All user reviews for the American Audio CK-800

- 1st advantage: very good quality semi-professional, value for money is simply the best in its class (359 euros to buy in Germany).
when you look at the price we are a little wary because of the pro brands offer similar products but at a price more than doubled.
so I took a risk but I'm not disappointed because in fact the quality is "almost" professional life.
Obviously, the dj "pros" will make the difference between this machine and products such as renowned pioneer, denon, vestax ...
difference in the life and finishing of components, options such effects, loop, scratch, speed detection, cd, execution of functions ...

Despite this, all the basic options needed for a good mix work perfectly: pitch, jog wheel pitch, instant start, cue, loop a perfect ... a pinch, but it lacks a feature to quickly scan a piece to get to desired cue point because the forward and backward buttons are not really convenient to move forward in a song.

- 2nd advantage: an important purchase criterion was that the product supports the mp3 function yet so recent unusual but brings a more significant: divide the number of cd in the case of 10! after, the downside is that you can not mix two mp3 on the same CD so they are almost 100 titles that will never be mixed together on each cd.

- 3rd advantage is compact enough to transport, it is convenient to travel in a backpack or flycase and mix well over the entire planet.

in short, for starting or for those (like me) who can not afford to buy pro at a price more than doubled, it is ideal.

after a few weeks of use / verdict: poor quality material at the life span of components. crossfader which cuts the bad and the jog wheel on the left works straightforwardly more. not great in fact. Fortunately, I quickly sold a buffoon who has not even seen the jog wheel not work. for the price in fact I am surprised not the quality.
