HAK360 Mixer
solidly built mixer with great sound

OVERVIEW
An updated version of Ecler's successful HAK 320, this mixer improves upon it in one major way: a brand new long-life magnetic crossfader with the sharpest cut-in time we've ever seen. Noy only does It have the sharpest curve, it also has the smoothest feel of any magnetic fader we've tested. We'd place it somewhere in between the tighter Rane 56 fader and the extrememly loose Stanton Focus Fader.
1) The crossfader is near incredible. First of all, it operates on a no-contacts magnetic basis, similar to the fader used in Rane's TTM 56, and should last much longer than any VCA fader like the ones found in Vestax mixers. It also has a unique feature, a micro-control curve adjustment in addition to the regular curve adjustment control, which allows you to adjust the fader's cut-in time down to almost nothing. Just nudge it and both channels are on. This is only an option: full curve fade for mixing is still available. Plus the crossfader has a full warranty for 5 years (save money).
2) Like the HAK 320, the 360 offers a functional set of features for hip hop and battle deejays including a session input with level control, strong 3 channel eqs, mic input and assignable external effects for both channels.
Verdict: Pluses
Quality, feel, and warranty of the crossfader. We have yet to have any problems with any of the Ecler mixers we've sold. Clean layout and high-end features (3 band eq and effects processors).
Verdict: Minuses
The only thing holding the Ecler back is it's lack of a household name. The price may seem a bit steep, but this could easily be recouped by not having to buy a new fader for the next 5 years.

MANUFACTURER'S REVIEW
Numark, creator of the first 100% digital DJ mixer, continues to develop digital mixing with X5. This two-channel, 24-bit, high-resolution mixer contains high-end analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog circuitry and powerful look-ahead limiters at the master, booth, and headphone outputs to deliver virtually lossless, clip-proof audio performance.
Borrowing from the industrial design of the award-winning Numark family of ITCH controllers - NS7, NSFX, and V7 - X5 perfectly complements V7, the motorized turntable software controller.
While X5 is a perfect fit between a pair of V7s, it is also compatible with all turntables, CD players, and other sources. You will immediately appreciate X5's rugged, club-friendly construction, which includes high-quality knobs, buttons, and faders. X5 employs the same ultra-long-lifetime CP PRO crossfader as the one in the universally acclaimed NS7 motorized digital DJ controller.
Performance DJs will appreciate the fit and finish of X5 along with the mixer's professional touches, including crossfader and line-fader slope and reverse controls, channel Transform triggers, repositionable phono/line switches, three-band combination EQ/Kills on each channel, and mini-crossfader cueing control.
High-quality connections including balanced analog, S/PDIF optical and coaxial digital outputs ensure optimal transmission of DJs performances to amplification and recording systems.
With a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 100 dB, less than 0.005% total harmonic distortion, and frequency response from ultra-wide 10 - 20,000 Hz frequency response, X5 delivers your mix to the PA, recording system, and your headphones without distortion or coloration. Its high quality components and rugged build make it the perfect mixer for every scratch DJ.

In addition, there is a myriad of top quality effects at your disposal including delay, echo, transform, filter, flanger, phaser, reverb, robot and crush, 13 beat effects, an enhanced roll sampler (makes tempo-specific manipulation of audio samples easily accessible through real-time sampling using 4-Roll effects: roll, reverse roll, pitch up roll and pitch down roll), AND fully assignable MIDI function with 49 assignable controls. This mixer also features the world's first Effect Frequency filter which allows for ultimate high and low pass filter control affecting any chosen effect meaning you can add an effect to either the music or the effect only, or both simultaneously.
Other functions include a powerful 3 band EQ per channel, fader curve for both crossfader and channel faders, fader start function for CDJs, on board auto or tap BPM counter with digital read out for effects settings + BPM counter, and talk over function. It also features industry-standard size and layout and a dual shield structure that eliminates digital noise.
OUR OPINION
This is obviously a very big and powerful mixer that will appease even the most demanding DJs. With top quality all around, a robust effects package, and MIDI connectivity, the DJM-700 can provide for ultimate freedom and creativity when behind the decks. Basically, if this is mixer is in your budget - go for it (it won't disappoint). Recommended.

MANUFACTURER'S REVIEW
The DJM-900nexus is a high performance digital mixer designed for today's professional DJ performers. An ideal combination with Pioneer's latest CDJ line of players, the DJM-900nexus offers a multitude of new features that includes a variety of onboard effects, increased sound quality, and direct PC or Mac connection to enable any DJ to perform to their utmost potential.
Multitude of Effects
The DJM-900nexus follows Pioneer's traditional control layout enabling an easy transition to the mixer. As with other Pioneer mixers, the DJM-900nexus features a variety of advanced sound effects that allow DJs to have more creative expressions while mixing their music. Three new Sound Color FX, two Beat Effects and an X-Pad control were added to the mixer to enhance the user's performance.
- Sound Color FX - The DJM-900nexus includes Space, Dub Echo and Gate/Comp in addition to Filter, Crush and Noise for its Sound Color FX. At any time with a simple twist of the knobs, DJs can quickly add their choice of audio effects bringing numerous combinations and arrangements to currently played music.
- Beat Effect - A total of 13 effects, including two new ones called Spiral and Melodic, can be added by the user at any time to the beat effects is accomplished through a selectable knob located on the right side of the mixer.
- X-Pad - A touch screen control bar that enables quick access, control, and manipulation of the thirteen built-in beat effects. With a touch and/or slide of the X-Pad control, the user can change the parameters of each effect for further creativity in performances.
Sound Quality
Part of the DJM-900nexus's design attribute is combining functionality with great sound quality. The mixer utilizes high quality components that ensure the best possible audio output when connected to other components.
- Built-in 24bit/96kHz High Performance USB Sound card - Pioneer developed an onboard USB sound card that can simultaneously handle input and output audio signals from up to four (4) stereo sources through a single USB port1. The sound card supports 24-bit/96kHz high resolution signal processing, and can input and output all audio signals with no degradation of sound quality. Once connected to a PC or Mac, the settings utility tool can be used to customize the mixer's output signal path to suit various purposes, such as DJ play, song recording or production2. Furthermore, smooth transfers between DJs are possible with the easily accessible USB ports on the top surface of the mixer.
- Sound Quality Design - The DJM-900nexus is equipped with the same audio input and output circuits as Pioneer's flagship DJM-2000 to achieve the most accurate audio reproduction from connected sources. The 32-bit digital to analog converter supports all outputs of the mixer, including the master audio outputs, booth outputs as well as headphones. Additionally, the built-in high performance 32-bit digital signal processor (DSP) suppresses any digital and analog circuit noise by way of high quality balanced hybrid operation amps and full balanced output circuits.
Connection
With more DJs continuing to use their personal computers as part of their rig, the new DJM-900nexus is ready for a direct connection to a laptop PC or Mac, increasing its convenience and functionality.
- PRO DJ LINK - Via an Ethernet (LAN) cable, the mixer can quickly link to the latest Pioneer PRO DJ LINK compatible CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 players (with firmware version 4.00 or later) or a personal computer running Pioneer's rekordbox software, giving users fast access to a song's beats per minute (BPM) and beat location information, resulting in a precise beat matching capability. Furthermore, the built-in quantize mode compensates for Beat Effect operation timing errors automatically, so effects are matched perfectly.
- TRAKTOR Functionality - Using a USB connection with a PC or Mac, the four decks (players) inside TRAKTOR can be connected simultaneously with the mixer, enabling enhanced flexibility with the software. In addition, the mixer is also TRAKTOR SCRATCH4 certified for TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO / DUO 2, allowing scratch control functionality when using a time code disc.
- Time Code Output - Through its USB port, the mixer can output time code disc signals for DVS (Digital Vinyl System) software when used with a Pioneer CDJ player or analog record player. DJ play using DVS software can be done without difficult and complicated connections.

Rane
Empath Mixer - Black
high end club dj mixer

OVERVIEW
Rane's answer to the multi-function dilemma. Their goal here was to create a club mixer flexible enough for any type of DJ, in any setting, without taking up a lot of space. After preliminary testing, Rane has achieved all those goals.
1) Keeping to the 10" format, Rane has made the most versatile mixer in this range. If you've used a conventional, wide format club mixer, then you will understand why this is such an advancement.
2) Works with any sound system, club and home, anywhere in the world. A universal, 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz internal power supply allows using the mixer anywhere in the world without adapters; XLR, TRS or RCA connections eliminates mismatching plugs; and there are even 2 headphone jacks to accommodate 1/8" and 1/4" plugs.
3) Sound. We stand by that Rane's have the best sound. And to ensure this quality Rane has included 2 key features:
1. Auto Gain feature automatically adjusts sound when switching sources. The sound will never be too quiet or clipped.
2. Full cut, accelerated slope EQs, the best available.
3. New Penny & Giles faders. All 4 faders are the P&G, quickly becoming the industry high-end standard.
4. Extras. The Empath features many innovations not found on other mixers:
a. Assignable CD triggers work with any CD player.
b. Two band headphone EQ.
c. Effects processors assignable to all 3 channels plus mic.
d. Four function Level meters read stereo cue, stereo master mix, split cue, or main output.
Verdict: Pluses
Sound quality, Rane construction, multiple features, simplicity of use. This is definitely the easiest, most intuitive 3 channel mixer we've tested. Although we have not tried this in a club system situation, based on Rane's track record, we can conclude that it is top of the line.
Verdict: Minuses
No true weaknesses. Price is high, but reasonable for a full featured club mixer. Battle DJs might find the face to be to cluttered.

MP 2016S Rotary Mixer

OVERVIEW
This is the upgraded "S" version of the MP2016 rotary mixer and replaces the MP 2016a with a new internal universal power supply (100-240 VAC). All other functions and features are identical to the previous MP2016a model. All previous versions are compatible with the new "S" versions.
Created to model after the legendary Urei rotary mixers, the Rane MP2016S mixer brings the great sound that rotary mixers of the past were known for into the digital age. The MP2016S is a standalone product that functions like a traditional Urei 2016 but with the inclusion of the optional (not included) XP2016S board the MP2016S gets supercharged to include a 3 band EQ for each channel as well as an adjustable contour crossfader.
Other great additions include an effects loop switch, seperate booth and house outputs to be able to monitor either with headphones or in the booth (can be controlled with a switch), and split cueing which was a feature not included in the original MP2016.
Take into account the durability and great sound that Rane mixers provide and you get a rotary mixer that DJs of the past could only dream of.

Turntablism is alive and more creative than ever. Rane and Serato are proud to be supporting partners in that creativity with the introduction of the Rane Sixty-One and Sixty-Two Mixers for Serato Scratch Live.

These mixers more tightly integrate performers, music, software, and hardware. The artist adds the passion, imagination and skills.
The Sixty-One is a plug-and-play package supporting two-deck digital vinyl simulation, software effects and all the record and playback channels you need.

Rane
TTM 56S Mixer
lab recommended mixer for all-types of djs

LAB POINTS
- Lab highest recommendation
- versatile mixer for all types of DJing
- super-solid construction
- high quality, smooth, non-contact faders
- powerful 3 band EQ
- 4 inputs
- excellent sound quality
- top notch, Rane customer support and service
OUR OPINION
This is the first mixer we usually recommend to our customers. The main strength of the TTM 56s is the quality of the construction and components. It is very rare that our customers report problems with this mixer, and in the rare case they do, Rane is excellent with warranty service repairs. We've had a 56 at our New York store DJ booth for over 5 years and it still works perfectly (and it gets heavy daily use). Secondly, the functionality is excellent. Rane's non-contact fader is one, if not the best, on the market; and the accelerated slope EQs are powerful and great for mixing. Like the Technics 1200, the Rane TTM 56s is a trusted DJ staple and will last you for years. Highly recommended.
TTM56 TO TTM56S IMPROVEMENTS
- universal internal power supply works anywhere in the world (100-240 VAC)
- all four inputs are now Phono/Line switchable, now letting you plug in 4 turntables or 4 CD players, or any combination
- both 1/4" and 3.5 mm headphone jacks
- transform switches are now kill switches
- operation is simplified by putting all the controls you need on top, and increasing the width by one inch
MANUFACTURER's REVIEW
Rane takes performance mixer design as seriously as performing DJs take their art form. The TTM 56S is flexible, durable, and feature packed. The audio quality of the TTM 56S qualifies it for use in the most demanding live venue, recording studio or live broadcast applications. Non-Contact Magnetic Crossfader and Channel Faders: These magnetic faders know exactly what your hand is doing! A proprietary curve-translation module converts your hand motion into precise audio level control. Each of the Crossfader and Channel Fader controls include a Reverse switch and an independent continuously adjustable Contour control, adjusting from a smooth blend to extremely fast cut. Post-Fader FlexFx: Raneâ™s proprietary FlexFx effects loop switches route Program 1 and/or Program 2 to the effects loop. A Wet/Dry pan control gives the user total control of how much processed signal is in the mix. The effects loop is post-fader, so reverb and other delay effects respond to both Channel Faders and Crossfader without cutting off tails.

TTM 57SL Mixer + Serato Scratch Live
high-end mixer integrated with Serato controls + interface

LAB POINTS
- full-featured, high end mixer with integrated Serato interface
- includes Serato Scratch Live software
- on-board programmable controls allow you to control Serato Scratch Live (SSL) program without using keyboard and mouse
- long lasting, non-contact magnetic faders
- free updates to newest versions of SSL
- gives you access SSL's powerful effects (other mixers can't access them)
- record your sets or (2) analog sources simultaneously (ie. ripping vinyl)
OUR OPINION
With the TTM-57, Rane has raised the bar for 2 channel mixers once again. This mixer is built on the platform of the TTM-56 (already the gold standard for 2 channel mixers), and features the Serato Live interface built-in. The obvious effect is that you no longer need the Serato hub and all its extra wires, but more importantly, you can control the Serato program directly from the mixer with a new set of programmable controls. These controls open up new avenues for live mixing, letting you access songs, loops, and cue points faster and in the rhythm of mix (reducing the need for the laptop keyboard). In addition, the TTM-57 gives you full access to SSL's locked functions like effects and advanced video features (which are only available through select hardware models). On top of all that, as with all Rane products, you can be ensured of the highest quality across the board: durability, parts, sound quality, user friendliness, and customer service. Highly recommended.

Scratch Live has special abilities only available with the TTM 57SL
Two Digital Effects Processors are installed in the TTM 57SL mixer instead of the software so they are available even when Scratch Live is not running. Effects may be synced to BPM and include echo, sweeping filters, phasing and flanging. The "soft" section of controls has multiple functions for controlling Scratch Live from the matched physical controls on the TTM 57SL. They also assign the Internal Digital Effects when the mixer is operated stand-alone without a computer. Six different preset groups optimize common controls for playback, cue/looping, effects, recording and library. You can customize any control or assign to MIDI with a right-click. Footswitch controls are mapped here as well.

XP 2016S (Expander for MP 2016S)

OVERVIEW
The XP 2016S is an optional external processor designed specifically for use with the MP 2016S. It adds 3-band EQ control, accelerated slope, an active crossfader with contour control, and more to the MP2016S.
FEATURES
The XP 2016S is intended to mount above or below the MP 2016S. It connects with a single 10-inch ribbon cable and is engaged with the flip of a switch on the MP 2016S front panel. If an XP 2016S is not connected, the XP 2016S engage switch on the MP 2016S has no effect.
The XP 2016S provides dedicated Accelerated-Slope, 3-band, full-cut tone controls for each of the six stereo Input channels, A-Post-B Crossfader Assign switches for all six Input channels, a high-performance Active Crossfader with full range Contour control, and a stereo 10-segment peak dBu Master/Cue Meter with peak hold.
The six stereo, post Mix Level signals in the MP 2016S are fed to the XP 2016S. When the XP 2016S is not engaged, the post Mix Level signals go directly to the Master Mix in the MP 2016S. When the XP 2016S is engaged, the stereo Master Mix comes from the XP 2016S.
If all Input channels on the XP 2016S are assigned Post-Crossfader, the Mix will be identical to the MP 2016S (with the addition of tone controls for each Input channel). For Crossfader control, simply assign a channel to the A or B side of the Crossfader. The Active Crossfader features a full-range Contour control for smooth blending or ultra fast cuts.
The Master/Cue Meter follows the source selection of the headphone monitor on the MP 2016S. If Master is selected, the XP 2016S Meter monitors the pre-house-level Master signal. If Cue is selected, the XP 2016S meter monitors the Cue Source.
The XP 2016S matches the MP 2016S ergonomics, packaged in a compact 19 inch, 3U rack mount chassis, 5 inches deep.

Rodec
Scratchbox Mixer
high end scratch mixer
OVERVIEW
Rodec has been in the game longer than most (since 1954!) and have a reputation for the highest quality sound, headroom, and EQ. They've teamed up with some of the world's best scratch DJs to put together the Scratch Box - a high end scratch mixer with all the features modern turntablists need and the top notch sound quality Rodec is famous for.
FEATURES
The Scratch box is a 4 channel mixer (2 phono/4 line) with FX return, session and backtape in. Technically speaking this thing is a beast with powerful triple tone EQs, cut switches, smooth and silky faders, and reverse switches for everything (check the long list of features below for specifics). Cosmetically, it will immediately get looks from other DJs thanks to its unique matte silver front and top panel and elegant aluminium anodised smooth scratchplate. It may not be as common as Vestax or Pioneer, but if quality is what you are after, you cannot go wrong with this mixer.

M.203 Mixer
basic entry level mixer
LAB POINTS
- basic 2-channel mixer
- user replaceable crossfader w/ adjustable curve
- 3-Band EQ per channel with complete kill (-64dB)
- mic input with tone control
MANUFACTURER'S REVIEW
The M.203 is a new entry-level 2-channel performance mixer, conceived with the singular goal of breaking all barriers in terms of what DJ's have come to expect in its price class. The clean and intuitive layout was designed by working DJs with the goal of giving aspiring DJs a comfortable layout with a minimum of fuss â" yet even experienced pros will be able to appreciate the instantly familiar look and feel of the M.203.
Pound for pound, the M.203 provides the most robust feature set in this price category. With full rotary 3-band EQ per channel, a rugged alpha crossfader with an ultra-accurate FET-isolated "cut" setting and fader starts (perfect for Stanton's C-series CD players) â" the M.203 provides DJs with every feature they need to start out, grow and excel in their craft.
The M.203 not only provides an amazingly comprehensive feature set, but also shares the same attractive design and rugged steel inner-chassis construction as the M.207, giving it a look and feel far more expensive than its price would indicate.

M.207 Mixer
versatile mixer with effects and sampler
OVERVIEW
Stanton's M.207 is an innovative, affordable and rugged 2-channel mixer with unique features like FXGlide, integrated digital effects, and an onboard sampler for DJs looking to enhance their performance abilities.
FEATURES
The M.207 continues Stanton's dedication to the DJ mixer market, with an abundance of innovative features onboard. The M.207's unique user interface for controlling effects - the FXGlide, is a continuous strip touch controller utilizing the same innovative touch-slider technology that is used in Stanton's award-winning SCS.3d MIDI controller. In addition to providing real-time performance capabilities, the FX control can also be automated in real-time. This allows the DJ to create a custom modulation of the FX parameter, and then have that play back instead of the normal sweeping FX.
A new class of frequency dependent effects are also available on the M.207. With this feature, the FX can be applied to any of three specific frequency bands, without affecting the other frequencies. The M.207 also features an integrated phrase/loop sampler, making the M.207 more than just a durable, high-quality mixer. The layout is clean and oriented towards live performance and scratch mixing and also features quality faders and crossfader with reverse and cut slope.
The M.207 is not only innovative in its feature-set, but also dependably rugged in its construction and contemporary in its look and feel. Made of heavy gauge steel with a sleek black and silver color scheme, the M.207 has the look and feel that reinforces this mixer's high-quality, high-reliability design.
OUR OPINION
For under $400, the M.207 has a lot to offer, from the variety off effects, the sampler, and high quality construction (noticeably heavier than Stanton's previous models) and faders. For DJs looking to get more performance out of their sets, this is a good choice.

VMC-002XLu USB Mixer - Black
OVERVIEW
The VMC-002XLu is the upgraded version of the popular (and now discontinued) VMC-002XL mixer. This new version gets a sleek black finish and adds a USB port for easy connectivity to your computer. It features a simple, durable 2 channel design, upgradable crossfader, and XLR outputs that get you professional level connectivity at a very inexpensive price.
FEATURES
The VMC-002XLu is your basic entry level, 2 channel mixer, beefed up in terms of sound quality and durability and now the addition of a USB port. The USB port is a great since you can bypass the need for an interface and record vinyl or mixes directly into your computer (recording software needed). It has 2 phono and 2 line inputs (channel 1 and channel 2), plus 1 microphone input with volume control. Each channel has trim adjustment and 3 band EQs that go from completely off (kill) to +6dB. The crossfader is an ALPS fader (upgradeable to the CF-PCV) with a curve control switch on the front panel for "soft" or "sharp" crossfading. It also has a master/cue mix knob so you can practice in the headphones. As mentioned before, one of the main attractions of this mixer is the option for professional XLR outputs, which allow you to send a higher quality signal to any piece of equipment. The VMC-002XL also offers a standard RCA out, which you could use for your "record" out.
OPINION
The VMC-002XL gives you excellent mid-level quality and features at a very economical price. It's an ideal choice for most non-club situations (home and small studio), and with it's three band EQs and XLR outs could even be used in a club if you were in a pinch. It's compact size won't take up too much space, and it has all the necessary features for most dj's (and digital DJs now with the addition of a USB port)0. Scratch DJs will like possibility of upgrading to a PCV crossfader and there really isn't much more you can ask for at this price range.
