Formula Sound and Funktion One have collaborated once again with the aim of producing the best analogue signal path mixer in the world - the FF6.2L

An evolution of the renowned FF6000, the FF6.2 features precise four-band, full-kill EQ on all channels. This allows for complete frequency band cuts and isolation as well as subtle spectral balance mixing more commonly associated with studio mixers. The EQ frequency response characteristics have been carefully optimised to give superior, intuitive control of bass, low-mid, high-mid and highs.

Channel 1 & 2 inputs are Mic and Balanced line with a selectable compressor. The Mic input may be set to Booth mix or post Booth mix. Channels 3-6 inputs are Phono and Line. The headphone may be set to pre or post EQ and there is a cue balance control. The cross fader features a contour control. A PRO X cross fader is available as a cost option.

Each channel has 2 selectable inputs, 4 band full kill EQ, 2 Aux, 12 LED meter and adjustable high and low pass filters. The low pass filter is adjustable from 20Hz to 1 KHz and the high pass from 1KHz to 20KHz.

The output section includes Console mic, Master, Booth, and AUX level controls plus metering and headphone outputs. The headphone has a split selection.

A rotary fader version is also available (see options below).

Balanced inputs on channels 1 & 2 are on 3 pole 1/4 inch jack sockets. The compressors on channels 1 & 2 operate on both Mic and balanced line inputs. The compressor has a LED threshold indicator and the compression and threshold can be adjusted using hidden controls through the base of the Mixer. Inputs are selected by a switch at the top of each channel. Channels 3-6 have RCA phono connectors with the upper pair being line input and the lower pair phono. Master and booth outputs are both balanced XLR. AUX outputs are balanced on 3 pole 1/4 inch jack sockets. Record outputs are on unbalanced phono sockets. A mono balanced output is on XLR, this output may be switched to Sub Bass using a control through the base of the mixer. The insert is enabled with a switch just below the master volume control. There is a 2 pin remote mute connector for use with a fire alarm or similar. This mutes the music but leaves the console mic on (if Ch1 and / or 2 MIC inputs are set to Post Booth then these will also be on). The Booth and Master have left and right 12 LED stereo metering. The Booth has a mono switch and pan pot, the console Mic is excluded from the booth output and Channel 1 & 2 Mics are selectable. Each input has a recessed gain trim on the rear panel (except balance line on 1 & 2). The microphone inputs all have a phantom power switch through the back panel. The microphone inputs are all on XLR and the Mic gain trims are multi turn potentiometers for extra fine adjustment. The Zone output is balanced on a 6 pin connector. The Zone level is controlled by a remote panel that connects to a 3 pin connector just below the Zone output - this panel may be located in a different room. Insert is on 3 pole 1/4 inch jack sockets (send and return). Two headphone outputs are provided (headphones must be at least 32 ohms impedance).

The FF6.2 is now only available with an external power supply to prevent any possible cooling issues. This also removes the need for noisy cooling fans and slightly improves the audio noise floor.

The FF6-2L was designed by Formula Sound to Funktion One specifications and Jordan Rothlein at http://www.residentadvisor.net writes:
Funktion-One also has electronics components, like amps and polarity checkers, manufactured to their specifications. They even had Formula Sound start making Funktion-One-branded DJ mixers, because save "an old Urei, maybe," they didn't think there was one on the market up to the standards of their rigs. If Tony Andrews could, he'd have a hand in every link in the chain: master and cut the vinyl, code his own digital audio file format, design every component in the booth, maybe even set the gain and work the EQ so that DJs couldn't redline. "It's like a series of windows, one behind the other," he said, using his favourite simile for the signal chain at clubs. "You only need one dirty window and you can't see the view any more." But he realizes that all he can do is keep tinkering with the thing he knows best, the one he's committed to professionally and spiritually for more than four decades. "I've just got my whole being tuned into listening to audio. It would be crazy to not keep going with it, if you see what I mean."

In a nutshell, it made mixing more fun, but that's not surprising given that one rarely gets a chance to use a mixer of this calibre. You might not be taking one home any time soon, but if you're lucky enough to get a chance to use it at a club, you'll feel and hear that the FF6.2L is a mixer of rare quality. Overall Rating 4.6/5 - Mark Smith - residentadvisor.net/reviews/20050

As an alternative to Rane, Allen & Heath, Ecler, Bozak or Soundcraft UREI 1603/1605 DJ mixers the Formula Sound FF6-2L is unrivalled and its outstanding audio quality is unsurpassed.'
