About This Listing
For sale is a PSC M6 Retro field mixer from Professional Sound Corporation. This field mixer is made for Sound Mixers working from a cart in the film industry, as it can be run off of either 120V AC power via the included XLR power supply, or off of DC using 10 D-cell batteries. It works great as part of a mobile rig for pro audio as well. It does not include direct outs for every channel, but PSC will provide instructions to retrofit those, and almost any gear tech could mod it for those.
The mixer offers 6 clean preamps, and is in amazing condition, with hardly a mark on it, and no corrosion in the battery compartment at all. It had a velcro strip on the bottom at one time, and a faint outline of that can be seen, but that's about the only way to tell that it was even used. It also comes in a very well-made, custom, padded road case made by Dinosaur Cases.
The full owner's manual is online at PSC's website below, and that includes all of the features, specs, etc.
These rarely come up for sale, and when they do, they are usually very well used and often in rough shape, this one is as close to new as any field mixer I have ever seen. The sale includes the road case, the field mixer, a few insert/return cables, and the power supply. The meters work, all of the LEDs work, all of the knobs and switches are in excellent condition and work smoothly, and nothing is missing that I know of. A couple of the pots might need a little contact cleaning for dead silent operation, but they are all smooth.
If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them, though I am not in the film industry, and only used this mixer for some audio field work and testing. This vintage item is sold As-Described, but is guaranteed not DOA and working. Shipping will be charged at the actual rate and the buyer's desired method can be negotiated. Thanks for looking.
