The specification, layout and features of the FF-6000 were determined in collaboration with leading loudspeaker manufacturer Funktion One, who felt that none of the current mixers from Rane, Allen & Heath, Urei or other top manufacturers were of high enough audio quality to be used with their products. Many DJs were canvassed worldwide to ascertain their requirements in a mixer and the outstanding FF6000 / FF4000 was born

The result is an analogue mixer which is not only of the highest sound quality (Distortion <0.005% & Noise Floor <-95dB), as you would expect from Formula Sound, but also incorporates the features and layout which DJs have requested.
