-- Best 3 channel Mixer
Pages (3): « 1 2 [3]
thanx, man!!!! but try to find me a store that ships worldwide.... cause I live in Israel..........
god dammit!!!!! with thease prices I'll end up getting a Gemini mixer....... lol..... at least it would match my CD Player and rack case......
thease mixers are SOOOOOO OVERPRICED!!!!!
yea, they are. I'll admit they are definitly not cheap to build, and high end mixers actually use some really nice top end components, nothing like what you'd find in a gemini.. but the profit margin is WAY too high.
you really should look at the pcv275 if you dont wanna spend much cash... it's about the best mixer you'll get without paying too too much.
-mer
yes, I've heard alot about that PCV-275.... and it really looks impressive..... but it has only 3 channels and it's 10".....
I need a 19" with at least 4 channels..... (sux to me me, eh?)...
and about the Gemini mixers, I found that the new Gemini CS-19 has just about everything I'm looking for:
* 19" rack mountable
* 5 channels with EQ's, gain, and volume leds on each channel
* 8 line, 3 phono, 3 mic +eq's for each mic (not that I'm gonna use a mic but hey...)
* assignable crossfader with different curves to select from
* illuminated cueing
* master, booth, recording, and 2 zone outputs
* main outputs (master, booth, recording) are ballanced (XLR+RCA)
* front panel AUX input + spare loop connectors
* all connections are gold
* CHEAP!!!! only 350$ (woopie!!!) 
here's a pic of it:
what do you think????
Boo. Gemini sucks, in my opinion.
There are cheaper vestax ones:
The PMC-15MKII

PMC-15mkII
http://www.hollywooddj.com/vestaxpcv1501.html
A lot cheaper than the 400, and probably a LOT better than that gemini.

I think the bad rap on gemini has more to do with thier mixers than anything... which have a reputation for breaking, needing fader replacements all too often, EQ knobs getting worn out all too quick, etc... just general mediocre build quality.
for the price range, i dont think they are that bad.. if you think about most lower-cost mixers, reports of components needing replacement often is fairly common...

yeah, i'm not sure why those 2 are so much cheaper than the vestax 400. probably just way better components.
as for gemini.. they are just.. lower end that's all. they aren't total shit, but they are not even close to the best either. same with numark.
vestax is much higher quality, and rane or allen and heath are even better.
oh....... ic...... okay. you 2 convinced me. I'll stay away from Gemini mixers.... I don't want any parts breaking out in the middle of a gig.... hehe... although I heard their turntables are pretty good.... but I'll discuss that in another thread I'll open when I save up enough money for TTs......
anywayz, how about Phonic?? ever heard about them?? right now I own a Phonic mixer and I'm pretty satisfied from the sound quality and the durability (I have it for over 2.5 years, no damage whatsoever!!! still in top condition and working like a charm!! 
)
but it's a DM-3030.... that doesn't have an EQ on each channel. it has only a main EQ for each speaker..... and that's why I want a new one, that has an EQ for each channel....
I was in Phonic.com just now, and I found a new model..... the MX-505..... it's identical to the Vestax PCV-150, and has all it's features.... here's a pic:
what do you ppl think??
um... i don't know much about phonic, but i know that they aren't one of the leaders in mixers.
get whatever you like mate, if yours works, then you have experience with it..
course DJM3000 would be better, but also probably 10 times as much.

You are welcome. I recomend you get one of the cheaper vestax ones if you can't afford the pioneer.
and if you are gonna go lower than that, get a gemini or numark.
I wouldn't get that phonic thing if i were you.
no prob hyper... glad we could help.
good plan on trying to go with a vestax.....they make decent stuff that isnt very expensive, unless you get thier real high-end stuff...
-mer
okay ppl. I'll get some prices next week, and I'm guessing I'll buy a mixer sometime in July.... I'll let you know what I got in the end....
