Recommendation for mixer
Recommendation for mixer Posted on: 10.10.2010 by Keenan Batth Hello! I'm fairly new to DJTT, but this seems like it could be the place for a question such as this I'm believeing of purchasing a mixer for permanent use on one of the dance floors at the club I'm working at. The main purpose of it is to act as a step between a computers sound card and the eq/amps. If a DJ brings his own gear and has a sound card that by default outputs a signal at maximum level the volume can get insanely (as in possible ear damage) high, should he forget to turn down the master volume in the software. Having a mixer should provide more control. The secondary purpose is to enable two DJs to play after another without downtime, or switch back and forth. Thinking about it I don't actually remember if the eq also works as a limiter... anyway, I'm quite simply wondering if you have any recommendations for a small mixer. It doesn't have to be fancy, don't need more than two channels, just need to be durable and of good quality. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks! | |

| Hang Postman 12.10.2010 | http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...2_Channel.html Can't go wrong with the vestax mixers, it even has the different I/Os for dvs setups |
| Keenan Batth 11.10.2010 | Searching yielded mostly talk about higher end 4-channel mixers. Thanks for the tip about the Xone 22 though, it looks good and I will definitely consider it. |
| Cammy Clegg 10.10.2010 | search button is your friend... |
| Audrey Pinda 10.10.2010 | Just throwing this out there, but from what I've seen a Xone: 22 is a pretty solid 2 channel mixer that might be perfect for your setup. Good sound quality, and nothing really "special" or extra that you wouldn't need. |
