difference between mk2's and m3d's

Sh4n3 · #1 (**permalink**) Apr 16, 02

just what are the changes on the m3d's?

NinjaBoy · #2 (**permalink**) Apr 17, 02

power switch is a diffrent style. Rather then a plain cylinder, a kinda loser... wierder one

Pitch reset.

Color

Name

Price

Age

Other then the pitch reset, it's cosmetic

I got my M3ds at cost Before I knew a thing about djing I had to wait 6 months for them bc they were on backorder. If I ordered the Mk2s which were the same price I couldve walked away with them the day I ordered.
Pretty much all bout the looks..

so basically just go for mk2's cuase they're gonna be less?

matéo · #5 (**permalink**) Apr 17, 02

I Bought mine at the same price as the mk2s.
Personal preference guy.

my mk3's were like 150 bux more or somthing, since that is not to much extra when making a 3000 purchase i got them instead.

just get mk2's

i have the m3d's and after using thousands of mk2's, the main different is the reset button... which u dont really need. so save money and buy mk2's.

well there the same price now @ bassix

from my experience the pitch control is a lot more sensitive on the m3ds than it is on the mk2s......and on the pitch adjustment the m3d's dont have the "click" @ 0 pitch.......to make a good decision u should decide depending on how u mix.....if u like the click and a little "give" on the pitch go with the mk2s, if u want the quickest response go with the m3d's

Ok, I was reading all these posts and thinking..

jesus guys, dont you know your own gear?

Then I saw Omega's post.. M3D's are WAY more sensative and accurate. Did everyone not notice the non-click in the m3d's which makes for much easier 'pitch slide' mixing (i called it that for a lack of a better term) or i could have called it 'no finger mixing' ? heh heh i dunno.

M3D's are worth the extra bit of cash.

Way more? not really, it's more sensative, more accurate, but not an incredeble deal.

It's really hard to notice the differnace for most people... cause it's not a major thing....

I knew they were more sensitive and accurate thats why i bought em. But it doesnt make that much of a difference. i would be just as happy with a pair of mkII's

It's all a preference.

I dont like the click of the m2k.

I'd pay $50 more. not to have it click. =)

dj_precise · #13 (**permalink**) Apr 19, 02

IVe got a 1200 MK2 for sale with the click taken out of the pitch adjustment!!! I also got gold wires and plugs put onto them for more quality sound...

Anyone??
hehe

All I know is that when used properly the reset button is a great asset when beat matching

omega_image · #15 (**permalink**) Apr 19, 02

k as i said before, they are the same price @ bassix and the m3d's come with slipmats...........anyways yeah the rest button is an awesome way to fix mixes......i myself havent learned it to well yet, but i know chi chi is a master of it

Booey · #16 (**permalink**) Apr 19, 02

the rest button technique is the same as the pitch control technique..

djmarkpaul · #17 (**permalink**) Apr 19, 02

^^ Not if you play your tracks at +6 or higher.

markpaul :)

Booey · #18 (**permalink**) Apr 20, 02

chances are, you wont be playing both tracks at +6 or higher, so if u ARE playing one at +6, fuck around with the other pitch

Moon · #19 (**permalink**) Apr 20, 02

i dont like using the reset button technique

the sudden change in pitch sounds SO bad
i'd rather have a 100% smooth mix only depending on my touch on the record or the wheel

I dont like it neither.. i just like the pitch control..

I've seen Gerald do it with two pitch controls.. i cant get the whole two things at once thing down..

SoniK · #22 (**permalink**) Apr 21, 02

torque and the reset button

omega_image · #23 (**permalink**) Apr 21, 02

wat the hell is the difference?.........its all the same price unless u buy used.......

NinjaBoy · #24 (**permalink**) Apr 21, 02

NO IT'S NOT!

Only if you buy shit from bassix. If you go to any store cept, tom lee and bassix, the mk2 is 600, whereas the mk3 is 750
