Analog mixer for DJ and vintage radio use

Brand: Citronic
Model: TONMIX 62 (also indicated on the panel as Stereo Mixer PreAmp SMP-606)
Year of production: 1978

This is a historic professional installation mixer (rack or console) produced in England by Citronic Ltd. (Melksham, Wiltshire) between the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was a very common standard in early Italian radio stations and nightclubs of the period due to its robustness and reliability.

Configuration with 4 main channels (vertical faders):

DISC 1 and DISC 2: dedicated turntable channels (phono preamps).
TAPE 1 and TAPE 2: line channels for tape recorders, cassette decks, or reels.
Under each fader are START selectors (blue and white push-buttons) for remote start of connected turntables or recorders.

Microphone Section (on the left): Handles two microphone inputs (Mic 1 and Mic 2) with dedicated volume, Treble, Bass adjustments and related red On Air buttons.

Master and Monitor Section (on the right): General EQ controls for music (Level, Treble, Bass separately for right and left channels) and a headphone monitor (Monitor) with volume control.

VU-Meter Indicators: Two analog needle meters to monitor the right and left signal output levels. The acrylic cover is damaged, as is one of the two needles.

Customization: On the right side there is a light blue Radio LatteMiele sticker, the Italian radio station founded in 1982, indicating that this particular unit was used in studios or for events related to the radio.

The lot includes the power cable and a handcrafted blue plywood stand/bracket, designed to allow use on a flat surface, such as a table or desk.
