Best value: Excellent
- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
Console while a beautifully crafted, with good ... beautiful ... backlit buttons, faders that appear robust.

- For what purpose?
Evenings: all animation (old. ..) style 30 to 300 people
House: electro mix on my couch, where the desire for a console not too large.

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Motherboard: Dell XPS 400 / Dimension 9150 Chipset: Intel Lakeport i945P
CPU: DualCore Intel Pentium D 920 2800MHz
RAM: 2 GB
Disc: Extra USB plugged in (not supplied)
I should add that I bought a transformer to power the optional console.

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) do you use the connection and how?
Evening all depends of the evening, but tested on a large (at my level) system on Saturday, behringer mixer entry 750 (with RCA), and from there: equalizer output to 2 / 2 amps / 8 columns we speak / XLR. (About 3000 watts output, but I have more names in mind.)

Very good sound, despite the mp3 to 128 bits, the volume remains in against much lower in comparison with a CD player plugged into the same table (so-sure to gain ....)
Note also that the microphone volume even at maximum is not very strong.

Installation done smoothly, drivers recognized immediately (I'm on Win XP), setup is relatively easy (assignment files provided and midi learn) by against the manual is not very thick and assignment of LED application search (not found any official information, so I had to fiddle a bit, see section tips)
A small downside to nitpick ... Cue lots of buttons sth, sometimes for very different functions that helps a little confused ...

The drivers seem stable, had no concern for latency yet I am at least (you must stop the cons by antivirus programs and asking a lot of resources.
I use this console with traktor pro, despite being on Virtual DJ since its inception. But virtual DJ does not support (for now ...?) not LED, and with a nice camera like that would be fished to see them light up ....... but if not tested with Virtual downloadable assignments and everything works great.

I use it for some months, but Saturday she finally served at a party with a real installation as the level that light, which allows me to post after what she really tested in the stomach as well as readers CDs were installed and ready to turn, these have served only 10 minutes in the early evening, time to stop the antivirus and Ad-Aware, I had forgotten to do.

I have the EKS XP10 specifically designed for Virtual DJ, since their inception. and it's a bit the only comparison I have, but that's what I like the numark above all: the quality of the buttons I regretted against the jogs of XP10.

But this machine has an excellent value for money, and if I had I redeem one tomorrow.
