I would be willing to stretch my budget a bit if it’s as simple and aesthetically pleasing as this. Think it’s around £1,500.
I had an original Radius 2, which I loved, the only issue I found was not having top, middle and bottom pots on each channel. With the valve one I’d be worried about turning it off and on too much, or am I being stupid?
A friend has got a 4V, it’s a nice piece of kit buuuut I think the curves on the isolator are too smooth, it’s all a bit too well behaved. Another friend has got an ARS and that thing is a hoot to play with, and will definitely blow speakers if you’re not careful.
This new 2-channel Ecler looks tasty at a bargain: WARM2 – Ecler DJ

Wow. Someone went to a lot of trouble to achieve that look. Those are the foulest looking decks i’ve ever seen.

If i were being charitable, i would assume he had them done for a review of wraps or paintjobs or something.
Sounds like he’s describing a Toyota Yaris
I wouldn’t be sad about the price. It very likely means you got the mk1 or mk2 versions with much better opamps than the mk3 and mk4 radiuses. That is part of how they achieved a reduction in price and the stupid thing is, they didn’t say anything other than “streamlining” production.

I got a radius 4, before I knew anything about the differences in isolators, and was very disappointed in how gentle the ISO is. I was hoping for a E&S style steep / dramatic cut. MS uses a 3 pole iso, whereas a 4 pole ISO was what I actually was after, like E&S do or as an optional extra on Condesas.
I like having separate LEDs for cue and master, so you can get the levels right. I don’t understand why, other than price, so many mixers don’t have this or only allow you to switch between cue and master levels instead of showing both at the same time.
yeah, plus they are about to jack them up, again!
‘well behaved’ does sum up the MS range I feel.
If I was ever looking again, I’d go E&S prolly.
Or worse, analog VU’s. I hate those. They might be pretty and offset some minimal effect LED’s have on the sound path, but I think they are utterly useless.

Similar to Allen & Heath, which is not a coincidence as they share the same designer. Some people like it, but I would pick an E&S over a Radius, too.
yeah, I saw that too. I’m a bit sore on Mastersounds at the moment because the high and low iso’s on mine crackle now, and some of the faceplate printing is rubbing off. Noisy ISO pots seem to be a common thing. Being I’m in New Zealand, I really cannot be fucked shipping it back to England for a warranty repair.
I wanna start recording my mixes but have never really recorded anything before. I’m using the Omnitronic 202 mk3, can anyone help me out? What’s the best way to achieve this? Tascam?
You have any kind of computer?
