hey everyone, my first post. I need your opinions on two mixers 1. Numark 100X 2. Gemini PS-646.

get a behringer I had a dx-500 when it was out, I was impressed by the quality for the price, I paid $149.00 for it. They have others out now with BPM counter, and huge kills on the EQ (-32db) I thik it is the DX-300 or something it is like $150 and it has individual channel VU meters. I have a DJM-500 now buty if I was going to get a cheap mixer this would be it. just my oppinion.

Personally, I wouldn't buy the PS-646 or Numark 100x... It really depends if you want a mixer that will last... Are you looking to buy a mixer? Or do you already have one?

I'm not a big Behringer fan myself... I wasn't impressed by the DX500 (sound quality, waek EQ, irritating X-fader curve etc)... but it is cheap! (so value for money isn't bad at all). I haven't tried the new VMX range from Behringer, but they look really cheap... and are really cheap too... so I wouldn't expect miracles

Unfortunately, like most things, you get what you pay for...

If you are looking for a good quality mixer, I'd look at Ecler and Gemini UMX.

Cheers

I'm looking to start out with a budget mixer. I'm new 2 djing so I want to start out with a decent mixer at a decent price

Well, look at the Gemini UMX mixers... they are MUCH better quality than the other (stinky) gemini mixers...

Oh, also. don't get a mixer with a BPM counter, for the purposes of beat matching...

The BPM counters really aren't necessary at all... you'll be beat matching perfectly in no time... (I was worried about this when I started, but there's no need

)

BTW, the cheap BPM counters on cheap mixers normally suck...

ecler all the way baby!!

look into the concept 2 mixer. its a sturdy well built mixer with ecler sound for about $200. i've played on my friends and thought very highly of it.

i personally own an ecler smac-pr030 and love it!!

OK, if you get a Gemini, get nothing but UMX. Apparently, the best sound quality from a Gemini you're gonna' get, and they're loaded with solid features. Sound like great mixers.

In fact, just go with the Gemini, because they're the best at their price-point.
