ing Stanton family.  Sporting a new attitude, and a fresh, modern look, the
RM.404 is a 4-channel, rackmount mixer loaded with features and innova-
tions giving club and mobile DJs a powerful, yet simple tool to mix, create,
and perform their best.  1/4" and 1/8" headphone outputs, XLR, RCA, and

and a separate 1/8" jack for connecting portable devices such as iPods

,

ensure the utmost in flexibility.  Colored, backlit knobs, separate LED level
indicators, gain and 3-band EQs on every channel with a fully assignable
Crossfader, offer increased control and functionality.  Thoughtfully designed
and engineered to give you the most intuitive and instinctual experience pos-
sible, the RM.404 delivers all these features in a logical layout with quality
components, all at an affordable price.  

Stanton's revolutionary Superior Sound Technology (SST™) also gives the
RM.404 exceptional sound quality with audio specifications rivaling mixers
costing up to four times as much.  Developed from the ground up by a team
of seasoned audio professionals who have designed world class profession-
al recording studio and broadcast mixers, working hand in hand with experi-
enced and respected DJs, SST™ delivers a dynamic range better than 110
dB through ultra low-noise circuitry with a lower total harmonic distortion
(THD) than other mixers in its class.  Glass epoxy PC boards, surface mount
technology, and faders that don't bleed add to the superior construction stan-
dards.  This equates to a cleaner, more transparent sound, allowing your
music to be heard the way it was meant to.  We’re proud to bring you the new
look, feel and sound of Stanton.
