SST is the result of a new strategic initiative at Stanton to bring pro audio specs to a more affordable price point, which the company has achieved by utilizing a new team of engineers from broadcast and recording mixer backgrounds - in conjunction with Stanton’s own DJ product managers.
All SST mixers boast a flat frequency response from 20Hz-20kHz +/-1.5dB and a dynamic range better than 110dB (noise and distortion better than 0.015% THD) no bleed-through between phono and line inputs, and superior construction using glass epoxy boards (except SMX-301) and surface mount technology throughout.
Currently, there are four models in the SST-Series. First is the SMX-301, a 3-channel mixer that sports rotary gain and 3-band EQ on each channel, built-in kill switches, balanced Master outputs and more. Stepping up to the SMX-401, users gain a high-quality Penny & Giles crossfader, an onboard FX loop, plus balanced Booth and Master outputs.
For turntablists, Stanton offers the SA-5, a 2-channel scratch mixer built in conjunction with the Allies All-Star Beat Down. For mobile and club DJs, Stanton presents the RM-22 - a 4-channel rackmountable mixer with three Phono inputs (two selectable for CD), seven Line inputs, and three Microphone inputs - plus stereo 7-band Master EQ and a versatile output section.
Stanton products are availabale in the UK from Lamba plc.
