I felt a 4 band EQ would need more height than the 7RU of the FF6000 and thinking of the SYS2000 I decided it would need to be 8RU. I felt the compressor could be useful both home mixing and second/third microphone.įunktion One thought a 4 band EQ tailored to their speakers would be a good idea also we had previously showed them a variable frequency filter we had done some work on and Mike thought variable frequency high and low pass filters would be a great feature. I had a vision of a mixer that could be used for creating music (home studio) and be used for live performance so a compressor in channels 1 & 2 and AUX facility. The well-known FF-6000, predecessor of FF6.2 We discussed what we liked and did not like about the FF6000 and concluded the effects loops would go. Mike Igglesden took the lead for Funktion one, I produced some initial drawings and we had a couple of meetings at Funktion one, David Bruml and John Newsham of Funktion one joined in discussions.įrom the outset it was to be a follow on from the FF6000 so a table top mixer with the connections at the top edge as the FF6000. There was a suggestion about doing a follow on from the FF6000 ( ) and so a discussion started on what a new Formula Sound/Funktion one mixer should look like. The FF6.2 ( ) started following a discussion with Funktion one, we were talking about the FF6000 and mentioned that Formula Sound were working on a new mixer. If you are interested in the history of Formula Sound, you can take a look on this article: (this version is in Spanish: ), in this very same blog.ĭesigning a mixer: the Formula Sound FF6.2 Hope you can enjoy this interesting information (probably you will end loving this mixer), and I wish I can provide even more in the future. I would like to show how much I appreciate this excellent material provided directly from the most reliable source.
