I currently have this old jbsystems mixer (which I dind't pay for, still borowing it for a year now) but it completly suck (like when u open up 2 channels without moving the master switch, the output gets a lot louder) I'm sick and tired of trying to mix with that piece of crap. So I decided to buy a new one, but I dunno which one I should buy. My price ranges from bout 150 to 200 euros (if possible to get good quality for that price). We'll basically all I want is a 3-channel (with at least 2 channels with 3-band eq) and a crossfader (coz the one I got doesn't even have that!!!). So now it's up to you to help me, plz thx Bigup

don't buy a numark.
mine (DM 3050) started doing weird after 5 months, the crossfader and the lights didn't work anymore (so I don't know if I'm in the red)

I guess you could look into the stanton M.303 or M.304 or vestax VMC004. They are a bit over your budget, but probably better than other stuff you'll get for that price.

@emmetje: I put some more hints on 3 channel mixers for you here: DJ shops in belgië/belgique

the Numark DM0000 series do suck balls..that i will agree 100% but for that price range the Numark DXM06 is your best bet...i've had mine for over a year and it still runs 100% and i use it for shows all the time...most people will tell you to save up for either a pioneer DJM series or a Xone...really depends what your style is..turntablism or just pure beat juggling/matching...but you can't go wrong with the DXM for the price..whatever you do dont ever get those cheap behringer pioneer rip offs..bloody things are piles

that's what i have and mine works great. the effects are relatively worthless but the quality of the mixer is good. i haven't blown the fader yet.

Very true but i'd be a bit wary of ebay,can be quite hit or miss. After using the 800, its a fukin beauty!!! So many things u can do with it only bad thing is that the crossfader is not so good for scratching but its not really designed for that anyway.

seriously ? Huh flush it down the toilet before it tries to eat your soul man.
i had a behringer dx1000 for about three years, in those three years i have worn out every single channel on that mixer.
it's no-fuckin-good i tell ya

allen & heat Pleased bu that's too expensive.
i'd say save up a lil n buy something vestax/ecler/stanton-y

seriously if you're only gonna spend 250 on a mixer u might as well throw it away

yes i have to agree the 800 is pimp shit mang,but the 600 does do a good job for the money. the 500 isnt set up the same fx wise and does not have a sampler.the 800 has harmonic correction,totally assignable midi knobs(if you want to control your laptop or midi devices from it) and a arsenal of devastating effects.im going to by a 800 as soon as i get the chance .honestly anything else except a allen heath xone is a waste of money(and yes the Behringer is a waste of money and fuck numark=poomark).
