Need help finding a mixer on a budget. I've found a few examples. I know that I'm only going to get so much with the price range I'm looking at, but I'm trying to find the best option. 3 or more channels and under 200 bucks.



Examples:


Behringer DJX700


http://www.guitarcenter.com/shop/pr...l_sku=102475605

- 5 channel
- Built-in FX
- BPM Counter
- Kills


Gemini PDM-02


http://www.guitarcenter.com/shop/pr...l_sku=103640629

- 4 channel
- Built-in FX (look dumb though: applause, copter, etc.)
- 10-band EQ dual


Numark DM1200


http://www.guitarcenter.com/shop/pr...full_sku=800407

- 4 channel
- 6-band EQ dual







Any of these not suck, at their price range?

Also keep hearing that Vestax has good budget mixers.

Please recommend me some mixers that meet my (quite limiting) critera. Where am I gonna get the best bang-for-buck? Links / prices / pictures / descriptions / personal experiences appreciated.

try to look for a mixer with 3 band equalisers on each channel
those last 2 dont have it, they are very bad for dj use

you could get a reloop rmx30 mixer or an akiyama (forgot the model)

I'll have to look into it. Thanks.

some of the best mixers dont have eq's on them....you don't need EQ to dj well


my personal recommendation is save a bit more and get a vestax VMC-004XL they're AMAZING and worth far more than you pay

Behringer DJX-700. I have had mine for one year now, still in perfect working condition, averaged 3-4 hours of mixing a week since I have bought it. Never moved it. I recommend it.

however, working condition translates to quite shitty performance for this mixer, no offense.

another thing i don't get is why it is advertised as a 5 channel mixer? its 4 channels plus a damn mic as far as i can see.

i'd recommend saving up more man. seriously, don't buy something you'll regret down the road.

I'de definitely look at the Vestax PCV 275, i've owned it for three years, no big complaints other than the fact it doesn't work/sound too good with CDJs/Digital, it's really made for a TT, which I used to have. But it should last you a few years. Really no $200 mixer is one that will last you a long time, your much better off investing in something with a greater longevitity, something at least $300 on up. The ideal price for me on a mixer is $500 - $800, I wouldn't spend anything less or more nowadays. My next one is a Ecler Nuo 4, that's about $700, and it will last me at least 4 or 5 years until I can afford a completely digital mixer.

i have a numark dm3000x, i don't know if they're made anymore but it's a frickin tank. drinks spilled on it and it's still rollin'.
