Headliner R2 2-Channel Rotary DJ Mixer

Description:

The Headliner R2 2-Channel Rotary DJ Mixer delivers the hands-on control, smooth rotary workflow, and classic character DJs look for in a rotary mixer—without the premium price tag. Designed for house, techno, funk, soul, disco, and other styles where precise mixing matters, the R2 combines a straightforward two-channel layout with high-quality components and powerful sound-shaping tools.

At the heart of the R2 are genuine ALPS potentiometers, 3-band isolator EQs on both channels, and a versatile analog filter. The result is a mixer that gives DJs intuitive control over every part of a transition while adding a classic rotary feel to any DJ setup.

Premium Rotary Design and High-Quality Construction

The Headliner R2 features a sturdy metal chassis complemented by stained wood side panels, giving the mixer a timeless look that fits naturally into both modern and classic DJ setups. Its modular internal construction is designed for reliable performance, while the external power supply connects through a secure locking Mini-XLR connection.

From its ALPS potentiometers to its solid construction, the R2 is built to provide the tactile control and dependable performance DJs need for mixing at home, in the studio, or in a professional DJ booth.

Two Channels with Phono and Line Inputs

Each of the R2's two stereo channels features selectable Phono and Line RCA inputs, giving you the flexibility to connect turntables, media players, and other line-level sources. Every channel provides the essential controls you need for precise rotary mixing:

• Gain control with peak LED indicator
• 3-band isolator EQ
• Headphone cue selector
• Large channel volume control knob
• Filter activation switch
• Selectable Phono and Line inputs

The intuitive layout keeps essential controls within easy reach, making it simple to blend tracks, shape frequencies, and create smooth transitions without unnecessary complexity.

Analog High-Pass and Low-Pass Filter

The analog filter is one of the key features of the Headliner R2. The master section provides selectable High Pass and Low Pass filter modes, along with dedicated Frequency and Resonance controls.

Use the filter to gradually remove low or high frequencies, add movement to transitions, build tension, or creatively shape your mix. Combined with the 3-band isolator EQs on each channel, the R2 gives you plenty of hands-on control over the character of your mix.

Flexible Master and Booth Outputs

The Headliner R2 is ready for a wide range of DJ setups with independent Master and Booth outputs, each with its own volume control. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections provide flexible options for connecting the mixer to powered speakers, amplifiers, monitors, and other professional audio equipment.

Whether you're building a home rotary setup or connecting the R2 to a larger sound system, its combination of XLR and RCA outputs makes integration straightforward.

Professional Headphone Monitoring

The R2's headphone monitoring section gives you precise control over what you hear while mixing. Dedicated controls let you adjust headphone volume, blend between the Cue and Master signals, and activate split monitoring when required.

The high-current headphone amplifier provides plenty of power for DJ monitoring, while both 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch headphone connections are available for compatibility with different types of headphones.

Classic Rotary Mixing for Modern DJs

With its two-channel rotary layout, genuine ALPS potentiometers, isolator EQs, analog filter, flexible connectivity, and distinctive metal-and-wood construction, the Headliner R2 2-Channel Rotary DJ Mixer is an excellent choice for DJs who want a more hands-on approach to mixing.
