Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed by the seasoned audio professionals at Stanton, the SMX-401 three-channel mixer is built with club and mobile DJs in mind. Outfitted with Stanton's Superior Sound Technology (SST)--recognized for its ultra-low-noise circuitry, high dynamic range, and bleed-free signals--the device can accommodate up to three turntables, six line-level sources, and two microphones. Even better, its impressive collection of features mirrors those of the best studio and broadcast mixers. Among its variety of functions are gain controls and three-band equalizers for each channel (plus an additional three-band mic equalizer), which make it easy to match levels and adjust the tone; individual kill switches for isolating or removing frequencies from the mix; a Penny & Giles crossfader; and user-replaceable channel faders, a trait shared by all Stanton mixers.

Connectivity is enhanced by the balanced 1/4-inch master and booth outputs for connecting to amplifiers, equalizers, crossovers, and other outboard signal processors. Additional jacks include line-level inputs for sources such as CD players, minidisk players, DATs, and samplers; TT inputs for turntables; combo 1/4-inch/XLR mic inputs; and a record output for hooking up tape or CD recorders. DJs also have the choice of using either 1/4- or 1/8-inch stereo headphones when running the SMX-401 thanks to the dual headphone jacks. Once setup is complete, DJs can monitor the inputs via the PFL cue switches, which come complete with a cue pan control for splitting the signal within the headphones. For creative mixing, the SMX-401 also offers an effects loop with 1/4-inch send and return jacks.

The SMX-401 carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

This review is from: Stanton SMX-401 3-Channel DJ Mixer (Electronics)

I'VE BEEN D.J.'N FOR 17 YEARS AND HAVE WORKED WITH AND TRIED SEVERAL MIXERS. I HAVE A SOUND STUDIO/MIXER IN MY HOME. THIS WAS A NICE MIXER TO HOOK UP EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE. I HAD TWO DUAL CD PLAYERS AND TWO TURNTABLES HOOKED UP AND PUMPED UP FOR MIXING. I ALSO HAD MY COMPUTER EQUIPMENT PLUGGED INTO EVERYTHING TO RECORD MY OWN CDS. THIS MIXER WAS OUTSTANDING. IT HAS THREE SINGLE KILL SWITCHES FOR EACH OF THE TREBBLE, BASS, AND MIDS. IT HAS A SWEET DJ BOOTH CONTROL FOR A SEPERATE ROOM, IF YOU HAVE ONE. I'VE OWNED MIXERS FROM NUMARK, GEMINI, TECHNIQUES, AND STANTON.

Whether mixing house, techno, or trance from vinyl or CDs, the SMX-401 has got all the bases covered, thanks to 3 phono inputs, 6 line inputs and 2 mic inputs with independent EQ. Each channel sports Gain control, bright input LED meters, a 3-band EQ + full Kill capability, as well as Pan knobs. A full-featured Cue section includes PFL, Cue Pan, and dual headphone outputs for tag-team mixing.

Professional DJs will immediately appreciate the SMX-401's 3-band Kill switches for channels 1 and 3, conveniently located right next to the genuine Penny & Giles crossfader. For creative mixing, the SMX-401 also offers an Effects loop with
