An ultra-rare rotary mixer from the Louie Vega archives.

Up for auction is a Vestax R1 Premium mixer, one of the earliest production units created — co-designed by Louie Vega and his tech Ralphie Boy in collaboration with Vestax. A beautifully engineered piece, it was a standout innovation in rotary mixing.

The specs:

    •    Model: Vestax R1 Premium

    •    Edition: Early production / prototype run

    •    Condition: Excellent, lightly used

    •    Provenance: Designed and owned by Louie Vega

There aren’t many of these out there — and this one is about as close to the source as it gets. For collectors, audiophiles, or DJs who respect the craft, this is the real deal.
