Hmm i‘ve worked a couple of years with stellavox devices. I have never seen a desk like that-looks like a portable mic input (there‘s a riaa switch😳) special request. Build quality of stellavox is stellar tho, these machines will last you a lifetime.
I‘ve worked with the play/record 35mm perfo tape machines that dominated hollywood/bollywood and paris moviestage mixing places. There were 32 at the place where i was working in Paris. I got the job there because i could talk with stellavox and they had difficulties talking english or french 
.
Stellavox was a very small company of 1 head engineer with the audio spec and three assembly ppl. Everything they designed was commissioned in the local aera and assembled by these 4 swiss. When Paris ordered these 32 machines, it took them 6months to deliver…and indeed some build quality flaws were discovered becsuse they had to rush things-fun fact: since the builds were sort of modular, one could easily replace a ‚bad‘ part.
They always had this rep of a stubborn little swiss company that builds nice machines but won‘t comply. This rep became even more stellar😆 when Beusch from stellavox became unique supplier for Francois Musy-that man overturned french cinema with his magic recordings for Goddard (another bad rep man). Musy was fed up with Nagra (they wont make me special requests) and with stellavox he found the perfect partner.
I highly doubt that above mixer is ‚bad quality‘ because Musy woul have called Beusch immediately…you can‘t kill a bad rep it seems.
Stellavox will always have Musy to their name and Musy is a maniac that won‘t hold back…but Musy is our hero for original sound when everybody was still sounddesigning everything in post. Goddard and Musy became known for the nouvel vague cinema.
An artform that completely avoided artificial post production in sound. They‘d have Musy come up with a rich tapestry of original sound-the only thing post produced was the score. Maximum story for a minimal mixer😎
I think these have been mentioned in this thread

Another very small swiss company with a difficult rep but incredibly nice sounding product.
Difficult rep because they won’t comply with mass production and superstar djs don‘t understand why😆. The guy really wants to be called Funk Bastard instead of his real name. Imagine tekkno superstars ordering a varia…‘erm, it can only do funk? Is the quality funky?? Can i not call you simon???
We swiss are a bit silly like that
