Gemini Mixer CS-02

Advantages: Good looking, many functions
Disadvantages: cheap cross fader

...This is one of Gemini's collection. This company are renound for the quality of their mixers. They can offer the best value for money on the market. This one has these features; high, mid, low, gain adjustment, kill switches, beat LED bars, diffferent out puts & inputs, unassignable cross fader, mic input & adjustment, talk over functuin, 12 second sampler with adjustments in pitch, volume etc (great for echo effects), headphone cue-ing adjustment, reversable cross fader and gradual to sharp fading settings. This was the first mixer I purchased. It is simple to use, easy to set up (plug & play basically). The only problem I had was the cross fader wore out within 4 or so months. However the replacement one costs around £20. The buttons are on securely, they may need to be firmly pushed down upon after opening the box though inorder... Read review

Advantages: Build, Rack Mountable, EQ
Disadvantages: Not many features, faders rather stiff when first purchased new.

...After purchasing this for some DJ work i was pleased with the quality of the build and the colour it came in! I was also pleased that it came with the rack mountable ears so it would fit directly into my old mixers place (if only that were true). When i powered it up for the first time it seemed like any other mixer. I then lined all the EQ knobs to 0 and then fed a signal through to setup the EQ to my needs. I istantly noticed that the music was a lot lower quality than my old mixer so i played around with the EQ trying to set it up to a half decent sound. Failing that i had to go out and purchase an external EQ which seemed to do the job OK. All in all i think this is only really for a bedroom DJ as the lack of features (it's basic) could put off any professional DJ. This is going to go on eBay when i have finished writing...

Advantages: Good build and sound quality at a low price
Disadvantages: May not satisfy Pro DJ's needs.

...The answer, quite simply, is yes. With 3 channels, bass, mid and treble controls and beat sync indicators, this is a must for any bedroom DJ. You may not find this mixer in any of the Ministry of Sounds' events, but for any amateur, intermediate or beginner DJ, this mixer has all the extras you will need, all for just £149. The PS626 pro 2 is very well built and has good sound quality. It looks the part with its Black/green design, and offers great features. It is laid out well, with everything in a convienient place. This mixer may not have'10 channels, 15 inputs and be able to make you a ham sandwich', but bar the top DJs, noone needs to use them,(neither do they really), and besides, who wants to pay over £1000 for something which isn't that much better than the PS626. For any CD DJ or turntablist alike, the PS626 is a good buy... Read review
