Portablist.com Closer Look
- From the video you can already tell that the RXI-F1 is a bit larger than it’s predecessor.
- The inputs and outputs are now located on the right side – instead of the front as before.
- 2 inputs (left & right channel) and 1 output. With that said it cuts on both sides and will work with 2 portable turntables.
- Housing seems to be in some sort of metal casing.
- LED light indicator at the top (as seen in previous leaked photos)
- Standard Innofader cap size for the fader knob (larger than the original caps found on the VVT-MK1).
- Not clear on how it is mounted. Looks really stable in the demo video.
We’ll be getting our hands on it soon and will give you a closer look and review! Please share and feel free to make a comment!

Doesn’t seem like any advantage over the Jesse Dean fader yet? Or am I missing anything?

Jesse Fader can’t cut out the tune (looper) and cuts in from both sides – making it impossible to mix with.

The innofader addition is huge. I think the ability to adjust the curve cut off is huge along with the 2 channels inputs.

Interesting. I just ordered the Jesse Dean but this looks like a level up. Good to see the technology progressing.

No, the RXI is 2 to 3 times the size larger than the previous model.
