Hi ive checked 3 pages of threads and havent seen a "What mixer thread" but im sure theres been one :P

In A few months i can get a pair of technics *YAY* Its been clear they are the best to get, period. They are going to be my first decks, however its not so clear what mixer i should get.

Any suggestions? Or things to look out for. Say £100-250 (Sorry dont know that in dollars)

tar

Try looking at either the Vestax PMC-270a or the Vestax 170a...I got the PMC-270a and its a quality mixer....look around and see what you like...the Vestax should be in your price range depending on where you get it...

good luck

If you can save longer and stretch a bit more, get the Allen & Heath Xone 32.. Quality mixer!

and look for the dateq XTC !

(a nice detail: it is sized to technics )

Pioneer DJM600 OMG you wouldnt believe the power of this equipment...go to www.musicfactory.com and do a search for DJM-600

i agree the pioneer one is good. i personally have the new stanton RM-100 and i highly recommend it. its half the price of the pioneer cause it doesnt have that BPM counter

does anyone know the difference between the Vestax PMC 270a mixer and the PMC 27mkii besides price?

thanks :D

I just started myself with the Technics MKIIs and I use the Pioneer DJM-300. It's simple and easy to use, plus it will be a good starter for when I eventually move up to the DJM-500 or 600 (since they are all made by Pioneer).

One thing I noticed about the DJM-300 that I liked more than the Vestax 170A is that the EQs are balanced on all 3 ranges and they are full-kill EQs (the 170A) is not. Of course, the Vestax is 3 channel and the DJM-300 is only 2 channel but if you're just starting out, a 2 channel mixer should be fine. Anyone else have the DJM-300?

I heart my Gatecrasher!

Everyone I know that mixes in my area use pioneer mixers, and I've seen them used in clubs as well. As a basic mixer the DJM-300 is an excellent buy. Good EQ's and high quality sound, the headphone monitor settings are pretty sweet also. You could probably get one for around 250pounds..

I'm also using a Pioneer mixer... It's the DJM-500 paired with some 1200m3d's. The x-fader is really nice on the Pioneer and so is the EQ.

FYX...im am also from the midwest and that what EVERYONE uses...your right...it pioneer djm600 everywhere you go!
