Turntablists have the following requirements in a mixer circuit:
  
 
* '''Small off-to-on travel distance''' - the appropriate channel should be fully muted when the fader is in the zero position, and bring the channel to full volume within the first few millimetres of wiper travel.
 
* '''Small off-to-on travel distance''' - the appropriate channel should be fully muted when the fader is in the zero position, and bring the channel to full volume within the first few millimetres of wiper travel.
 
* '''Decay time''' - when the fader is moved, the appropriate channel should change volume at a rate quickly enough to allow rhythmic cutting, but slowly enough to eliminate any clicks and pops which would be caused by an instantaneous decay

Mixer requirements

Turntablists have the following requirements in a mixer circuit:

  • Small off-to-on travel distance - the appropriate channel should be fully muted when the fader is in the zero position, and bring the channel to full volume within the first few millimetres of wiper travel.
  • Decay time - when the fader is moved, the appropriate channel should change volume at a rate quickly enough to allow rhythmic cutting, but slowly enough to eliminate any clicks and pops which would be caused by an instantaneous decay
