Looking at the functional aspects, the EQ (equalizer) has two types: high and low, with no mid. *Some people say that the high is a bit like a filter, and some DJs prefer it. Also, as a distinctive feature, a long-life optical crossfader is used to accommodate technical uses such as scratching. A crossfader reverse switch is also included. Because it put some emphasis on scratching, the crossfader does not have curve characteristics. *Curve characteristics refer to the adjustment of the mixing of the volume when moving the crossfader.
