$700 budget mixer recommendations

[tyfurious]

Looking for an analogue mixer, my budget is $700ish. Any recommendations? Requirements are fx send/return with gain, likes are more than 2 channels (not necessary), and my style is y-cadets and house music (no scratching).

Current Dn-x600 and ecler nuo 2.0 are my two choices, looking to not go too far past 700. Rane's 56 seemed too hip-hop/scratch for me. Any thoughts?

Edit: Nuo 3.0, my bad, on iphone ;D

I use the Denon X500, and Vestax 004xl. Both are 4 channels, and well under your budget. I have not seen the Ecler in person, so it is difficult to recommend for or against.

Based on my experience with Denon, I can recommend the X600.

Most ppl are negative towards denon, nice to see something good on them. Any thoughts on their built in should card? 0.o

Agreed...if you can find a nice clean used mixer by AH, Ecler or Rane you'd be good to go.

I have not used or compared the built in sound cards. But, like most built in effects on entry level units...they are after thoughts to tick some box that marketing or sales really wanted ticked.

I will probably stick with external cards for the time being. For $100, the NI Audio 2 card will be hard to beat.

I'd go for the nuo 3.0.

Zone 42,'not many effects, just a hpf,lpf and bandpass filter

I have a KP3, so lack of FX aren't that big of a deal, although they aren't a bother. Really digging the idea of the DN-X600, might pick that up O.o
