That price really isn't going to help - very very few bedroom DJs are going to stump up the cash for that so they're limited to a few elite pros who might take it under their wing and take it on tour with them. I'm not convinced that market's big enough.
The only other major mixers I can think of which are that expensive are the DJM1000, which HAS won over the clubs thanks to its simplicity but also power as an install mixer and the Rane 68, which I don't know a lot about tbh, but strikes me as overpriced as well.
I think A&H could learn something from Pioneer about keeping the FX and fancy features out of the way on their mixers. On Pio mixers, if the DJ isn't interested in much more than the basics, they can easily ignore them. A&H mixers are renowned for being confusing to a lot of DJs, which I think is in part because the extra features get in the way - and none more so than on this mixer.
Of course I believe it's a DJ's responsibility to read up on technology and make sure they understand any equipment they might face, but most people just want to be able to turn up, play some tunes and go home again! |

Wont buy one because of the price but if the price was right i might consider it, down the line some time. |

I don't think it's going to cost over 2k.
We'll see but i'd be shocked! |

Do you even read what you type out before you his "submit"?
Why, in your esteemed opinion, does analogue need to die soon? |

Dude, you need to relax and realize there was a large amount of tongue in cheek with what Nortek posted. |
