Anybody know much about Numark Mixers?
Anybody know much about Numark Mixers? Posted on: 19.04.2011 by Alisa Neuder I am in the market for a mixer, currently just use the gear at the club I work at. I am only first hand familiar with pioneer and native instruments gear. Have been looking at some basic mixers, all I really want from my mixer is volume faders, EQ knobs and microphone input. The entry to mid range Numark mixers are way cheaper than anything Pioneer has (have been looking at the DJM 400 or 350). Just would like to know if anyone has any experience or words of advise? Also if there are any other brands and models for someone on a budget.Also I have an X1 and plan to use Traktor | |

| Breanne Penge 26.04.2011 | Had a DXM01, and it was a workhorse. Still have it actually...but I found a DXM06 for cheap so I upgraded. Both have been fine - I like the replaceable faders....though I have since learned to take the fader out and clean it properly. Bonus - they come apart easy my '06 seeing a bit of action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFmOHT0aOTU |
| Birgit Gondal 26.04.2011 | I have the M3, which for a cheap and cheerful mixer is fine, it doesnt do anything special, hell it doesnt even have filters! I kinda wish i'd saved my money and got a Behringer DDM4000... |
| Vernie Beharry 25.04.2011 | Numark X6 (updated from the DXM6) - Had it for 3 years now. - Pretty good build. The effects are fun to mess with. The faders are a bit sketchy, but take care of it and it will last a while. Recommend switching out the Xfader (If your scratch heavy) with the D-Type from Numark, or innofader/Pro X-Fade (pricey for an upgrade, but worth it). Vestax PMC 06 Pro (aka Mix Stick) - had for 6 years. - Solid Vestax Build. Minimal controls, but well placed for scratching/Controllerist routines. Quite possibly one of my favorites from the Vestax Line. Left at a friends place, and forclosed on the property. . .I miss that lil sucker! Xone:22 - played around with it for 2 years (old dj crew). - Great mixer. 2nd to the Vestax 06 as one of my favorites. Kinda self explanatory here. |
| Alisa Neuder 23.04.2011 | Thanks for your replies guys just what I was looking for. Will take your advise on board and look into the mixers mentioned above. Cheers |
| Maryanne Weatherill 21.04.2011 | As what has been said numarks are a great budget mixer i know a couple of lads using cm100's still. To be fair cm100's have very little to go wrong in them (no high, mid, low control). Baiscally numarks do what they say on the box and not much more Id go for the xone 22 i have used one very nice for some reason though i dont like the look of the power supply:S |
| Matha Obray 20.04.2011 | Ive seen they are hot an miss. But if u take care of them i bet they will be fine and last for a while. Im picking up a dmx06 today cuz i know a guy who beats that thing and it still works |
| Lory Buffkin 20.04.2011 | own a numark x9 ive found the three faders to be rather loose( i prefer a smooth glide) a bit of modding fixed that but.Also the EQ knobs are also not as smooth as i would like them to be.Having said all of that though 4 a budget entry level mixer it does what it says on the tin and the effects are not to shabby either love the tape echo |
| Loyce Mekonen 19.04.2011 | I have the Numark X1 USB. It's pretty solidly built with very nice sturdy knobs, and decent faders and crossfader. What's really cool about it it's that it has 2 usb inputs to which you can route the audio from your pc... dunno if you need that though but I believe it's a cool feature to have on this digital days. |

| Kristin Tesfamichael 19.04.2011 | yeah I have a Numark DXM06(same thing as the X6 just different color) that I've had for about a year now. pretty decent little mixer the only problem Ive had is that the AC Adapter broke last week. |
