Translation for the UREI 1601S review featured
in RAVELINE Magazine, 10/2005
Headline: UREI DJ Mixer – traditional
values in a new outfit
…
A mixer – especially for “vinyl-acrobats” is
always a matter of taste. A mixer that appeals to one person
is not getting more than a tired smile from another person.
But I dare to say that nobody can seriously complain about
the manufacturing quality of the UREI 1601S.
When you unpack the unit you realize that “solidity” was one of the top priorities on the list. The first impression
continues when you try the mixer. No matter if switches,
faders, pots – everything appears extremely solid
and high value. Also the positioning of these elements
is logical and thought through. The switches and knobs
are screaming to be used (does that translation make sense?)
…
The Sample Sektion with two banks checks the beat of the
signal and by one hit of a switch creates a clean running
loop that can be integrated in the set immediately. By
the way: it looks really smooth/cool, if you take the
running record off the table after 10 seconds but the track
continues.
…
Taking about sound – this was the point that made
UREI so famous long time ago. I could not compare the 1601
with the original 1620 but the “small brother” sounded
extremely good. The EQ´s change the sound carefully
and all in all the UREI 1601S has a powerful and noble
sound.
The combination of hardware- and soundquality, user philosophy
and feature set turns the 1601 into a “hot candidate
within its category. Don´t miss to check it out!
