Why This Rotary Mixer Costs £3000 - The Alpha Recording System Model 9100
For more details and specs, check it out on our website - bit.ly/3zk7wf3
The casual DJ might well be thrown off by the Alpha Recording System 9100 DJ mixer. The analogue rotary mixer strips away many of the familiar feature of its club standard counterparts yet costs upwards of £3000. But why does it cost this much? Well, that’s what we’re going to try and discover. We’ll be looking at the history of rotary mixers, understanding what the 9100 represents and testing it out with some records.
The ARS MODEL 9100 DJ Mixer is a Japanese made, 4-channel rotary mixer with world's first 3-band hybrid ISOEQ. This 4-channel high quality rotary DJ mixer has a 3 band isolator on the master alongside hi...

    sounds killer, you aint gonna get that quality out of your pioneer! the dub delay really needs to return into a channel with a parametric on the mid, and maybe a few more things; for live dub this mixer isnt really it, but for house & disco hell yeah. & cut your dubs in the studio.

    Ok, great video, but I think I need to give you some feedback about your comparison. Before I came across your video, someone should have gave you some video feedback for your video section "Pioneer DJM 2000 Nexus vs Model 9100. Now, 9100 sound quality is WAY better than Pioneer DJM 2000 NXS, but in your video, you had the 2000 NXS bass knob to its lowest "cut off" and then demonstrated a comparison on the 9000 "knob at 12'o clock". That is unfair. About the slope part you mention, the 2000 NXS has a line channel slope curve that is adjustable. So, I don't know about your comparison there but that sounds iffy! In addition, the 2000 NXS have isolator knobs, no way near like the Bozak isolator you're showing but it has knobs. Sound quality and smoothness, Model 9000 outshines the Pioneer DJM 2000. Functionality-wise Pioneer DJM 2000 NXS body slams Model 9000. The old 2000 NXS can body slam some of these mixers on the market now. Like you said at the end of your video, it depends on what type of dj you are. Note: Analogy RCA vs SDPIF audio sounds may challenge your conclusion. LOL Just saying. LOL Peace DJ56

    I ordered it few weeks ago from your store, I just noticed the RCA "rec" output, is bypassing the EQ Isolator. It does the recording but without the Master isolator. I wanted to record my mixes with the ISO EQ when I tweak it. Doesn't seem possible? I also noticed the Loop Out bypasses the ISO EQ too. Is this normal?

      I noticed the video shows the audio being effected by the ISO EQ. See from 5:10. An audio recording device must have been used to pick it up.

    I chuckled when I heard about the 'history of rotary mixers'. You got the timeline wrong for about 25 years. The UREI and Bozaks are from the mid (Bozak) and late (Urei) 70s , not the 50s like stated in the video. The 'Paradise Garage' opened April 1976, the 'Studio 54' in '77. That was the time I started to build and use mixing consoles myself, mostly only pots, because good faders were 10 to 20 times more expensive. 'Rotary' pots are the most basic potentiometers (the are all 'rotary') and exist for around 100 years. All mixing consoles from the 30s until end of 50s on had pots because faders weren't yet invented/useable. The first real recording consoles for tape recording in the 50s like the Putnam UA610 had pots only too, yet no EQ & filtering besides a low cut. The first ones with faders instead of pots for the volume control came at the end of the 50s (1958) with e.g. the EMI REDD17 e.g. the big one at Abbey Road Studios. The faders were a big advantage because You have much more control. That's the reason all professional recording and live consoles use faders instead of pots for volume to this day. You have a much more sophisticated EQing and they also have low, high or bandpass filters (aka 'isolators'). These 'isolators' are simply active 3-way crossover filters (used in every 3-way speaker x-over) with high Q at the edges of each band, multiple aux/send/returns etc. I'd never buy something as expensive like this thing. You get a full blown studio console for this price per channel. We use some 'rotary mixers' (Mackie) for headphone mixes, and some high density rack 'rotary' mixers for complex keyboard or effect mixes. The only advantage I see with these simple mixers is, that You have only a few knobs to operate (and they may look cooler when You operate them), if You reproduce (and modify) prerecorded music.

  • @michaels8088
    @michaels8088 2 года назад

    Pluses...Straighter paths of circuitry for less chance of noise,crosstalk,distortion,and normally better internal wiring..Smooth transitions for most DJs who create long mixes..Even though i have a mixer with faders,i stay away from mixers with Efx,samplers,.filters..See the thing is,I spin MUSIC already made,so why would i need to mess with the records so frequently?Let the tracks speak for themselves at less 97% of the time ,allowing your skills and track selection make the night,not the gear...Minuses..The price for those DJs who cry about prices,as if someone suggested that DJing would be expensive. It is expensive so if you're not ale to spend a LOT of money,there's always knitting. The ONLY thing I cannot stand and that gets redundant,is standing there tweaking,twisting, and messing with knobs every three records. What else I cannot stand is knob DJs making insane comments about them being 'superior' to DJs with faders on their mixers. If you spin a variety of techniques instead of 99% blending,you juggle,you scratch,and you bring multiple skillsets, then all knobs might not be your first choice.While it is possible to scratch and do light juggles,it's limiting for most DJs with the whole compliment of skills..Would I get a 9100 or a rotary?I would with a fader module,and I believe the company did offer one at some point..Besides,these mixers are better suited for a permanent ,and well tuned system. No,I dont mean loud,and brash,i mean like a Rosner/ Richard Long system, even like David Mancuso's or Sting International,etc..

    Why aren't there 4 phono channels? seems odd that that channel 4 is 2 line channels. As someone with 4 turntables, the mixer is out of my consideration set because of that now.

  • @davidRios622
    @davidRios622 2 года назад

    I think it´s for DJs who want really boutique mixer and its own analog presence. The Mixer will look nice overtime compared with "standard ones" , engineering wise, I don't think have superior audio quality than digital ones , you can use a Xone DB4 or Rane mp2015 using coaxial digital and lossless audio file and will be better than vinyl with a lot of mechanical parts and analog stuff. That said most of the modern mixers have isolators on each channel .

      @ravinderteji9059 Год назад

      Sorry but you’re wrong take a vinyl record and a lossless version of the same track and listen the difference is night and day the bottom end is much heavier and the overall sound will be louder and more dynamic through vinyl.

    • @davidRios622
      @davidRios622 Год назад

      @@ravinderteji9059 Digital exceed any analog format in any metric , it’s quantitative and can be proven measured and with math . I love vinyl and analog gear , I own tape and vinyl players , but as engineer I know analog it’s imperfect , mechanical , degrades , and it’s why I love , the color added , and that some music it’s not available digital/streaming. However for clarity , high fidelity , if you can get the digital master in lossless format , can’t be beaten by analog . But won’t have character (color) added , I think it’s why this mixer may be very good, but won’t beat a DJM using coaxial digital .

    Your summery said it all. Totally agree. Less is more but the more you get for less is WAYYYYY more cost-effective than £3 grand for what is just a chin-stroking oddity, just like those uber high-priced turntables designed for those with more money than sense audiophiles... All to make your lift music sound more complex... also how much do those effect units cost on top of a 3G mixer?

    This looks like a nice mixer, but I tell you just get a 20 year old high end mixer with no FX like a good vestax, technics or rane for $500 and spend $3k on some boutique FX and you way ahead of a pioneer and look cool for being retro to boot. Built in FX are a total waste after a couple years because they usually have presets that fit with the pop music of the time but don't age well. Find me a really nice tape delay setting on a pioneer system that competes with any $600 tape delay pedal or heck for the price you could get a mixer and a fully refurbished Roland space echo for the price of a pioneer system. I know that's an extreme example. But consider an eventide vs pioneer.
