Pioneer DJM-300S vs. Numark Dxm-06
???
i love my dxm06. no complaints here. solid mixer. i abuse it like crazy and its still working like the day i got it. not that bad for a mixer worth around 250
i just order a dxm06...by all the good feedback it has
if it really is what everybody says...i'll throw away the gemini
I've been using my DXM06 for a year now. It's an ok mixer, only minor complaint is that the knobs are too small for my fat fingers. And I don't like button kill switch.
But for the price - as the previous post said - it's a bargin!
i would go for the pioneer
they're built like tanks, and they have everything you need and nothing you don't
i've played on a few 300's in my day and i'd say it's a good beginner mixer
id have to say, even with owning a dxm 06, to go with the pio, my faders are crackin on the 06 and it reaally pisses me off.
numark tt500s and ttx, great
Speaking of which, I do like the effects on the mixer... Does the 300's do that? And what are the other decent mixers out there comparable to DXM06 (price wise) which gives me the ability to play around with effects?

Go for an ECLER NUO2....its better quality than both, and cheaper than the Pio...which is a POS IMHO (well, its ok, but nothing special for the price)
You might want to take a look at the 707 instead of the 300.
Just got the DJM-300 very recently. It's a rock solid Mixer and works really well. I strongly strongly advise that if you're a relatively newbie, and/or your beatmixing still needs a bit of work, you go for the DJM-300S. Otherwise you'll become engrossed in FX that make your Mixes sound worse.
The Numarls are renound for leaking crossfaders unfortunately, eventhough they give a really bright, sweet sound.

Because it is a better mixer. What do you mean when you say that you use the gains to mix?
I've used both mixers for over a year now. I love the numark over the pioneer. The crossover on the pioneer has no adjustment whatsoever and the upfaders and crossfaders are made of some cheap light weight plastic. The pioneer only has one set of vu meters which makes it hard to keep track of the volume. And toggling between the headphone cue becomes annoying especially when you are mixing outside and can't see if the lights are illuminated or not. The numark on other hand is only 250 and provides kill switches too. Don't get me wrong the pioneer is an a solid mixer thats built well. But it has not features all it does it miscount bpms and crossfades between channels
Hmmm.. faders
Doing a froggle search pulled up very good prices for the DXM06.. 170+ free shipping maybe.. not too sure.. all in all about $200. I dunno, i've got a Numark 2000X or was that the 2002X.. nevermind, the one without the kill switches.... so yeah.. the x-fader bled when i got it.. (2nd hand).. so i got a replacement.. it was an easy replacement.. just remove and replace..
I'm looking at the DXM06.. seems like you can't replace the faders at all.. i mean, there is no "plate" to remove.. anybody know about replacement faders for the DXM??? ... or better still anybody know of mixers that have replaceable faders?... budget is around the same price as the DXM 06.. therefore around.. $200??
I know the numark has to have replaceable faders because it has the screws on the faceplate..and i think i read it on the website where i bout it from. all you have to do is remove the faceplate by taking of the fders (the come out pretty easily) and then unscrew the fact plate and then you have access to everything.
Well.. i'm looking at the Pics, but it seems like there isn't a plate for the DXM06....hmm

in the booth where i used the pioneer to mix with, i had no monitor speakers. I only had the ones that were for the crowd to listen, so i had to switch from cueing the track with both songs on the headphones and then listening to the master...it got annoying just spedning half a minute just switching between the headphone listening modes. I ended up switching to the numark for the performances.
bought the dmx06
its sweet

dinoXpress : all your posts are idiotic at best
it almost seems like you work for pioneer
first of all, your last comment about looks/ads/etc is odd...
it seems like you are jealous because you probably own everything pioneer and are on the bandwagon, while numark is trying to use a pricing strategy in order to penetrate the market...their turntables and mixers are much cheaper than pioneer, and offer sound quality that is AT THE LEAST equal (but better) than the pioneer mixers
their ttx-1's are very recent technology and are more accurate than the tech's, which are like 20 years old!
pioneer is just hanging on to its name
and you say the effects are pointless? well the sampling effects and beatkeeping techonlogy (which DESTROYS pioneer's useless bpm counters) is accurate and useful, for a dj who knows how to use it, but that's the whole point isn't it...to use it wisely, so the technology is there with a numark mixer
i have a Numark 5000fx and it's a brand new mixer with brand new technology and I am oh so glad i got it, at almost half the price of a DJM 600 that i was going to get
and whata hell do you mean 'pio=more power'...is your mixer built for demolition derby or something????
ps: i go for quality of each product line, as i do have a pair of cdj800's so i recognize where they are strong, however numark has a lot to offer
Please don't spread misinformation. TTX1s are in no way shape or form more accurate than SL1200s. End of story.

Lol, well I can give both sides of the coin.
Pioneer is renound for building Mixers like tanks. If you slam the crossfaders around, chop using the upfaders, and generally submit the Mixer to worse abuse than Mike Tyson on a date; the Pioneer is the one for you.
On the other hand, if you're on a desperate budget and absolutely must have FX, Mix like a woman and/or don't use the crossfaders at all; that Numark will do it for you. And yes, Numarks do give a very bright and detailed sound, if perhaps a slightly low bottom end.
I went for the Pioneer DJM-300S and am pretty happy. The BPM counters are gimmick though.
