AUDIO INNOVATE AEM-100i DJ MIXER WITH INNOFADER

 

The AEM-100 and AEM-100i mixers:

-> have the fastest responding VCA crossfader on the market (1.6msec latency, 1.6msec response),

-> have dual analog effects sections including 2 oscillators,

-> have 8 audio inputs, including 2 in the front for easy access, and

-> have +/- 15V power supply rails for plenty of punch, warmth, and headroom on big sound systems.

 

Introducing the AEM-100i with Innofader - Where synth, analog filter warmth and crossfader precision come together in one great package.

 

The Audio innovate AEM-100i is a unique concept 2 channel mixer for working and performing DJs. Forget more of the same, we put an analog synth and effects in a DJ friendly format.

 

Thanks for all of your constructive feedback on the AEM-100. Based on your suggestions, we created a more scratch friendly AEM-100i.

 

The first thing you'll notice is the color coding. With all of the various sections it's helpful to be able to look at the mixer and figure out what section does what.

 

So what happened to the Fader Cuts? Many of you thought it was too much and got in the way of scratching. We still have them on the original AEM-100 but here we figured give you a clean faceplate on the AEM-100i. Getting rid of the Fader Cuts also allowed us to put back the upfader curves and reverse switches.

 

A good mixer should feel as good as it sounds and functions. So we replaced all of the knobs with color coded rubber knobs. If you get a chance to work with the mixer, you'll notice that having these knobs makes it easier to work the mixer, especially in the effects section.
