UTILIZATION

Standard functions of mixer but found some extras described above (see specifications). The manual is adequate, except for the voice-over, or they say you can set it to an internal card, but c That's it, we need to find or ... (easily recognizable in output card) In contrast to the prog. 'internal switches (phono / line / voice over/48V), everything is precise and clear in instructions.

SOUNDS

What is striking about this console is silent operation: absolutely no hiss or hum in any "normal" output, ie 0 or 1 dB without input raccordée.Notons the 0dB VU meter here corresponds to an output level of +4 dB. Pushing everything thoroughly, means a slight noise, but really low. So the same excellence here.

When you read a CD means a small breath of recording quiet passages (when there is breath), it depends on CDs. Once you leave the CD, the breath disappears.

The sound is clear and precise, as fresh means any small echoes. Jolie dynamics (good potato), nice overall balance. To quibble, I would say that there is a slight lack of envelope, but this fault I find on almost all mixers, except exeptions.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 15 days since I use Having so many functions in so little space with a modular console. Hat!
What I've tried: a bit of everything, power (pms 212 pmp403 pmp803, PR1017) Freevox (dj club, antenna, club 10 club 6) amix, ecler SCLAT, gemini, jackson, a Dutch (j I forgot the name), etc ...
And she is doing well this D-MIX 1000, it has the heart of a large with small dimensions.
What I like? For its look, its features, ergonomics: Congratulations!
What I like least? The loss of large buttons or you can ask his big hands full of fingers. I would have liked a second master output. (You can always put a splitter output, it's true)

Note: finding a balance control R / L by a DJ table: not so obvious ... The D-Mix 1000 does! Personally, I use it to balance light sounds and more music and depending on the theme. Ca puts more and it personalizes the thing.

Price new: 19,000 francs, nearly 3000 euros Price of opportunity. See AF. Release year: 1996 memory.
