Morning boys - it was a scam advert - thought it was too good to be true - I'm gonna link the ad here so people don't fall for it.

Won't put all my emails in here but it's a well known Gum Tree scam apparently:

All the emails I got match that thread exactly - so stay away folks

Now, FEP - how about £350 for yours then

£350? i would not of even emailed them.

at £500 i would of still thought it too good to be true

[Shane Says]

haha yeah that was pretty obvious. Either way at least you know what to look for when you're testing out a used mixer.

Can a DJM owner damage internal parts of the mixer by continually operating the the mixer in the Red? More specifically the the input VU's in the red and or the Master in the red?

Yes and no. Yes, in theory, but no in most practical situations, it depends on your setup.

The gains are the only meaningful analogue component of the digital DJMs, they're pre-ADC. Thus, it's actually possible to fry them a bit by clipping them too hard for too long. Keeping in mind that DJM's actually "clip" about 5 theoretical LEDs above the "OVER" meter level. That being said, I have seen some shit and it's definitely a thing.

However, in a conventional CDJs and a DJM setup, using the analogue inputs is retarded and actually more work for less reward than using the S/PDIF lines. The digital gains are completely, well, digital, and thus aren't prone to hot-signal wear. An analogue gain circuit can get worn out from an overloaded signal, but a different pattern of 1's and 0's isn't going to make the DSP/SRC go all SHODAN on you.
