Just found this over at Gearjunkies.
The Vibe has five channels, four of which are equipped with faders. The channel without fader is meant to enable microphones or auxiliary sources to be used without occupying one of the 4 main channels.
In total 9 stereo sources and one microphone input is available. Microphone level can still be adjusted with the Gain-control, and a special “Rap” switch makes it possible to turn very quickly to the preset level of that channel.
The fader channels are equipped with medium length, 60 mm ALPS fader which runs extremely smoothly. The VIBE channels consist of two inputs each, so that line signals such as computer, sampler, CD or MD player can be connected as well as three turntables.
A push button next to the channel input control allows switching from input 1 to input 2, so that plugging in and unplugging equipment is a thing of the past.
The price and shipping date of the Vibe is not known yet.

the past? when? i always laugh when i see this "feature" on a mixer, i've virtually NEVER seen a mixer without phono/line switching (usually on a toggle switch), it's standard even on the lowest end gemini crap. |

So you know, thats not what I typed, I just typed up the first line, saying I found this at Gearjunkies, I suppose I should of put the rest in quotes, I gotta admit this mixer is fugly, but I do know Dateq make some great mixers, like the XTC. |

| yes i agree dateq is a very very solid mixer as well as very nice and crisp sounding......also the LED 's on xtc (probably others also) are very fine and accurate....if they come out with a rotary model i would definately buy it to see what was up with it |

The text has most likely been copy-pasted from the XTC specs, in other texts they even forgot to get rid of the name XTC in one sentence
Pic is ugly, also because all LED's are coloured as they're switched on.
Just wait for the real thing!

A little too colorful for my tastes..
I'd be interested in seeing/using one in action though.. |
