THIS ONE IS SERIAL #1 AND ALTHOUGH A NUMBER OF THESE WERE PRODUCED, IT WAS A VERY SMALL NUMBER, WITH LIMITED DISTRIBUTION WORLDWIDE.  THE CHANCE OF ANOTHER ONE COMING ONTO THE MARKET ANY TIME SOON IS REMOTE.  THIS MIXER MAY BE RECORDED IN AUDIO HISTORY AS A UNIQUE INNOVATION IN AUDIO DESIGN, ITS ARCHITECTURE INVENTED FROM THE GROUND UP BY JEAN- CLAUDE SCHLUP.
