UTILIZATION

I use it for a year, I started mixing and scratching it. It's a good table for beginners, especially since it is not CHRE. Gnrale configuration is very simple, standard trs.

Crossfader optics, quality trs average, cut 1 mm (configuration scratch), but becomes less and less flexible over time, even in the cleaner. In addition, the knob is easily bar when I scratch. the crossfader is aging badly, after a year of intensive use (minimum 1 hour scratch / day), rpond less efficiently and do more as short cut.

The faders are mdiocres their rponse is not linear, and few prcise. However, they are flexible trs, trs but seem fragile.

The knobs are however good quality with good precision and good positioning on the table. The kill function is apprciable.
The usual functions are quickly assimilated.

The manual is in English only, but is relatively clear.

SOUNDS

The good of the table: the sound. For an entry-level, it has a trs good sound, clean. The qualiseurs are truly effective and prcis. There is no breath.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year.
What I like most is its sound and many outputs.
Before you write this opinion, I have a test TTM56 Rane, a Tascam XS8, a Numark DXM 06, a Numark DXM Pro, and Ecler Hak 320.
The ratio quality price is right, we must not expect a monster for that price l.
With exprience, and for the use I make (mix, scratch, beat juggling), I turned to a plutt stanton SA3, or a more upscale product used.
