Numark DM1050 2 Channel 8'' Scratch Mixer Reviews
I can't speak to anything outside of that. And I have to say, this has great functionality, seems quite durable, and is both functional and simple. the botton line is that is this is a great value for a mixer. Also works great w/an iPod and monster cables. I like the controls, and the cue fader is great and profoundly simple (something I think is missing from many larger, more expensive mixers).
It's my first one, but I've used others. I would say that the one and only drawback is that it does not have XLR or 1/4" outputs - only RCA, which is a problem some places. But you can always get cables to convert RCA to your preferred format. For my purposes (just playing records when I DJ - no scratching, etc), it gets the job done.
For the price to do basic mixing, it's good. I do a fair amount of scratching and the fader was done w/n a couple of days. If you don't scratch, this is a good value.
within 3 days the crossfader began to bleed through, and 4 or 5 days after that it became completely unresponsive. if you want someone to learn the basics before jumping in to quality equipment by all means buy them this mixer, its the training wheels on the schwinn of DJing. this mixer would be a good mate for some entry level turn tables. ive resorted to using the volume sliders to fade and the line switches to cut, for the past year or so. ive had it rebuilt twice only to have the same thing happen within days.
i got this mixer as a gift, 2 years ago. but for someone who has been DJing for some time this mixer would be a few steps backwards. JMHO. its a very good entry level mixer, but beyond that, its useless. -Grimm
I will definitely continue to buy Numark products. The 3-band EQ, crossfader-style cuing, and mic EQ add great functionality to this mixer. For a mere $60.99 (nearly $20 less than at Musician's Friend and about half the MSRP) at Amazon.com, this mixer is your best bet. This is an excellent mixer that doesn't sacrifice quality, though it definitely won't break the bank. I recommend this mixer to every startup DJ, whether you're aiming for scratch, trance, jungle, Baroque, whatever. It has the cost of an entry-level mixer without the bleeding and fragile faders, 2-band EQ, and utter lack of scratch features that one normally finds on entry-level mixers.
The faders are tough yet sensitive, with no sound bleeding. I was originally going to get a DM950 and just upgrade in a few months, but at this price, why bother. The hamster switch and crossfader slope are a nice touch if you're ever feeling a bit hip-hop or want to cut up some beats.
