I still have a Disco Supplies Catalogue that dates back to the late 80s early 90s,
The MatAmp Super Nova mixer is listed and shown as there flag ship mixer, It was so ahead of it's time, but was never a cheap purchase! Only for the serious connoisseur of fine DJ audio
I think Charlie Chans Night Club (Walthamstow) also boasted one of these great mixers back in the day |

I'd like a supernova, I just couldnt justify paying big money for one though. It would only be a "toy" for use at home, I wouldnt want to take it out with me.
You got a disco supplies catalogue? Any chance of scanning it and posting up here? |

The problem with vintage equipment is it's only worth what people will pay for it and a Supernova is not going to command a price that high no matter what the condition.
This would only really be of interest to a collector as the features on it are to restrictive for use today. It wouldn't be hard to source another Supernova (they do come up for sale occasionally) buy a new front panel (Matamp still have a few) and hey presto new looking mixer for half the price. The other problem with these is of course the parts are virtually impossible to find.

Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Once you have, call him what you like, you're a mile away and you've got his shoes!

If you could scan or photograph the disco supplies catalogue,and post it up in the Golden oldies section on here,that would be really helpful. Tony (ASS) on here did the sound install for Charlie Chans...i have some photos of that. |

I was the resident DJ from 1992, 2002 at the Epping Forest Country Club,
They had a crazy TOA system installed by John Boman Daniels, It Kicked Ass. TOA I hear you say!, well I don't know what drivers they used? It was mad, one of the crazyest sound systems I remember in a night club of that era The Mixer was a very rare, A System 2000 mixer (Silver) , by Formula Sound, (another very nice mixer) those were the days....

I have purchased and serviced the country club Formula Sound Mixer and rebuilt it from top to bottom and even managed to purchase all new top plates from formula sound.
It look brand spanking knew, what a gem Though my project of rebuild was not cheap, just the alps faders were a small fortune, Replaced all new op amps throughout and full re calibrated the whole mixer, It's looks brand new and sounds amazing.....
