Revision as of 20:28, 4 February 2016

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.

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 12
