KEY HIGHLIGHTS

M-101 – Dual Discrete Stereo Phono/Line Preamp

Contains 1 line and 2 different sounding phono stages: the original MX180 stage for immediate Rodec party sound and a brand new Rodec-engineered discrete stage, that features a deeper and more relaxed sound. You can switch between the two phono stages with a simple flick of a button.

Next to this, Rodec have added the option to push an additional +20dB of gain to help get those lower-level records to match.

M-102 – Analog 3-Band Stereo Equalizer

Recreation of the original MX-18 EQ that has low/high and presence (mid) built-in divided sections to provide a larger, independent range of tone control. Don’t expect the kill EQs you find in today’s DJ mixers. This is a usable EQ to musically tweak your favourite recordings.

Craftsmanship

Engineered and assembled by hand in Belgium. 2mm of carefully painted RAL9005 aluminium panels, sturdy metal knobs, and locked in a solid locally sourced piece of elm crafted by wood furniture maker Eletta Daemen.
