Cometa Launches The $15K M2 Rotary Mixer For High-End DJ Booths
Cometa has officially launched the M2, a limited-run rotary blending amplifier and high-performance club mixer built for DJs, engineers, collectors, and hi-fi users who demand uncompromising analog control. The Los Angeles-based audio design house is producing only 300 units, priced at $14,999.99 USD, with sales handled directly through the company.
The M2 occupies the upper echelon of DJ and listening-room hardware, where the physical interface is as critical as the sonic output. This Swiss-designed and California-built mixer was developed in collaboration with industrial designer Tobias Brunner and is engineered around a Class-A discrete analog signal path. The component list is equally impressive, featuring Cinemag transformers, WIMA film capacitors, custom-machined aluminum knobs, and a fully machined aluminum chassis.
This level of craftsmanship signals the intended user: the M2 is built for environments where the mixer serves as the heart of the listening chain, and where gain structure, tactile precision, and low-noise performance are paramount.
Inside Cometa M2’s $15K Rotary Mixer Build
The technical foundation of the M2 is its Class-A discrete analog circuitry, designed to provide low noise, high headroom, and transparent output. While such claims are common in high-end audio, the M2 distinguishes itself with a layout and component set specifically curated for selectors and engineers who prioritize the physical feel of the signal.
The center of the top panel features a proprietary VU meter with 390 LEDs, allowing users to monitor levels through a single, intuitive visual interface. It includes selectable display “personalities,” each mapped to professional VU operation standards, ensuring the visual feedback is both functional and adaptable. Tone shaping is handled by dual TONE controls built around a Pultec-style passive tonestack EQ, a choice that emphasizes musical adjustment over surgical correction, allowing users to blend records and shape the room’s atmosphere with ease.
Rotary Control For Clubs, Studios, And Hi-Fi Rooms
Beyond its core mixing capabilities, the M2 includes active FX send and return channels with PRE/POST push-button switching, providing a seamless way to integrate external effects. The unit also features a refined headphone amplifier for accurate cueing and adjustable microphone volume for performance use.
The physical design further separates the M2 from standard club hardware. The aluminum chassis utilizes a lockable hinged design that opens to reveal the internal circuit layout, while the knobs are shaped with tactile orientation cues for eye-free control. This attention to detail underscores the intended use case: long sessions, low-light environments, and the need for precise, hands-on control that remains reliable without the distraction of a screen.
At this price point, the M2 is clearly aimed at a discerning audience. For the right booth, studio, or private hi-fi room, it makes a compelling argument: a rotary mixer can, and should, be treated as a centerpiece rather than a mere accessory.
