UTILIZATION

In use, the quality is at the appointment.
The table is a simplicity of use such that it is even no need to open the manual to find them all.
But since it is an empty table table like any analog and analog, it does not have the effect of other sections of small tables numriques well known.

The knobs are lines of flexibility and an impressive precision and quality of sound to rival many competing brands ...
The crossfader is also trs reliable, and has more of a step that marks the center position.

The manual that came with the table is also easy to ACCS and clear. And above all in French!

SOUNDS

I was looking for an analog desk with its high quality and well I used the.
I wanted to find the quality and the sound of my old Freevox DJ7 (true) that I sold 7 years ago when I just stopped.
With its clear trs with a hit and a dynamic poustouflante this table I was immediately won over.
And the icing on the cake, not a breath is heard when you go up the knobs and the headphone volume on the PBL.
In short, a rgal!
And correcting serious and acute mdiums are trs efficases despite correction + or - 13 dB.

OVERALL OPINION

I reu this marvel about 15 days ago and since it is happiness.

Before purchasing this table, I tried a Pioneer DJM 500 and a Denon DN-X 1500. But I am not able to make me the sound of these little tables numrique management.
I wanted to recapture the spirit of my Freevox, so I chose this Rodec APRS have cost.

The price of this table is relatively consquent, since it is 1790 Euros for this version of the MX180.
This is expensive since the standart version (the MK3) is 1390 Euros.
But remember that this version is a limit SERIES 500 units worldwide on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the brand, and after all the quality and the love of his worth such an investment ...

So buying a pure pleasure and the certainty of having a pice of collection endowed, like the sisters, the best of the brand.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this console for one month, I already had the opportunity to play on it some time ago in a club at the same way as the MX 180MK3 or other models of marque.Je have chosen for his first look and also for the exellent sound as it develops throughout the Rodec. At first I wanted to take a classic MX 180 MK 3 but I have broken my piggy bank for the Limited, with the certainty of having a museum piece ( 500 copies in the world) Finally it is always a treat to mix in general on the Rodec, the purchase of the Limited is a pure personal pleasure and I am a bit disappointed not to see often in the club, what a pity!
