FEATURES
The DJ In A Box Package comes with 2 Numark TT1610 multi-directional efficient belt drive turntables with aluminum platters which include all the basic features necessary for djing and a belt-drive motor which is not recommended for scratching (go for the Numark Battle Pak if you want to start scratching on direct drive tables). The mixer included is the Numark DM950, which features 2 channels + mic input with EQ on each channel and slider style cuing. You also get the Numark HF125 flexible 7-position headphones, 2 Groove Tool cartridges, slipmats, and all necessary cables so you can start djing right out the box.
OUR OPINION
The DJ In A Box Package is perfect for the beginner that wants to start djing at a very affordable price. You get everything you need, but due to the nature of the belt-drive turntable - this set up is not recommended for those wanting to cut or scratch. Check out the Battle Pak for a package with direct drive decks. -the mgmnt
