The Vestax PMC Pro series were perhaps the most iconic scratch mixers of all time. They distinguished themselves from the earlier PMC range by using VCA circuitry.
Contents
Architectures
The PMC Pro series went through a number of revisions, but were all based around 5 basic architectures :
Optocoupler-based
These models featured an optocoupler-based VCA, ran off 15VDC (or 12VAC for the PMC-07Pro)
