Gemini Mixer PS-02 USB

Gemini 626 mixer

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 ...

Review of Gemini 626 Mixer

GEMINI's 676 3 Channel Mixer

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 to ...

Mixer Review

Advantages: Ease of use, Durability, Great First Mixer
Disadvantages: You will want to upgrade after time, cross fader wont last forever

I bought this mixer as my first mixer after deciding to buy first decks and I think that it is good value for money. It is quite simplistic, but I realised quickly you don't need something fancy when you are just learning to beatmatch. It is simple but what it does, it does well. The USB function is a good feature you don't get in a lot of mixers in this price range, I havent yet used it to record a mix but from what i have read it isnt hard to do if you have the right program and is useful if you only have a laptop which only has a USB and not standard audio connection that you get on desktops and wanna record a mix. I have had it a year now and am now looking to upgrade, but this only because my mixing has come on from what I have learnt from this mixer, and I want to add more to my mix with functions like kill switches, effects ...
