Originally written by Droopy5915 on Audiofanzine FR.

Rack mixer with optional mounting brackets.

Master out on XLR and RCA connectors. Three phono inputs and nine line inputs.
Effects processor

For other features, read the specs sheet


UTILIZATION

Easy to use: you don't need to read the manual for the main applications.

On the other hand, the sampler and loop functions require that you take a look at the manual.
FX processor simple to use.


SOUNDS

The pots and faders generate noise after a few months of use.
The EQ is not impressive, especially the kill function for the lows :S

Same thing regarding noise: in the beginning, I didn't notice but after few months of use, it's impossible to ignore it.


OVERALL OPINION

I bought it new in 2005. In the beginning, I liked the FX processor with its jog wheel but the effects became boring so I don't use them anymore.

I already owned two other Numark mixers (DM3050 and DMX09). I tried out Gemini, Technics and Eclerc mixers. Gemini products provide the same quality as Numark. Technics and co. are much better but also more expensive.

I sold it to buy an Allen&Heath Xone 42. Nice!

Summary: I was particularly disappointed by the FX processor and the EQ.

The manufacturing quality is not good enough to withstand years of use.
Based on my experience, I wouldn't buy it again.

It's better to spend a couple of bucks more for a better mixer to avoid problems after some months of use.

Character no problem with that table.
Sorry for the unlucky who have fallen on bad lots.
Very good restaurant in its current price or Cygnus.
Of course, everyone can not put between 600 and 1000 euros for other brands tables so do not hesitate, NUMARK remains a serious brand.

NB: For those who have concerns with the faders of the tracks of their tables, there are two products, in my opinion, essential to any DJ: first, dry air bomb Duster,
the second lubricating bomb to electric tracks, found at specialty shops or electronics (eg CONRAD).

The tracks potentiometers (some to be their brand) are sensitive to temperature, humidity, vibration and dust.

IN A NUTSHELL: Pamper your MATOS!
and away the curious who roam around your precious gear .....

NOTICE GLOBAL


Frankly for the price of the ball !!!!!!

I really hsiter with Pioneer, but after more inquiry
in shops, my choice was heading for the Numark.

What emerges from this table is its precision and its effectiveness for the effects.

My rating 10/10 because 500 is s'clate like crazy lil and it takes a real pleasure mix!

A single point ngatif is BPM counters in the table, there is a tjrs dcalage 1 BPM counters compared to my CDJ 200.

In short, that happiness! and soon we made it!
