My question is what mixer would you guys recommend for me...I'm going to be buying second hand CD decks from a friend of mine (he's moving to vinyl), and I need to get myself a mixer. I can already beatmatch / mix quite ok, since I've had a lot of practice on his equipment.
These are the feautures I'm looking for in a mixer, nothing fancy, just the basics:
Kinda important features (most have a high duh-factor )
three way EQ / channel, prefferably with kill function (-26 / -32db). kill SWITCHES not needed
LED level meter per channel + main
crossfader (not really important, but nice to have)
VERY important:
quality faders, they have to be smooth, durable and not bleed
Overall a quality mixer that doesn't break / high durability
Value-for-money
I'm on a budget , so max price is 250,- euro
Basically I'm looking for a decent mixer within my pricerange. thnx
yeah I read the huge thread about them. they seem nice, but there were also a few people in there who complained about the (cross)faders, and overall quality of it. It looks cool though.
I don't need the BPM counters or killswitches, so I was thinking if there are any similar mixers with better durability and without those features in the same pricerange.
the EQs only go down to -16db -12 for the mids. i wish they went a little further.
but, it does have kill switches for each frequency.
you say you don't need them, and i thought i didn't either, but trust me, they rock.

Vestax PCV275 is a lot more expensive around here... I've seen them from 670 to 725 euro's ... Am I looking at the wrong shops or are mixers just a lot more expensive here?

You're kidding!? That's like $988 - 1069 Canadian.... and I've seen a PCV-275 here for around $700, and I thought *that* was a little too expensive.
Damn, that's unfortunate. It's really a sweet rack. Since you're in Europe though, shouldn't the Behringer be cheaper? Maybe you could check that out. I'm not too sure though. Hope I've helped.

look for a numark. i have the matrix3. still working fine for me. :P look sleek too.
definately get the behringer then. the price difference is because of of the availability where you live. Behringers are more common in Europe, so they'll be cheaper.
VMX 300 nu ook leverbaar
3 dual-input stereo channels, one switchable to mic level with auto-talkover function · Gain, 3-band kill EQ (-32 dB) and dedicated level meter per channel · Awesome QRS 3D stereo surround effect · Intelligent dual auto BPM counter with time and beat sync display · Front-panel 3-way kill switches with revolutionary keyboard-like tap & hold action · Super-smooth ULTRAGLIDE faders with up to 500,000 life cycles and full VCA control · Reverse switch for crossfader · Dedicated curve control for all faders · PFL function with PFL/Output balance control and split option
looks kinda nice, esp like the big faders, and it looks a lot less 'plastic' than the VMX300 which is € 286,79 ( OMFG )...but I have never even heard of the brand. Anyone know it...? is it reliable?
