What mixer is this?
I remember asking this very question years ago and getting an answer that it was a fairly rare make of mixer... like it was the only DJ mixer that the company made.

I know he toured with a racked and flightcased booth for some time, which was basically roll it off a truck, plug in the power and 2pairs of xlrs and its ready to roll- thats the setup that contained this unknown mixer.
It looks like a vestax variant- some sort of cut down and modified 500 series with longer faders, but who knows...it may have been a prototype.
I will send a mail but don't hold your breath for a response- thats an old picture from an old tour and touring crew can have fuzzy memories sometimes..
For those that are interested, just looking through my gigs and specs archive and found the 2003/2004 tour rider and booth spec which some of you may find interesting:

Well that photo would have been taken back in 1998, or even earlier (I'm pretty sure that's the shot that became the haloed "left-handed decks" picture)... back then it was actually fairly common for DJs to mix with 12-or-more channel mixers designed for mixing live bands on stage etc.
So it could be any one of several hundred different models.
That said, around then Turbosound (I think?) used to do 19" rackmount DJ mixers with 8 or so channels which had fairly long faders, so it could be one of them.

Hmm, could be a Rodec or Formula Sound?
It DOES kinda look like the Xone 464, but the layout is wrong.

That's it alright. It was a modular, so you could arrange the sections how you wanted.
