:wtf: Sorry to start another mixer thread but oh well :)
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. |

Vestax PCV275 is a good mixer.
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. |

| 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. |

what do you guys think about this mixer?
Magnedine MAG-10
- Three band EQ per channel(-26dB)
- Level + beat LED per channel
- 100mm faders :D
- Price € 269,00
looks kinda nice, esp like the big faders, and it looks a lot less 'plastic' than the VMX300 which is € 286,79 ( :eek: OMFG )...but I have never even heard of the brand. Anyone know it...? is it reliable? |
