Thanks!

I see (in your signature) you own a Numark X5. I've also considered that mixer but it was way out of my budget for a 2-channel mixer. How does it perform and sound quality?

Yes. Unbelievably, they actually don't move. My speakers are placed on a cushion mat to lessen vibration.

Yup got that covered. My current speakers set up are about 5-6" away from the wall.

is it touch screen?
Thanks! The Numark was a media player. The D2 Director. I used it for 3 years and it was very easy to set up. Sold in 2010 and got TSD then eventually upgraded to TSP. The dual CD player is a Denon DN-1800F.

02.09.2013		Refurbished my personal decks last June.















No additional gear yet though. But I have ordered a decksaver for my DJM-250, a pair of UDG dust covers for SL1200 and a V-Moda M100 (black shadow). All are on the way.

16.10.2012		What! It was out of your budget? ^^
I dont know the price outside of Germany but i paid only 150€ for mine in a ebayshop
The performance with this little mixer is just great when you are scratching or even mix normal
and from my perspective the x5 sounds very good much better than my old DJM800.

13.10.2012		For the last 5 months, I was contemplating on which 2-channel mixer to buy (http://www.djcommunity s.com/community s/showt...-channel-mixer). My choices were the Vestax VMC-002XLu & Pioneer DJM-250. Other mixers I considered were the American Audio QD-5 & DJ Tech DIF-1s (which is taking forever to be released). About 2 weeks ago I consulted my friend who works as a DJ (by evening ) and a sales representative (by day) at a local DJ store in Dubai suggested me to go for the DJM-250. After reading reviews from different site, I was convinced. So I asked him to pick up and test a unit for me and bring it when he goes home for a month vacation.

Yesterday I met him at the airport and finally my baby has landed.









After using it for straight 2-hour mixing and a few scratching, here my verdict.

Pros:
-The build looks very sturdy. It's metal all over.
-The hi/mid/low/gain knobs fell great as they are same to the DJM-800/850/900/2000.
-The CF when set to sharp, is really good.
-The individual filters are same found on the DJM-700/800.
-The additional auxiliary inputs 1, 2 & 3 are going to be very useful.
-XLR (balanced) output is the real scorer
-Fantastic sound output quality.

Cons:
-The channel faders are a bit loose. I would have preferred it to have a little resistance (but it's suppose to be a battle mixer anyway).
-No curve control for the channel faders (for its price, who would complain)
-No booth out
-Headphone monitoring lacks loudness in volume. This would be a problem at very loud environment(s)/clubs/open air venues. Using headphones with good insulation is a must

Overall, I'm very happy with this little (very straight forward) mixer.

just curios thats all
The company I worked for in 2006-2008 was the distributor of Ecler at that time. They sent me an Evo5 for personal and gig use. So technically, the Evo5 wasn't mine and had to return them before I resigned and transferred to another company. However, the Nuo5 was sold in 2007, in exchange for some other stuff (another hobby). I have kept the DJM500 all along as a backup mixer. Although I will be getting a 2-channel mixer that I can scratch with probably two or three months from now and upgrade it with Innofader.

I bought a Traktor Scratch Duo in early 2010 and upgraded to TSP a month later. I bought another audio4 for my wife (she's also a DJ) and installed the TSD in her laptop. That's why we have 2 audio4dj.
