Magnitron-1 Cassette Mixer

Quote:











Introducing the Cassette Mixer Magnitron-1, developed by Andrey Kurokhtin, also known as Shine Grooves. The Magnitron-1 is a one-of-a-kind device that allows you to play and mix two cassette decks, each with independent control over pitch, volume, and a three-band equalizer. Magnitron-1 is not just a mixer; it’s a complete musical instrument, opening up new creative possibilities for working with cassette tapes.

Andrey handcrafts each unit in Yekaterinburg as part of a limited series.

Pre-orders are open until the end of the year.

Price: 1400 euros + shipping (50% prepayment required).

Shipping estimates are approximate and may vary based on your location and current postal conditions.

Delivery is expected within two months after the pre-order closes.
