Hmm the lack of a ground connector is an odd omission for a device with a phono preamp. If you use it with a technics the entire chassis will be floating and will act like an antenna. You might get away with it in some environments but I wouldn't try using this in a club.

 

Depending on how the device is constructed you might be able to replace one of the chassis screws with a thumbscrew, something like this -

Although you might get better results connecting it to one of the phono connectors' grounds, depending on how the grounding scheme in the mixer is designed.

Wonder why they didn't design it the other way round so the width was shorter than the depth (like a PMC 06). It is still only 15cm wide but they would have shaved an extra 4cm off the width if they'd done that.

do you mean an interface? if so, no it doesn't have one
I was kidding. Just forum meme which emerges once a week... ;)

the height of the handykutz is nice, and it weighs enough to not slide around

 

yea, if only Vestax had known, and stayed around to make battery powered 06s

Not at the moment but it could be a great addition. Vestax PSU is rare af and my skills aren’t so good.

Anyways it was just a metal working cutting fader space and very little soldering to keep things in place ;)
