are Numark mixers any good?

[AWOL]

well, are they?

I need a new mixer and I'm looking for something meduim priced ($500 or less), nothing fancy- just something to get the job done.

any feedback or suggestions?

btw: it has to have mids.

[Lenny]

I'm in the same boat...don't know a damn thing about mixer except the ones I want are too much and anything is better than the one I have.

[AWOL]

lol

I've had mine for years with no problems.

They have a bad rep but I'm not sure how honest it is. If I was at work I could run down some similarly priced mixers in case the Numark name scares you. Maybe tomorow.

[normal josh]

look at beringer

cheap... same components as pioneer

[stringbeans]

the new numark dxm series looks nice.. there's the numark dxm 01, 03, and 06 and they're all under 500 i think

im getting a stanton sa-3 on the weekend.. i tested it at tom lees and i liked the feel of it.. $320 or so

hmm what else...

if you can find any of the gemini umx series you should get one... they're the only quality gemini mixers and they stopped producing them so it miight be hard to come by

ecler smac pro30 is supposedly a great deal too

I'd say u are better off going with a vestax.

[AWOL]

I'd love a vestax but the 05 pro doesn't come with mids and I'm not sure if I want the PMC17.

[AWOL]

Hey Velcro, are you working tomorrow? I think I'll swing by after work.

[g-RocK]

I have the PMC 17A, I love it, it's great mixer! Totally reccomend it

Pr0-Sm1 or Pr0-Sm2

2 sicko mixers built with quality...

optical faders all the way

[stringbeans]

^^ ya, i hear the pro-sm series are probably the best quality mixers from numark

[AWOL]

hear anything about the matrix series? I was looking at the matrix 2 ($375)

[stringbeans]

word is they bleed pretty easily... i know some people who had it bleed after 2 months... i think if you were to get a numark your best bet would be with an pro-sm

[Rytalin]

DON"T GET a DM2000!!



:)

every one I've seen has had wierd problems develop... they don't last very well....


I don't know about other numark stuff though.

[Velcro]

Funny you should say that, cause I'm selling mine.

I've been using it forever, and still use it as a studio mixer and it's perfect. I don't know what kind of 'wierd problems' they develop other than a bad reputation. I suppose I just got a good one cause it's never given me any prolems.

[Filo]

reezo has the same mixer(2002X). no problems whatsoever and we've bagged on it. it's dabbler's old mixer, and reezo has had it for over a year. it's seen some mileage and it's still goin strong.


something good to start out on for sure!

[AWOL]

thanks everyone!

I just found mine developed knob problems and fader bleeding rather quickly. A couple friends of mine have them and they had the same problems.

I dunno, maybe it was just one batch of them that were kinda shoddy?

or maybe I just have bad luck with gear :)
