3.0 out of 5 stars Decent mixer with one major drawback., April 4, 2008

This review is from: Behringer VMX100 2-Channel DJ Mixer with Beat Counter (Electronics)

This is a great mixer, easy to understand and master.
One major drawback is that you are unable to monitor the main output via headphones,
only channel 1 & 2. This is a big drawback for DJ's who want to do a direct check of what is going out to the speakers.
Other than that,not a bad mixer at all.

Ok, I got into true DJing about 2 weeks ago, and I was looking for an entry level setup at a reasonable price. I ordered this mixer and 2 Numark NDX400 CD/MP3 players. Let me address the pro's and cons of this mixer that I have discovered so far:

Pros:

Surprisingly durable construction. The whole housing is constructed of metal, with plastic faders and knobs. The faders and knobs feel rather cheap, which didn't really surprise me, given the price.

Crossfader is good. Durable, no; but you won't be hearing the other track through the mains when you're all the way over to the other side.

Cons:

The BPM counter, the main selling point of this product, is absolute junk. If this is a big point for you, look elsewhere, because it's nowhere near in the ballpark. I have decent BPM counters on my NDX400s, and they are way closer on the guess than the VMX100's. Put tape over the screens or something, because all they will do is distract you.

EQ is a little lacking. First off, it's 2-band (Low and High) not 3-band (Low, Mid, and High), and this kinda bummed me out. The "Kill" option works decently well at taking off the bass so that you can combine songs without clashing basslines, but the High kill leaves a lot to be desired. I was looking for that underwater-type effect when I killed it, which I'm guessing if it had a Mid-EQ I could achieve. No such luck here though.

Bottom line is this: If you're looking for a 2-channel DJ mixer just to get you started into beatmatching, phrase-matching, etc. then this mixer is perfect for you. Nothing on it has died/fizzled out so far, so I'll say it's reliable. If you're looking for a feature-rich mixer, keep moving, because this thing gives you the bare bones, and that's it.

This is a good mixer, a good start if you ever want to get your feet wet. The drawback is it is only a channel mixer with no pitch changing or beat mapping/altering. A good start though.
