Vestax to drop Samurai Series this Summer
Vestax have announced the release of the Samurai series
for this Summer, a new line of mixers with new faceplates. The mixers
will have more settings for the curve and also for the sound, one
of them will cut the sound on and off repeatedly. Vestax is going
to manufacture the 05 and the 06 in China (the 06 is already in
China) which should result in a lower price for those mixers. The
Price Drop came into effect, after Vestax announced the coming of
the Samurai series. Here are the new prices as of February 2001
: Vestax 05 Pro '2' : $399.99, Vestax 06 Pro 'a' : $299.99
