Mixer Review

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

......etc. The next mixer I buy will be a Numark mixer as I am impressed with the durability and layout of this one. This only reason this doesn't get 5 stars, is that recently the crossfader has started to not completly cut out the left channel. But this is more probably from excessive use, as crossfaders arent something that last forever and can be replaced. One last thing that I will add is that I mix dnb and this mixer works well with this type of music. It has the right response for what you wlll want to do. All in all a good first mixer I would recommend for someone that is starting out. If you have the money to spend a bit more go for it as, for another 50 quid you will get one that does a lot more, but if you are just starting out its prob not worth it if you find out that its not the thing for you!...

Review of Numark DM950 USB Mixer

Good, solid beginner mixer

Advantages: Low/Mid/High Gain & Kill + Phono/Line Switching
Disadvantages: 2 channels, set-up can be challenging.

...The DM-1002 MKII is a solid and good mixer for beginning DJ's. Everything from the stylish design, to the ease of use - is something that makes the mixer normally a join to use. Being able to output to master and record gives the mixer a helpful capability (with each output being able to be gain adjusted) The mixer has two switchable line in & phono inputs, master & record outputs and a helpful crossfader to fade between each channel helps the beginner DJ get a feel for using hardware, rather than software controls. The ability to connect a 1/4 inch microphone (with volume and tone changers) as well as the ability to connect a 1/4 inch headphones (also with volume and tone changers) gives the DJ full flexabity connecting other equipment (such as mics and headphones you already have). I use this mixer to present live dance shows...

Review of Numark Mixer DM-1002 MK II

Full featured 3 channel mixer

Advantages: Nice looks, kill switches, nice sound
Disadvantages: cross fader feels delicate

...' and master out, and a connector for a 12v gooseneck lamp. The crossfader and front panel switches are hot-swappable, so if one dies in use it can be replaced as long as that channel is not being used. Headphone output is well amplified and microphone input has almost no background noise. This mixer would suit any one who has enough money for it. It's sturdy, looks very good, and comes in colour schemes that will match Numark blue decks or standard black/silver decks. It's one of the best mixers I have used....

Review of Numark - DM2002 3 channel mixer

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

Heres the cement mixer

Advantages: good for building skills and imaginary play
Disadvantages: none

...I have always thought Lego Duplo bricks one of the best construction bricks for young children aged between 2 and 5. This Duplo cement mixer would be ideal as a Christmas present. Fantastic as an individual toy a start to a Duplo collection. This cement mixer would also be ideal if you child has a Duplo basic brick set too. . We all know children love to see Lorries and cement mixers at work. Some building work was going on near my grandson's house when he was about 3. His mother would regularly walk nearby and have to stop for ages watching the builders and the cement mixer. This Duplo cement mixer costs £12.99 from http://shop.lego.com /product/?p=4976&LangId=2057&ShipTo=UK http://www.toysrus.co.uk is selling for £14.99. Lots of other shop sites selling it for between £12 and £15. So what do you get for your money ehh...

Review of Lego Duplo Cement Mixer

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...

Review of Numark PHX

My handy Mixer

Advantages: Bargain price, 5 speed settings
Disadvantages: Only availble from Argos, only comes in white, Chrome plated Beaters

...I'm the first to admit when it comes to electrical items some might say I'm a bit of a snob. I'll only buy brand name things, under the impression rightly or wrongly it's better to pay a bit extra once than have to replace a cheap item a couple of times. So when my Nan bought me this hand mixer for my birthday I wasn't sure what to expect. She knows I enjoy baking and she enjoys the end results, maybe she was hoping this would mean I baked more for her. This little hand mixer comes in white, and is a fairly inoffensive looking piece of equipment. It won't win any prizes for it's looks but you won't feel embarrassed if you leave it on your work top. The mixer has a slot on each side so that you can store the beaters with it, meaning they won't get lost amongst your other utensils in the drawer. It comes with 5 speed settings...

Review of Argos Value White Power Hand Mixer

A few minor design flaws but otherwise brillaint!

Advantages: Loads of different connectors. Tactile controls.
Disadvantages: Badly designed power connector causes popping sounds if it becomes dislodged

...I got my Numark CM200 about a year ago and have since then used it at the best part of 100 gigs with next to no trouble whatsoever. Easy to set up, with a multitude of different connectors for each of its generous 5 channels the Numark CM200 is the best rack mounted mixer I have ever owned. I found all the buttons and controls tactile and easy to reach. The crossfader assign feature seems daunting and somewhat confusing to begin with but it does not take long to get the hang of them at which point they become a great asset in getting the most out of this mixer. The audio quality was amazing, at full gain and played on a 5000W sound system I could only detect the slightest buzz (much less than my previous Vestax PMC250). There is a 3-way "steep" equalizer on each channel ranging from -30db to +10db. Although there are no kill...

Review of Numark CM200 Mixer

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

A handy bouncing hand mixer

Advantages: Powerful, lightweight, easy to use, fees great and convenient to store.
Disadvantages: doesn't have a stand or bowl

...I?ve owned this Dualit hand mixer for quite a bit. It may not be the most expensive or have the most attachments but it does what I need and has a couple of neat tricks. I have this neat black one but Dualit offer several other colours including chrome, ice blue, cream and red For those who don?t know much about Dualit they are a British company who make catering products for both the domestic and commercial markets. There products aren?t cheap but neither are they expensive, falling midway between the two extremes. They generally tend to be well made and reliable but I suspect every manufacturer has the rogue products made with a Monday morning hangover or in the Friday afternoon rush. Dualit Hand Mixer- Soft Touch- Black ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Dualit 88405 is a very good looking machine in my opinion, this...
