New mixer, help!

I'm goning to buy a new mixer.
I ordered DJM 707 from Thomann last week, paid it and everything was clear, but then I got an Email today...
"The mixer isn't avaiible anymore", even if they had the mixer in their stock when I made the order

Anyway, I think I will buy another mixer then.

How about :
Excler Nuo 4?
Denon DN-X1500?
Xone 32 ?
Technics SH-MZ1200EGK ?

or any other cheaper mixer that you would recommend?

Which would you chose???

Out of those I'd probably get the Ecler because of the midi support and their amazing sound quality, but the Denon is also a good mixer if you wanted to save a bit of money.

ewww. i hate the denon. after spinning on it a decent amount this summer.

Technics

I own a Nuo4 and it's amazing. I would very highly recommend it.

The denon.

If you really want to get precise and have a sturdy ass mixer built like techs...get a Tascam X9. Beautiful mixer when you get used to the EQ's.

used pioneer djm600 will be cheaper than the ecler and the denon.

It also sounds like ass now compared to the new mixers...though if you're using it at home, you really wont notice too much difference.

I'm in the same situation, need to make up my mind before I travel to the US in a couple of days :S

Ecler blows because they have like one led on the whole thing and it's inside the mixer in a secret oil repository you will never find.

DJM600

You're right Spec, Ecler blows the rest of those companies out of the water.

Ok, looks like the Ecler is the best of them... But what can you do with the midi support? can you for example controlle ableton live ?

Posted by Vlad on Dec-13-2005 16:06:

Ecler hands down.

As far as midi, its for computers or hardware with f/x and sounds.

Yes.

the nuo4 is far cheaper than a djm500 let alone a djm600. Whoever posted they were more expensive is very very badly mistaken. Whoever talked about it only having one LED is also really out to lunch. i just counted the individual lights on my nuo4. there's 54 discreet lights/led's. the nuo4 will let you have full control over ableton or tracktor. it's a more limited version of sasha's maven controller. you can very easily mix from track to track with just the mixer, or throw samples into your mix using the ableton interface though.

Not necessarily everywhere in the world buddy.

Over here in England, decks.co.uk quotes a DJM 500 as �464, and the Nuo4 is �600...

Posted by Soundwerks on Dec-13-2005 19:21:

I've seen on the ECLER forums (www.eclerdj.com) that someone bought the NUO4 for �480....

denon x-1500 is much better and cheaper than djm 600

Cheaper, yes. Better, no. I'm with DinoXpress on that one.

I would go for the Ecler or the Xone. The Xone if you have no use for the midi.
