Just bought the DXM09

Man, as much as I've disliked Numark products in the past...this mixer is amazing for the price! Snatched it for 300 bucks and couldn't be happier! I've never actually heard onboard FX that sound good until this mixer

Now to the question...some people tell me the faders will hold up really well, and I've also heard that with this mixer the faders will crap out sooner than most other mixers. Does anyone know anything in regards to this? Thanks

My DXM06 seemed to be working just fine when I stopped using it back in June. It's still sitting in my room (for $100, any takers? C'moooon... I mean... c'mooooooooooooooooooooooooon). It was one hell of a nice beginning mixer and I can only imagine the 09 is better, and with an extra channel to hook up like, I dunno, a blender and shit.

ill give you 80 :P

well ive had my dxm 06 nearly 2 years and havent had any problems yet with anything the dxm 06 is exactly the same as the dxm 09 by the way it just has one less channel

Congragulations on making one of the best value purchases in your DJ'ing career!!! I've had my DXM09 since the week it was released and I absolutley love it. Recently, I snapped off the FX selector switch due to poor handling on my fault, but EVERYTHING on it works so great and sounds excellent after little over a year of pure playing hard and abuse. You won't be dissapointed, just take care of the damn thing!

my dxm06 rocked but i have no faders now and a leaky crossfader. the faders went after a year.

the dxm09 is awesome and it ISNT the same as the dxm06. there are lots of differences between the 2. the obvious ones are the extra channel and the level meters. the kills are also different and the cueing system. the 09 has fader start options and a cue tone knob which i personally think is pointless. the effects are also different, on the dxm06 u have 2 banks of 6 effects, 6 of these can be placed on the upfader channels ad the other 6 can only be placed on the mic input. on the dxm09 its drifferent u again have the 2 banks of 6 effects but all the effects can be assigned to any source or channel, so can actually use all 12 rather just 6 to effect the music like the dxm06. u also have a high pass and a low pass filteron the dxm09 where as the dxm06 only has lowpass, it can do this because of the ability to switch between 2 banks for all sources.

bare in mind the dxm09 was realsed a good couple of years after the dxm06 so therefore it is a slight improvement on it so although being in the same mixer family they do work slightly different.

Yeah man. Nice buy. I agree the FX it has are comparable to the ones on Pio's mixers. I dont know about the faders though, might crap, might not.

Hmm, well thanks for the replies. Hopefully mine will end up working as well for me as it has for Raveaddict19

My faders met their maker shortly after they met cereal and milk.

hey, since you knew this, I'd like to aske how the DXM01USB compares to the 09. I'm mainly looking for sound quality at a decent price. No need for efx and the like. when was the 01 released compared to the 09?

Does the 01 have switchable inputs per channel (Line/Phono)?

and last one: how the heck can an all-digital fader start to "leak"?

No way they are true digital faders. Digital Faders are EXPENSIVE- some of the vestax battle mixers have dig cross faders and they are super xpensive two channel, 2 eq mixers.. very basic, but very high quality-

quote from the numark site on the 01usb:

quote:

_ 100% 24-bit digital design _ >103dB S/N ratio _ Noise-free digital controls _ Numark D-Type crossfader _ All-digital fader

ok, that reads as if the line faders were digital, and the x-fader something else...not sure though

did you eat on your mixer?

Update: I returned the mixer. After 3 weeks, the fader started leaking HORRIBLY on the side I scratch on! So, I'm basically gonna just get the Mackie d.2 and be done with this crap

You cant have "digital faders" it just wont work. Digital either has to be a 1 or a 0, on or off. A fader will always be analog, it is also known as a slider potentiometer. Its just a variable resistor. you apply a voltage to one end, tie another end to 0v or ground, and the take a reference voltage from wherever the contacts are located. The mixers are digital, but the faders will always be analog, if they use the variable resistors/pontentiometers.

true, but aren't optical faders digital, even though they are still vca, the vca is being controlled by a digital device. alot of the non contact faders are like this.

You are absolutly correct, thats why I said variable resistors/potentiometers. Theres also magnetic faders.

yes so they ARE digital faders and you said there was no such thing.

...and that is why someone gets paid to design a digital cross fader that works...

BTW: I eat faders and cereal every morning to keep me strong.
I find P&G to be a healthy choice.

I had a dxm01 USB for a year and a half or two years. Not one single problem.
