Price range? How many channels do you need? Are you going to scratch at all or just mix? What are you going to hook to it? Do you need an effects loop? This is a good sounding mixer with optical crossfader for very cheap if you only need 2 channels: http://cgi.ebay.com/Numark-Pro-SM-2-Professional-DJ-Mixer-SM2-VG-NR-L-K_W0QQitemZ7411770631QQcategoryZ14986QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your price range? Are you looking for something higher-end like Ecler, Allen & Heath, Pioneer, Rane...etc. Or, are you more like into getting a Numark, Gemini, Stanton, etc...?

Members Locky Posted May 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2006 that one looks good.. but i need individual kill switches for high lows and mids.. and thats only got faders.. any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6ftabovsealevel Posted May 15, 2006 Members Share Posted May 15, 2006 If you're sure you want the toggle type kill switches of course there are mixers out there that have them, but I think you'll notice that most of the high quality gear that would still be in your budget will have either the linear fader type like the Xone or the traditional rotary knob. The supposed advantage to the toggle switches in their instant cut off/on of the affected frequency can also be a disadvantage in that the actual sound produced when making this transition can come out like a click and can be a lot more noticable than a fade, which can be done just as quickly and isn't nearly as mechanical sounding. Some mixers with a fader/knob eq interface will also have an eq engage toggle switch which can be used the same way, but that's a little extra work for the fingers. If you're set on the switches, I think I'd check out a Denon DNX-300. I looked around a little bit and everything else I saw that had them said Gemini or Stanton on it, and I wouldn't recommend any of their stuff to someone who'd be willing to spend $600 on a mixer. Personally, I think insisting on that type of input is really going to limit you in what is available to choose from and you'll probably end up getting a lesser quality mixer than you might otherwise. It just seems like you find those mostly on the toys, not the gear designed with fidelity and performance in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members djprimeminister Posted July 3, 2006 Members Share Posted July 3, 2006 i would go with the denon or maybe check out the blue numarks they aren't so bad for the money.......I would personally get the djm400 mixer and just use the eq knobs they kill and it's way more smoother to twist the knob then kill with toggles imo..
