Audience:
Beginners
- Is the rack?
Yes on 19''
- How many lanes, bus attendant, departures, returns ...)?
Oula lot: 4 mic inputs, 6 line input, 3 phono, 2 master outputs, an output / input and send eff eff return to mono RCA input jack 6.35ø (to connect with another machine, no doubt ..).
- What is the type of connectors (RCA, Jack, XLR ...)?
RCA for everything, except for the pickups that are RCA and XLR.
- The parametric equalizer is it?
10-band equalizer (5 for the left, 5 for the right) with Bypass
- The effects section is it integrated?
Yes! Scratch effects: D, ok it is good but very rarely and in moderation ^ ^
I put 10 of 10 for the number of connectors (13 inputs and a send / return eff) of a table also inexpensive: it's really rare to have so many options and possibilities at this price.
UTILIZATION
- The general configuration is it simple?
For someone who starts in the mix, sincerely, it will be completely lost with this table if it does not receive the advice of people knowing. Bon ok in terms of co crossfader and the configuration is simple, but if you want to start connecting a box effect (RCA mono then need an adapter) you must enter a maximum (this was my case ... ^ ^). Same for the preview at the beginning you could see the buttons that were useless .. ah bah to the fact that for the preview ... ditto for the 6.35 rear that serves just about anything but can still offer an additional option if you ask
- The usual functions are they easily accessible?
Yes, everything comes together perfectly when you mix, but does he first know all the functions of the table ...
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
I could never have even contacting bst internet which referred me a sheet-_-As I said above, it is better to know people who know the configuration bst, or you'll spend some time to explore fully the table ...
I put 8 out of 10 for its use, although it is hard to understand, once understood, everything comes together perfectly
SOUNDS
- The console is transparent?
Ie? Physically? NO lol, in my humble opinion it is visible to over 200 m ^ ^
If that's the sound, I do not detect parasite especially when I mix (well have to go on earnings molo equalizer and if of course it can saturate)
- Introduced she breath?
When I push all the gains and faders to the bottom as well as equalize means a lot of blows (are there any tables that do analog entroduisent not in this case?). But when the noise level is set normally, you definitely need the headset for quite some time to realize that this is a slight buzz.
- The equalizer is effective?
Me he's fine, but be taken lightly if you do not want to saturate some dominant frequencies.
I put 8 out of 10 because its level is far from being the best, but at that price I can not complain.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
This will soon be 4 months with regular use.
- What is so special that you like most and least?
The +: the send / return eff, through the preview and microphone input, setting the eff send and return on each mic input and output master, the four main entrances to the crossfader configurable, and finally the price!
The - I'm still not exactly what is behind the jack 6.35ø, eff and send / return RCA mono are so very annoying for connections that requires dual RCA adapter => RCA mono
Note the small plug to plug a lamp dj, bein useful if you're really in the dark
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
Personally, for about 170 euros, compared to existing tables, I think it has more channels and opportunities (eff, PFL ...). Of course if you aim a Pioneer DJM-800 as the base table, the 40 Activ is crappy, but the budjet is not the same: - /
- With experience, you do again this choice?
For the price when I bought it no problem! Recommended for beginners who want plenty of options for reasonably priced, or for an additional table in semi-pro. However do not expect to keep more than 2 years if you're really into the djing: the presence of non-digital effects eventually tiring at times (luckily caught it by the connection of an effects box).
I put 9 out of 10 in general, because I find that table really not bad. Fortunately bst has a bad reputation, so I think this table would be easy now new 250-300 euros (marked with "tehcnics" it would be worth over 500 XD, but it's good technics technics, quality is quality ^ ^)
