FF - 6000 INTRODUCTION
The features and layout of the FF-6000 were determined in collaboration with leading
loudspeaker manufacturers Funktion One, who canvassed many DJs world wide on their
requirements. The result is a mixer which is not only of the highest sound quality, as you
would expect from Formula Sound, but also incorporates the features and layout which DJs
have asked for.
Although the FF-6000 is a fixed format design the use of individual circuit cards per channel, PTH
circuit boards, and all rotary controls securely mounted to the front panel, improve reliability and
aid servicing should the need arise.
A rear printed polycarbonate overlay to the top panel ensures that this mixer will still look good
after many years of use and notation will never rub off.
The FF-6000 is essentially a seven channel mixer. Six of these channels are laid out to the left of
the master section and the seventh is a dedicated microphone channel labelled ‘Console Mic’
positioned to the right of the master section
The six channels are each switchable to two input sources. Channels 1 and 2 are switchable
between low impedance microphone and a stereo line input. Phantom power is available for
microphones (internal selection).
Channels 3 to 6 are switchable between a stereo line input and a phono (RIAA) or line input.
(Phono/line selection is via a concealed push switch accessible through a hole in the rear panel).
These 6 input channels are fully assignable to the crossfader, and feature specially designed
three band equalisation with a range of +5dB to -23dB.
Gain trims are provided for all inputs accessible through the rear panel, as well as a front panel
gain control. An adjacent 5 segment led meter and clip warning indicator provide signal present
indication and overload warning. Illuminated push switches control input selection, channel routing
and cue, etc. Different shapes and sizes of push buttons along with colour coded illumination
help to easily identify control functions .
Removable Fader Panel
The fader panel mounted beneath the 6 input channels is removable and available with either
linear or rotary faders. This provides for easy removal and replacement of all faders which are
all connected by gold plated connectors. A screwdriver is the only tool required to replace a fader
or change the mixer from a linear to rotary fader operation.
Smooth feel Alps 60mm faders which are arranged to eliminate the ingress of dirt are used for
the linear fader option and superior quality rotary faders are used for the rotary option.
