SOUNDS

NIKEL

OVERALL OPINION

It is a very good restaurant in almost every way for a price of 450 euros (ebay store).
It is ideally suited to electronic music, but watch out for any dj hardcore or speedcore (industrial type, high or low in the medium), because the console tends to saturate at some mix, resulting in a medium unfaithful to the music and which is very unpleasant to the ear (this is fairly rare but can surprise you in live performance). Otherwise, I will try to list its flaws because its qualities were much too long (and I agree with prior reviews). The kills are pretty effective but occasionally creak when used repeatedly or if you have a bit of delay in the onset. The cutoff frequency of the knobs is slightly insufficient for my taste, 20 to 25 db would have been better (but I quibble ...).
A report switch phono / line are very good qualities and can be used directly to introduce a sound (no cracking, no side effects). Faders and the cross are very robust. Having previously mixed with a vestax pcv 275 and a tascam x9, I find that the frequency extremes are well treated. Audio Converter (despite the small problem described above) is very good for a table of this award and it is not even intimidated by extreme tempos. Indeed, I sometimes mix up to 350-400 bpm and the sound quality remains intact unlike Vestax who implore you to return to 33 turns (although I'm not crazy, but my usual tempos are more in 200bpm).
On the mainframe, the power supply hums a little so it will think about investing in an external power stablisée mix it will remove the maimum of your devices ...
For the price, it may not have all the features that some brands offer, but the quality of its components, thoughtful ergonomics, reliability and accuracy of this mix are probably one of the values ​​among the safest tables less than 500 euros.
