Yes Audigy, it´s supposed to work that way, but I think that attenuation is veeery low till you reach the second zone. I prefer a linear knob.
About the broken channel, it has no solution i think, because it worked ok and suddenly, without touching anything, it stopped sounding.

About that bass knob thing....if you change basses suddenly betwen tracks, u'll have no problem with it, but if you fade basses from one track to another u'll have to get used to it's curve. I don't think the curve it's a problem, it's something that you get used to. But if the bass knob cuts some of the mid range frequency, or doesen't cut enough, I mean at least 20db, then you have a problem.
And what about the curve on the mid and high knobs? Is it the same?

I'm preaty interested in this thread cuz I think I'm gonna buy a VMX200 this summer, witch is preaty much the same to VMX300 (except kill switches and that extra chanel).

Mids and highs are more linear, however the drawing in the knob is the same as the one painted by audigy. In my opinion filters have not enough step, EQing in vmx-300 is a bit bad, my best advice is go to a local shop, play a tune, turn totally down the bass and hear it yourself, then compare with another mixer in the same price range, since I´ve not compared this mixer with any other similar in price.

If the VMX300 is anything like the DX626, I would NOT buy it. The faders on my 626 are already starting to get that crackling sound and I've not even had it for two months!

Actually, all of the EQ knobs are setup the way I drew. But I agree that it would be best to go try out mixers yourself; our opinions and preferences may or may not reflect your own.

I have the gemini, i have no complaints, its not amazing but then again its not shit, it does the job which is all that matters, and my mixer is the last on my upgrade list.

And yeah you can still buy them just type it into google or ask and you will find them for sale

I'm very happy with my PS-626i. I have had it for over a year and it is as good as new.

If you want sound quality, get an A&H, you get what you pay from budget mixers. Just save up some extra cash and get a Vestax PCV.

Don't know about he VMX300 but the DJX700 is a total crap they say and I have the DX626, did it well, always was satisfied, but now after 9/10 months the fader on channel two has that crackling noice and if I'm not gentle I'll only get sound out of my left box! Then when I touch the fader again the sound will come out of both boxes but it makes that shitty noice

superb decision best mixer around IMO (for what I do at least)


personally i wouldn't touch behringer or gemini, you'd be better off going for something like a stanton which will at least still work in 2 years time and if you upgrade it'll make a reasonable spare mixer or you'll get some cash on e-bay if you're not still using it... in 2 years time no one's gonna want your vmx300 cos it'll be in pieces (slight over exaggeration maybe, but i've known the channels to die within 6 months)

worst of the lot is the djx700... people SERIOUSLY think that they're getting a djm600 with a different badge on it, but the £450 you save translates to at least half a decade off the shelf life and sound quality akin to rubbing a record with a sewing needle pierced through a yoghurt pot
