great response curve in such a small body.

The important things here are that

A: it is an Innofader, capacitance and all, just made small and affordable enough to integrate into a manufactured mixer.

and

B: you should do some research before you say stuff like that-it isn't like there are not a ton of articles on the subject, many of which are on the very site you are on.

That's odd... I suppose its possible they've integrated capacitance sensing into the base PCB, although the unit its based on is definitely a carbon fader.
