Affordable 4ch mixer recommendations
Affordable 4ch mixer recommendations Posted on: 30.05.2012 by Meg Reinoehl Hey all,I'm in the market for a new DJ mixer and am considering a 4ch if I can find a decent and affordable one for around $500. So far, the Behringer DJX900USB and DDM4000 look like the most affordable options, but I've been reading a lot of bad reviews about their build quality (not surprising). I'm not looking for the fanciest mixer, just something that will last. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. | |

| Kiyoko Wellisch 31.05.2012 | I recommend checking out the Ecler Nuo 4.0 No frills, nice layout and built like an absolute tank. |
| Dannielle Dingey 30.05.2012 | If the DDM4000 is you current mixer, I can imagine you also loved the DJM600. On the other hand, if the OP is in need of a rugged, well sounding mixer that will last him a few years without problems...then he should get the Vestax instead... IMHO ! |
| Brunilda Kora 30.05.2012 | DJM 600 is a good, solid mixer with basic effects. But the DDM4000 is more fun than you can imagine. I've had both, and liked 'em both. It depends on why you DJ. If you are creative, and love the feeling you get when you put a great mix together, regardless of who hears you doing it, you'll go for the DDM4K. If you're a no frills, A>B mixing type of guy, who loves the feeling of people seeing you DJ and believe you're cool, you'll go for the DJM. |
| Dannielle Dingey 30.05.2012 | Forget about that DJM-600, it's rubbish in so many ways.... Go with the vestax suggestion ! |
| Meg Reinoehl 30.05.2012 | Good call on the Vestax VMC-004! I totally forgot about that one. Another friend of mine is convincingly making me consider a used DJM-600. |
| Layne Koop 30.05.2012 | Two no frills mixers that have good build quality, and good sound quality. 12" format - Vestax 004xl 19" format - Denon X500 |
