Mixers

[Aratron]

i dunno i this is the best place to discuss this, however i'd really appreciate people's opinions on mixers out there.

Vestax PMC280 Mixer - has any one got one of these - if so , how do you rate it?

[SlavikSvensk]

i have the pcv-275...love it

[dan the acid man]

yeah, only ever used the 275, we had one at work, worked a treat for years, good solid mixer

[TechMouse]

I've used a PCV-275 too.

Pretty good, all things considered.

Though my mate who owned it said he had to get it serviced a couple of times. Think it was the soldering on the sockets or something.

[Aratron]

its the pcm 280 im more interested in. anyone used one????????????????????

[conor256]

i pulled this off another forum ......... i was looking at it myself and it looks quite nice ...... i think there are only two phono inputs though which is a pity on a 4 channel mixer....

Got one at work...

HATE it!

LOL.

the crossfader is bloody aweful. the pioneer ones are MUCH better if less solid.

For the same price I'd go for a djm 500 personally.

Good faders, and a workhorse which lasts

[TechMouse]

Agree with Jay.

Either that or an Ecler.

agreed, the 500 works and lasts...

DJM is way overpirced these days if you ask me. Xone32 or Ecler.

dont bother with the 32 OR the Ecler!

32 = Faders that are around 4million miles long
Ecler = Fiddly in the extreme.

Sound quality? Great on both of them... useable? Not for scratching. or creative up fader work on the 32.

Try the DJM400...

cheaper!

Bit of a sweeping statement that man. I have an Ecler Hak 320 and its the best scratch mixers ive had. Well layed out, rock solid, plenty of room, and i have battered it for nearly 4 years and still works perfectly and no faders have been changed. Their new flagship model the Hak 380 is widely regarded as the best scratch mixer you can buy. Certainly on par with the Rane TTM.

My bad, didnt mean those ones... isaw some that had nasty fiddly little EQ faders..

[dirty_bass]

Allen and Heath or Ecler all the way.
Nice clean signal path, about the only decent gains present on any DJ mixer out there, unless you go for sky high prices.
Sound quality all the way in my opinion.

i can vouch for Ecler mixers, not the most poular, but good solid mixers, with a fair price tag too!! cant go wrong!!

i've got a Ecler HAK 310 which im very happy with.

i just fancy getting a 3 channel mixer.

sometimes i think it's easier to do more chops with the up-faders when you have got three channels, plus i wouldn't mind having a third channel for some digital effects.

mind you im sticking with my ecler i need some decks at the minute.

eh? why would having an extra fader mean you can do more chops with the channel faders?

the only reason to buy a 3 channel mixer is if you're going to be using 3 channels
