  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  (Originally written by mono-core/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  This mixer can't be mounted in a rack.
  
  
  
  It has four channels with phono RCA input, line RCA input and one line input jack (two 1/4" TS jack). On the front panel you've also got an instrument and an XLR input with phantom power.
  
  
  
  Fader and crossfader curves are adjustable. The included software allows you to adjust the curve of each fader separately.
  
  
  
  The EQ works with preset modes.
  
  
  
  Each channel and the master have an effects section and a tempo-synced sampler.
  
  
  
  The Firewire port allows you to use the mixer as a sound card (up to 192-kHz sampling rate).

  Utilization

  Used as a classic mixer:
  
  
  
  You'll master it within 30 minutes. Settings are quick and easy, no sweat.
  
  
  
  The headphone output level is rather low.
  
  
  
  Used as a sound card:
  
  
  
  Things get a bit more complicated. You get almost no information about how to set it but you'll find out if you're patient.
  
  
  
  The sampler is disabled when you work at high sample rates.

  Sounds

  There are several EQ modes.
  
  
  
  Depending on the mode the EQ will be more or less effective.
  
  
  
  I can't say anything regarding noise because the speakers I use (EVP-X15P) already generate a bit.

  Overall Opinion

  The mixer still works perfectly after one year of use.
  
  
  
  <ul>Pros:
  
  
  
  This DJ mixer can also be used as a home studio mixer
  
  
  
  Effect module on each channel and the master
  
  
  
  Firewire sound card
  
  
  
  Midi controller (all buttons and controls are implemented)
  
  
  
  Excellent sampler</ul>
  
  
  
  <ul>Cons:
  
  
  
  Headphone output not loud enough
  
  
  
  Gain controls affect the channel level and the level of the signal sent to the computer. This means that when you use timecode vinyl records you'll have to use one channel to set the gain and another one for the return from the computer
  
  
  
  </ul>
  
  
  
  I tested some other products (Pionner DJM800, Ecler NUO5).
  
  
  
  Good value for money considering you get a Midi controller, a Firewire sound card and a mixer with effects and sampler.
  
  
  
  I would buy it again with my eyes closed.

  mono-core's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  This table n is not rack (to my knowledge)
  
  
  
  c is a path with four on each channel between a line from a RCA phono rca jack and a line between (2 x 6.35 Mono) faade in there as a jack between guitar and that a power supply with XLR fantme
  
  
  
  the race of fader and crossfader is adjustable (a well-cut ) The race of each fader is adjustable thanks to software provided independant
  
  
  
  eq is the mode according paramtrable prdfini
  
  
  
  there is a section of effect on each channel and on the sampler and a master tempo sync
  
  
  
  there have a firewire port that converts the mixer into soundcard working vritable has frquences of 192kHz max

  Utilization

  In normal use mixer:
  
  
  
  no worries in just 30 minutes it is practically in hand adjustments are quick and easy no worries
  
  
  
  the level of headphone is quite low
  
  
  
  sound card in use
  
  
  
  the thing is complicated by the no information (or some trs) of the possible settings but with a bit of good TNAC you get there
  
  
  
  when working a sampler of the lev frquence is disabled

  Sounds

  There are several EQ mode but the change is not transparent.
  
  it is more or less effective depending on the selected mode.
  
  
  
  in terms of breath I can not comment because the speakers (TEU-x15p) on which it is connected already produced some breath so I would say that if it produces it produces less than pregnant

  Overall Opinion

  After more than a year of more or less intensive use, it works like new
  
  
  
  <ul> most
  
  dj table that doubles as a table for the home studio
  
  effect block on each channel and the master
  
  firewire sound card
  
  controller noon (every knob and button on each channel can be used)
  
  sampler excelling </ul>
  
  <ul> the least
  
  headphone level not aseez elev
  
  Gain adjusts the level of the line but also between the level of which is then sent to the PC for use with vinyl timecode track must be used to adjust the gain for a good quality of use and another for the received from his pc
  
  </ul>
  
  
  
  d in a've tried a few (pioneer DJM800, ecler nuo5)
  
  
  
  qualitprix the report is not bad for Euro 1150 was a controller twelve one firewire sound card with a mixer and sampler effect so it will
  
  
  
  I would do this choice eyes closed
