    Default New Mixer

    I'm in the market for a new 4 channel mixer and since my budget isn't very much (400-500 tops, barring any work bonuses/xmas gifts I don't yet know about) which means I'm looking at mixers like the Behringer DJX900 or NOX606 (any idea on a release date?) or the Denon DN-X1100. Anyone have any experience with these or any other recommendations?

    Thanks guys.

    Also, inb4 Behringer hate.

    Dollars. It seems that the entire NOX line except for the 606 is released in the US. I've heard mixed reviews for the DDM and I'm hesitant to buy anything from Behringer even though they are the best mixers in my price range.

    Only thing most people on here will gripe about the DDM is the headphone jack placement and the low quality feel of knobs and faders,
    other than that its a tank.

    @NOX 606, strange, theres a behringer speciallist on here, i think its nem0nic?

    Message him about it.

    I did awhile ago when it was supposed to be released and that was in march I believe. He said something about 2nd quarter 2011. That has obviously passed.

    My DDM works just fine and i actually like the feel of the knobs and faders (although i dont really work them hard).

    If you are lucky you can find one for 200-250.

    Behringer is not the best mixer in any price range, as far as i'm concerned.

    Idea 1: Vestax. Anything in that price range is better than anything Behringer makes.

    Idea 2: I have a (painted) blue UK-made xone:62 that I'm willing to part with for about that price range. PM me if you're interested.

    The funny thing is that when I bought the xone, I was actually shopping for a vestax and couldn't find one…I still haven't gotten a straight answer as to whether the 004 and 280 were actually discontinued or if the places I checked just didn't stock them because people don't upgrade Vestaxes as often as crappier mixers.

    Disclaimer: I'm a Vestax fanboy. If I manage to sell my xone, I'll be shopping for a Vestax again.
