The N4 got a very good review from digitaldjtips & I would trust Phil's opinion more than people who have just seen a picture of it.

Yes the Denon is probably better build quality & smaller - but if you look after your stuff then the N4 is decent.

Here's a review from Karim @ djbooth.net

I agree. Probably your best bet would be to find a store that has them and go check them out in person.

Yes since it doesn't JUST look like a toy, it feels like one too.

If it looked like one but felt like pro gear then you can get past the looks.

The build quality is awesome...the default traktor mapping is pretty darn good, and having a dedicated filter AND gain knobs in addition to the 3 EQS is very nice (for how I like to mix).


Could any n4 user share his experience of n4 with traktor..also is the denon inbuilt soundcard capable of running a ful pa system as in a club

07.01.2013		Hands down. Go for the MC3000.

07.01.2013		The build quality is far more important than the looks. And the Denon is miles ahead of the Numark in both.

06.01.2013		Agreed, the N4 is way too plasticy even by Numark standards. The MC3000 may even be better than the S2 for build quality.

05.01.2013		that completely depends on how the club has set up, my club always has a djm-900 hooked to a behringer eurodesk SX4882 as the last stage before the amps, if this is the case for you as well it should be no problem to hook up the mc3000 or the n4.

04.01.2013		Out of those I prefer the Numark, lots more features.
The Denon is built very well and more portable though, just depends what your preference is.
