Numark Axis 9 The best value cd deck for rookies and bedroom Djs

Advantages: Consistent, All main effects (scratch + key lock that WORKS)
Disadvantages: No built in memory

...I dj 2-3 times a week and often take my equipment in and out of venues so I need equipment that is durable and reliable. Ive had a pair of axis 9's for a few years now. They have turned out to be quite reliable and consistent where more expensive models weren't .. very important if you dj'ing at a gig. If you are a laptop Dj the Axis 9's works fine with all the major software, VDJ, Rockit, Traktor etc. There are some new features on the axis 9's along with all the standard feature on the axis series. Pitch-lock (called key-lock on numarks) is one of the most useful features I use and in my opinion axis 9's do this much better than others in a similar price range like 1200DZ or CDJ 200. They have very decent effects that are really easy to use, most notably, the scratch function which is a direct improvement from previous models like...

Review of Numark AXIS 9

Numark PHX

Advantages: wires and ear cups can be changed and amazing quality for the price
Disadvantages: ear cups not very comfy and crackles when very loud

...The Numark PHX headphones are ideal for anybody wishing to have high quality headphones without paying a price too high. From my own experience I have found these headphones to be ideal for DJ'ing. For the price they are sold it, the quality of the headphones is very high. A good feature for the Numark headphones is the wires and ear cups, which can be changed. This comes in useful for different situations. The only downside of these headphones is the small crackle when they are pushed to the very top of the sound level. However this is only a downside for those people who have the headphones unbelievably loud. Another accessory included in the headphones box is the carry case to move the headphones around. The only thing I could think of for improvement of these headphones is for the ear cups to be a bit more of a comfy fit to the head...

Numark CDX

Advantages: Turntable style CD player better than a turntable
Disadvantages: reliability

...The Numark CDX is one of the best profesional CD players on the market. their reliability raise some questions but as an over all there great. its the closest you can get to a vinyl turntable the CD player works and looks just like the numark TT direct drive turntable, with 2 start stop buttons and start up speed and break controls and programable pitch controls so you can set it up to feel like almost any turntable you have used before. you can scratch just like on a real turntable with added features to only play a part of the scratch, the forward or backward part. The unit also comes complete with effects built in. the effects range from filter to sonar and are controled with a jog wheel for smooth effect ranges. you can chop, slide, ptich bend, filter and sonar (like phazer)and even play the cd backwards with one touch...

Numark TT500 all looks and power

Advantages: huge pitch range adjustable start stop
Disadvantages: ugly not the most practacal

...I had a pair of these Numark TT500 for a short while and although good they left me wondering WHY. Numark are old hands at making good quality dj turntables but i dont know what they were thinking when desiging this one. part of a dj set up is the look and 2 of these used normaly with the tone arm and pitch control on your right and a mixer in the middle looks a little silly. The tone arm design is straight which again i found very different and wierd. apart from the looks its a good turntable with all the functions you expect. the pitch control has a huge range, Variable pitch range 8/10/20/50 %. and adjustable start stop speeds. This is pitched as a high torque direct drive tturntable and yes the torque is good but i have felt better. all in all a good turntable, great if you need the extra pitch range not very good if...

Review of Numark TT500 Turntable

Cheap and Fairly Cheerful

Advantages: Aesthetically pleasing and incredibly cheap.
Disadvantages: Not the most comfortable headphones in the world, sound is a little bass heavy.

...When I first started out DJing some years back I was a student on an incredibly tight budget; I made sure I bought myself a decent pair of decks that would last a good few years, this therefore meant that I had to compromise in other areas however. When looking for a cheap pair of headphones there are quite a few models out there on the market from various different companies; Numark's HF125 headphones were the ones that caught my eye however and this is a budget pair of entry-level headphones still being bought by many today. When I bought my pair I believe they cost a price of roughly £12, today however they can be picked up from Amazon.co.uk for the mere price of £7.99; an absolute bargain in my opinion and absolutely perfect if you're just starting out as a DJ and looking to purchase a cheap pair of headphones. These are not the best...

TT200

Advantages: Good quality and features
Disadvantages: N/A

...Numark turntables were the first ones I bought many years ago when I started out and do I always have a special place in my heart for their products. When the TT200 was released I was quite impressed by the design and some of the features so decided to check them out. The TT200 looks very cool indeed. They are not shaped like other turntables; rectangular with harsh corners, this has a much more sleeker looking design with luxurious looking smooth edges and a dual coloured faceplate (silver and black). The smart design takes nothing away from the sturdiness of the turntable and I reckon that this could take quite a battering before playback became affected. The platter and the tone-arm feel strong and I would image they would stand up to a fair bit of force. When making any contact with the record being played the needle only skipped...

Pain relief for older children

Advantages: Great price, doesn't taste nasty
Disadvantages: can't get it everywhere

...I first used Numark Paracetamol Suspension for 6 years plus when my six year old had a ruptured appendix. When she was released from hospital it was recommended that I buy her some sort of pain relief as her tummy was still sore. So off I went to my local chemist with buying Calpol on my mind, only to find out that they had sold out, so I thought I'd try Numark Paracetamol Suspension. It cost me 2.50 for 200ml so it's a lot cheaper than Calpol and we found it works just as well. What's it for *********** Relief of mild to moderate pain and fever. Such as colds, headaches, toothache, and fevers. How does it work? *************** It relieves fever because the paracetamol in it helps the body to regulate the temperature. It relieves pain by targeting the source Who can use it? ************ Anyone six or over who has no...

TT1650 perfect for a beginner

Advantages: quality for money
Disadvantages: pitch shifter

...Direct drive motor 2 start/stop Aluminium deck Detachable connections located underneath the deck S-shaped tonearm Pitch control: +/- 10% Includes Numark Groove Tool cartridge Phono output ABS body The TT1650 is the industry standard entry level turntable. There is something quite alluring about this deck, it has everything you could ask for from a beginners point of view, it stylish, cheap, and has features no other entry level deck has. Numark is a well respected manufacturer of quality dj equipment. They are probably most well known for their ability to create high quality turntable's for people on a budget, this is the category where the TT1650 falls into. This turntable features something which almost no other manufacturer supplies with an entry level turntable, a direct drive motor. This is what all the professional...

Review of Numark TT-1650

If you DJ then you need these!

Advantages: Build quality, features, massive torque, looks
Disadvantages: Erm, dim target light

...I upgraded to these decks from a pair of Numark TT1650s....and wow what a decision!! The first thing that hits you about these decks is their weight - they are heavy beasts. This certainally makes them feels the part. It might make moving them around a little more difficult, but its a small price to pay. The weight helps to keep them really stable a gives your vinyl a secure base to play on. The weight is mainly due to two reasons, firstly the steel casing which makes the unit really sturdy. Secondly the motor. These decks have the highest torque I've come across. The higher the torque (for those of you that don't know) the higher the force needed to stop the platter (the circular base you put the vinyl on) from turning. This is important when mixing since you are always touching the record, and don't want the base below to stop...

Review of Numark TTX USB Turntable

Great decks, has served its purpose well!

Advantages: Direct drive, cheap, fun, good for all levels of ability.
Disadvantages: New slipmats a must, New needles a must, deteriorate after extensive use.

...I have owned a pair of these decks for around a year and 6 months, I owned a pair of numark 1520s before my 1650s and was very satisfied with them. Many people find the 1650s difficult to keep pitch in long mixes, although i have never had a problem until now. My mixes generally last anywhere between 1 and 3 mins. The only reason I am having problems now is because the decks are getting old as i bought them second hand. One of the turntables' motor has gone, it no longer keeps pitch and it also starts up really slowly from time to time. This is easily fixed when I turn off the deck and switch it back on again. To summarise: Great deck for intermediate and beginers alike but they look tacky and new decks are needed after around 2 years as they deteriorate and become limiting....
