This mixer is amazing ! I like the ergonomic faders and the ability to switch Xfader extremes to different channels.
Price paid: £421
UTILIZATION
Once you get past the "OMFG" of all the knobs and stuff, it is all pretty much common knowledge really. Layout is pretty well designed, all knobs are in the right places, ie Gain, EQ's then effects, then PFL switch. All main volume controls along with the PFL control is at the top of the mixer as well. Headphones socket is on the front panel of the mixer so the cable does not get in the way of your mixing.
SOUNDS
Sound quality is much better than my Vestax, but it is my amp that lets me down (DANG NABBIT !) The mixer is designed for all genres' really, with the VCA XFader control for people that do all that turntablism stuff, but also has all the EQ's for people who just do general mixing. No effects unit on this one, but it does have an effects send and receive. The only problem I have found with it is the kill switches all go one way. I keep trying to flick the left kill switch to the left instead of the right
OVERALL OPINION
Damn good build quality, no gimmicky silver metallic paints or stupid stickers and such. Also does not have a mounting flange, cos not everyone needs it... comes seperately tho :P The little switches are made of plastic, and look like they may break if some pressure was applied, but better than the pathetic little kills on my old Vestax.
Well, it cost me £420 so it is closer to my heart than my blood is. Third mixer I have had, and have been working towards this mixer for 5 months since I started DJing, and now that I have it, I aint lookin at another mixer :] Pioneer ? PAH ! :P
