The new Carmen SE
The Carmen SE was originally a custom build for DJ Spinna, which we coined the “Spinna Edition”.
After receiving his Allegra XL and loving it, Spinna came back to us wanting a more portable option that he could take to gigs. So, we agreed to design something different for him.

DJ Spinna with his Carmen SE
He liked the layout of the 6 channel mixer we had made for Joey Llanos and asked if we could do something similar in a 4 channel format.

Our 6 channel custom for Joey Llanos
So we designed a 4 channel layout with the vertical channel EQs & input selector placement from Joey’s mixer and added a set of big VU meters that we’d previously used on a custom 6 channel mixer for Leeroy Brown back in 2015.

The 6 Channel custom we built for Leeroy Brown
The SE features a mic input with a dedicated fader, an FX send per channel option and Urei style pointer knobs to allow you to navigate levels in low light.

A custom green Carmen SE for Hot Wax Soundsystem
We've sourced some special field effect transistors, shortened the internal signal path to improve the mixers performance, our discrete 4 pole Isolator also gained these improvements as well as a re-tune for a flatter response.
Finally, we have added a distressed Ironbark wood option, which is a dark heavy hardwood with a distinctive character.
