Good mixer to sit between two X1s?
Good mixer to sit between two X1s? Posted on: 12.08.2012 by Madelene Witek I'll soon be getting the X1's for this set, and using a mixtrack as the mixer, but that's only temporary.What is a good Mixer, that doesn't cost like 3 grand, doesn't have to be a djm, something just good and hopefully isn't too expensive. If you suggest something, please say why! I use Traktor. And mix mostly electronic music. Preferably 4 channel, so this can last me a long time. (If there is another thread for this, I must have missed it, link me! sorry in advance). | |
| Romelia Stankard 12.08.2012 | There are lots of great 4 channel mixers for that price used but you will need to add an audio interface... A used DNX1600 is probably your best bet and you can probably find one for 750ish. remember the DNX1500 doesn't have an audio interface so you would need to add a soundcard (used audio 8s go for like $200) |
| Ming Devis 12.08.2012 | second hand xone 92 |
| Alla Bluemke 12.08.2012 | Why not get a used DJM 800? I got my 900 for 1400 used from a friend. |
| Genoveva Bopp 12.08.2012 | The Denon dnx1600 is a very nice mixer, I'm happy with mine, previous mixers include DJM 500 & 600 plus others. The sound quality is good and DVS works a treat. |
| Madelene Witek 12.08.2012 | Xone 42 is a bit out of my price range. This mixer, for the most part is so I can have a mixer on the ready for parties/small shows. Any bigger than that, there will probably be a better mixer around seeing as every evening
these days is a line up. The denon looks like a steal, might look into that. |
| Margie Pavell 12.08.2012 | that denon looks good for that price... |
| Stanley Topoleski 12.08.2012 | xone 42... behringer ddm4000 both good choices.. the ddm4000 can me used as a midi controller as well decent sound quality. and all i have to say about te xone 42 is allen & heath |
| Celestine Porebski 12.08.2012 | Xone 42 certainly is a good choice, fun mixer for sure! Denon DN-X1600 (if you like FX on your mixer - or else you could go with the DN-X1100) or Ecler Nuo 4.0 should be good as well. Or you could look for a used Rodec MX-180 or something like that (also look for Hi-Level, Formula Sound, Dateq, etc. for example - but of course most of those mixers are 19"-rack-style which does take up more space) - edit: this is probably the best bang-for-your-buck option, but you might have to hunt around for a while to get one of those, so some patience is needed.

It seems to fit the bill, and the price isn't absurd. edit: also finding good reviews for this: http://www.zzounds.com/item--DENDNX1500 I only mention it cause it's $400 from here: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-a...nnel-dj-mixer# |
| Margie Pavell 12.08.2012 | The headphone cue system takes a bit to get used to. The master is a bit louder than the cue. The filter buttons on the bottom of each channel have a "pop" when you engage them. There is a work around for it. I use the filters in traktor so i don't use the filters on the mixer. There is no power button. BUT... It has XLR outs, a booth control, sounds great, mic inputs, quality build, headphones jack on front and back panel... The current setup is an X1 and the xone22. I am finally comfortable again after moving from vinyl to CDJs to controller. I really like having a physical mixer. |

As i'm not too fond of all in one controllers. And I hear mixer's built in effects are generally far better than Traktors. |
| Margie Pavell 12.08.2012 | i got my xone 22 for 2 hundo....it has it's flaws...but i like it... |
| Romelia Stankard 12.08.2012 | Why don't you give a more exact budget. Do you need it to have an audio interface built in? |
| Madelene Witek 12.08.2012 | ^ I was hoping for more than a bit under a grand. Denon X1600 looks great but is still a bit pricey. |
| Laurel Litchko 12.08.2012 | djm 900. 2 grand |
