Top of the line custom-designed Penny & Giles crossfader and line faders are installed on this mixer, offering three-way adjustable curve control. In addition, Stanton has included an extra crossfader, the newly redesigned CFF2 Focus Fader. The layout of the mixer has been carefully designed by DJ Focus, with each feature positioned according to a scratch DJ’s natural hand movement (for instance the Gain). He also designed the one-off knobs and faders, moulded to fit the DJ’s fingers.
Another unexpected surprise innovation is the ability for the DJ to listen to his scratches in the headphone (via the Post Fader cue) while using the crossfader as normal. One final DJ-friendly innovation - the Autocue feature eliminates the need for touching the cue pan (switching from channel 1 to channel 2). It all adds up to an ergonomically-considered package designed to anticipate the every need of the scratch artist.
