Formula Sound FF2.2l Mixer Made for the Vinyl DJ

0:00 Little bit about this mixer simply

Alright guys, this is my first video on the FF 2.2L from a company known as Formula Sound. Now, in this video I'm not going to use any audio or play any audio simply because there's very little point while I explain a little bit about this mixer simply because you will only be hearing audio through the speaker system you've got at home when really what you need to do is listen to this mixer via... For example, Function 1 or maybe Turbo Sound or maybe some good quality high-end sound system. Now the FF 2.2L will use, you can use CDs with it, but it's really been designed for someone who loves the original sound of vinyl. Hence the two Technics SL1200 Mark IIs, the daddies of all turntables. Now let me give you an analogy first of all.

Let's imagine you want to get from the south of where you live to the north and that's about a thousand kilometers. It's going to be hell of a journey, money is no object, you go to a showroom and you buy yourself a Ford something or maybe you buy yourself you know a family saloon an Audi or for example a BMW. Nothing special just something to get the family from A to B. Of course Theoretically, so long as the vehicle doesn't malfunction in any way, you're going to get from A to B in relatively good comfort. On the other hand, if money is no option, why don't you get yourself a Bugatti Veyron? Hand-built with love and dedication, not the sort of vehicle that on a Friday afternoon they're thinking...

1:41 Crikey, we stopped working half an hour

Crikey, we stopped working half an hour. Let me just get that bolt on really quickly. Is it secured? Well, it'll do. No. The Bugatti Veyron has probably been made with such love and dedication that every single bolt has been turned to the precise position as the other one, and so on and so on. That's what's happened here with the F2.2L. This has been manufactured... Designed and built in the United Kingdom with love and dedication for someone who loves to play vinyl. So this mixer is not for everybody. This isn't your box standard mass produced in some foreign land where they make a thousand every single day. No, this has been made with passion and love. So much so, by the looks of it here, you think, well, you've got your up-faders, your crossfades and of course you've got your phono and you've got your trim and so on. No, there's a lot more to this than meets the eye. Four band EQ for example. We have a dedicated low pass and high pass filter. Need I go on? Okay.

3:34 Certain parts of the mixer

There is a lot to this that meets the eye. Even on the underside, you know, you can set this to what cartridge you're using. Yes. So most mixers out there that I know of, you plug your vinyl turntable in and that's it. No, not with this mixer. Because if you are a hi-fi buff, you should know a lot more about how... Cartridges work, styli work with the hardware you're using. So you can set the FF 2.2L to complement the cartridge. I'm literally scraping the surface on what the FF 2.2L can do. There will of course be more videos on the mixer, more in depth, and what I want to do instead of doing one huge video on everything over the next however long, let's have a look at certain parts of the mixer. Let's go in depth.

On certain parts, so you yourself can decide. For example, let's imagine, again, let me give you another, not analogy, but let's say you, during the 80s, you were a rave fanatic. You used to go to raves, you bought yourself a set of decks. Of course, family comes along and you look at your turntables and you think... Nappies, turntables, nappies, turntables. It ends up being nappies and the turntables eventually get sold. Move away, that's it. You get yourself a good job. All of a sudden you look at your children who were in nappies and they're like 20 year olds. Hmm, some free time. So what do you go and do? You go back to the passion that you loved, the music that you used to love. So you go to some shop somewhere and maybe you decide...

To buy your Ford Escort. On the other hand, yep, remember the analogy, on the other hand you think, do you know what? I have worked bloody hard all my life, I deserve the best. So, you go and get yourself something that is pretty much at the pinnacle of mixers, alright? Now, alright, enough about that. I am excited to use this mixer. I'm going to be using it in live streams and also more videos to come. There will be information in the description on this Formula Sound Mixer. It's the FF 2.2L and believe me, it is... Well, it does produce eargasmic sounds. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
