I use the same mixer (without the amp) and it's a great piece of kit.

On the SFX it has a voice cancel function which works pretty well, you can use it to get rid of explicit lyrics when you know they are coming.

Do you intend to use this mixer for DJing then? Surely this is more suited to a band or production.

[Dream Catchers 0]

It's perfect for DJ and Karaoke.

The only down side to it is there is no cue outputs on each channel.

Answer is , not for dj'ing really,

 

With moving to greece im going to concentrating on karaoke with music inbetween. So looking for a mixer/amp combined to save lugging everything about, And with dsp on it,

Its only 150watts per side at the usual 8 ohms, and thats maximum!

 

Wont power much from that to be honest, my hifi has a bigger amp! haha

The ability to listen to each channel before it goes live is a fundamental requirement of DJing IMO, so I find this statement a contradiction in terms.

Better going for this one as this is the later version of the PMH1000

 

PMP 1000

 

This will give you more power.

Both are rack mountable. I have the PMH1000, PMH5000, PMP1000,

 

The PMP series is much better.

On the face of it yes, but........

I use PCDJ and have the cue from that on my laptop headphone out then on to a little pre amp for my headphones :joe:

Clear as mud.

I had the PMH3000 and found it a little underpowered for what I wanted so went back to seperate amp.

 

I'm now using the same mixer though, but without the amp and find it brill.

 

the only disadvantage I found is that the mon out is pre-fader, which I wanted to use for the powered sub, but I've got round this by using the CD out sockets.

Im getting confused now,

 

Cant make me mind up which way foward,

 

The only other way is to keep my current setup and purchase a 19" rackmount mixer with dsp for the mics,

Or a seperate echo reverb unit and wire it in that way.

 

 

Any more advice?

Numark 200fx I believe it to be the best VFM mixer for Karaoke.

What kind of work are you doing with this mixer.. is it 90% Karaoke or 50/50 or mostly DJ work with the karaoke once in a while...

 

if your serious about your DJ work then get a DJ mixer with effects send and return loops on each channel..

 

add a little mixer with effects piped into your main DJ mixer where you controll all the music levels and over all mic levels..

 

if your 90% karaoke then get a nice multi channel audio desk type mixer ....

 

behringer im sure do a echo/reverb unit that can be racked up with all your DJ gear to provide effects for karaoke and then you have a choice of any DJ mixer you like..

90% karaoke

 

Moving away from the dj'ing and towards the karaoke side.

Got several hotels in greece that ive managed to secure work with . Purely karaoke.

 

Ive looked at the numark mixer and it looks ok, just wonder what its like in use, what the reverd is like etc

The FX unit is Alesis all the FX you need, and you can assign the FX to each channel.

We used to do the repairs for a Behringer dealer and they had alot of powered behringer powered mixers back, the output stage seemed to self-destruct alot, writing off the whole thing.

The below is much more expensive but it (or it's bigger brothers) is a superb machine.

Excellent control over the sound and they last forever.

Dynacord Powermate

 

They also make a DJ version,

Good luck with your purchase,

Numark 200FX

 

Just to bring up this old thread - im decided now - keeping my basic setup and just changing the mixer for a numark 200fx -

 

 

Currently looking at one of these - £95 inc p&p

 

Whatcha reckon?

 

 

or has anyone got one going here?

That's the one I currently use. It can take up to 5 mics and add effects to them.

 

The main reason I went for this one was the mic effects coupled with the normal DJ mixer. It's an OK mixer - nothing bad or special but OK. The mic effects are good though.

 

Two things that I miss though (& overlooked) - no auto music fade on talkover on the main mic and no BNC for a light.

Got to be honest (Jokes aside)

You could do a lot worse than Maplin's MMX 410 mixer, good echo etc
