So it can be used as four channel mixer + 2 inserts or as a 6 channel mixer. Interesting.
For the price of a model 1. Ouch.
Yeah same as the xone 96

So with two sends and master insert we only have Elara 6 and Xone 96? Master insert would have been a nice addition to Model 1. For stuff Iike Analog Heat mkII master insert makes more sense than sends.

You can still just plug your master into the AH

As someone ignorant of DJ mixers, I’m curious as to what are the advantages of rotary vs linear mixers for DJing?

The eternal question that will never be answered or agreed on.

Much smoother transitions as the rotary knobs can be fine tuned more accurately than pushing faders up/down, all imho though, only been dj-ing since 90s, so what do I know…

keep at it. you’re bound to learn something one of these decades 
is it common to have to internal components mounted to the faceplate like the elara.6 or is that kinda unique there? i always pictured it all living in the box and then the faceplate is just the “roof”

Dave‘s thread about the Union Audio Elara 6 got me thinking and on the Union Audio website. And now I got a new mixer for my vinyl setup. Uh yeah, baby

I use the Mastersounds version since 2020 for mixing my vinyls with a Digitakt in aux, perfect setup!

Really looking forward to having a go with it. Should be a nice step up from my Omnitronic TRM-202 Mk3 (which is great for its price as well).

Pots could “sound better” but I suspect you can make a good sounding fader as well nowadays. The rest I think is convention because of feature set e.g. theres nothing preventing you from having an isolator on a fader based mixer but in general pioneer and xone dont do it so its not as widespread as with rotary mixers. The same with the “fader curve”. You could have the same curve on rotaries and faders but the way it is generally is a matter of consensus with users and manufacturers.

A new Rodec? Awesome. I still somewhat regret selling the MX-180 Mk2 I owned for a while.

I had the chance to try the Rodec MX Modular at Superbooth 24, and I have to say, the build quality is incredible. It’s modular in a way that feels refreshing – a fully analog mixer where you decide what goes where. You get slots for 500-series modules (or stereo 100-series setups) and can swap out faders depending on what you need: mono, stereo, or even DJ-style.
It’s not unlike the freedom you get with Eurorack, but instead of focusing on sound generation, this is about mixing and routing. You can build your own channel strips, choose your signal chain, and still have AUX sends for external gear. There’s even an optional delay and reverb module if you want it.
What I really like about this approach is that it doesn’t lock you into a single workflow. You can design it for the studio, live sets, or some weird combination of both. It feels super well thought-out, and it’s clear Rodec didn’t cut corners here.
The price is steep – definitely out of my reach for now – but I admire what they’ve done. It’s rare to see this level of quality combined with modular thinking in a mixer.
The only other attempt at something like this that comes to mind is the Zähl AM1, but Rodec takes it in a different direction with its modular slots and customizable layout.
