| Not seen a 650 but I use a 450 in my test rig every day and theres a 550 knocking around still working too. I believe these date back to when citronic stuff was british built, but don't quote me on that. |

Just bought one, What an excellent piece of kit it is! well pleased with it, way better than the modern CDM 10.4 that I had been using. I have also got an SM 450 as my spare.
And yes new citronic stuff is nowhere near as good as it used to be when it was still made in england, shame really. ------------- 100% Earth Moving Bass |

HI
I've got an original black panel SM650, british built, bought from new, appx 15 years old. Never failed, brilliant features, great audio quality, balanced outputs, eq inserts on everything. With the exception of the formula sound pm80's of the same period you cant get better. I'm looking 4 a cross fade, rare as rocking horse s**t so if anyones got one i'm your man.

The old English built Citronic mixers are excellent,really good component and build quality inside to...i have 4 here,(the oldest is 23 years) never had one go wrong yet.
As Fatjohnny say,Fomula sound pm80 is also good,but my pals formula sound has a lot of hiss at full gain,which you just dont get with the Citronic.
The only other mixer i want to get,but are as rare as hens teeth,is the Matamp supanova,these were hand built. ------------- Be seeing you. |

used to use it on the road up until 2 years ago.
Still the best mixer I've ever had,just a bit too big
to take out.
If anybody is interested,make me an offer.

I used a SM 450 for about 10 years (440 in a Thames before that) in the States and what an awesome Mixer, Still puts all the overseas stuff to shame.
