I guess everyone can read the technical documentation, p.

7 / 10, because a small effect section would have been nice, even if it is not the purpose of the table and it generates a small extra cost;). The Mic Input not editable Line / CD / to

UTILIZATION

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- The general configuration is it simple?</span>
As the majority of tables is extremely simple

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- The usual functions are they easily accessible?</span>
Yes, except that the equalizer knobs are a little too close, so fingers rub the other

I did not even open

SOUNDS

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- The console is transparent?</span>
No it is not plexi. Rotten joke aside, I would say that I did not hear a particular sound (although it takes a HIFI system to really hear the distinctions.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- Introduced she breath?</span>
At low speeds it does not create breath (or very low), high wind regime appears, but if there is music, then it will not be noticeable;).

Completely, with good linearity.

OVERALL OPINION

Good already at the table with a stunning visual mouth, she has class. but hey you do not ask him to have primarily a great look, but a good sound with a perfect behavior, is this the case, we shall see.

The ergonomics of the table remains traditional, and therefore saw no denying that this is very effective to use. The cross fader and are well placed. rounding of the front is nice. The meters are fully prepared and a beautiful blue. For it is only against blue and no distinction of color when you exceed the 0dB mark, there must not abuse, but how we see that the distortion created Mr. Mackie, it takes the number of LEDs.

In the good news potentiometers are fluids with a slight resistance (nickel), the faders are too flexible &#39;can be a bit too, but hey), the cross slides perfectly and promises at scratch (it is even adjustable in its hardness).

Gains kill the sound, and are quite swift.

The table has a light at the knobs of the equalizer, a beautiful blue (like the meters). It thus has a big advantage in use at night, in the dark (the reverse is also indicated by a double set of LEDs for each fader / cross, and the FX button).

The master volume is very fast against him by, and few straight early in the race (that from a stroke).

The PFL system is very convenient, however, PFL and fader too low by almost linear at once, so you have to go slowly to ease a path relative to another.

The crossfader is very effective in the scratch, since short stroke, a displacement of 1 mm is enough to send full-throttle, pure happiness.

The faders are not linear, they quickly attenuate the sound. And personally I would reverse the system running the faders, meaning that it is necessary to short stroke the fader down almost to decrease the volume, I have seen the opposite, choosing to lower the volume quickly from the top of the fader.

Using the switch "Transform" seems doubtful / special at first, but it should not be made to spare to give effect CUT nice on vocals, melodies and instrumentals.

I find it a shame not to have a little more separate knobs for adjusting headphone, FX and master1 / 2.

Audiofanzine the test, it was said that this table quite heated, well no, not more than SM2 pro or DJM-400

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- Have you tried many other models before buying it?</span>
Ecler Smac First, SM2 pro Numark, Pioneer DJM-400, Vestax PMC-280 Pro and Ecler Nuo3.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- How would you rate the quality / price?</span>
In the end I would say that this table is very well made, especially for those who love the scratch (you must try it), and good for the mix too, but it will be at the EQ knobs too close and in view meter to know the level of dB. A € 500 with the optional Firewire, this table has a very good price / perf / quality. As against this report is less attractive on the D2 pro because it takes more than € 300 (firewire integrated and different), but now I think it&#39;s exaggerated, it is the price of a good sound card.

Yes, even if I wait to see what the years will make him suffer
