From the brand

Numark was founded in New Jersey in 1971.

At the time, Numark developed a significant following for its mixers, turntables, and speaker enclosures and was considered to be one of the leading manufacturers in the DJ industry.

In the 80s the company made its mark again, introducing the world’s first mixer with a built-in sampler allowing DJs to do their own drops on the fly by sampling a beat, sound effect, or even their own voice.

Needs more types of outputs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

I was going to use this for background Mp3 tracks but why not just use an ipod or iPad. It's lacking in outputs and RCA to XLR just is not a good connection. Unbalanced to balanced don't work well. Cd player seems solid. It would have been nice to have a line out on such a high end unit. It's great for RCA cable enthusiast. I hate them.

Make sure you check what voltage is selected on the back.

I've been playing with this cdj for a few days now and the layout is easy to understand. I especially like how easy it is to switch folders on the usb stick by pressing the handy folder button. The scratch feature works albeit with a little latency that makes a reverse chirp scratch and really fast chirp scratches kinda difficult to get the crisp vinyl sound, but skribbles, transform scratches, fast or slow forward scratches(cuts) and slow chirps are all crisp enough. The only problem I had with these was after unboxing the power switch in the back was set to the wrong power setting for the U.S.A. and the pitch control when higher than 15% is hard to dial in the exact decimal of pitch you want. 1 more problem that has only happened once so far is that with scratch feature enabled the usb track skipped in the middle of a mix. It was a home session so not a big deal, but I pray it doesn't happen while recording or even worse live.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I use it in my dance studio because I need variable speed. It works great. The USB port is helpful but it took awhile to discover it only plays MP3 on a USB of 16GB or less. The computer USB port requires DJ software to function. That was disappointing as I was hoping to use it to exchange music - record from NDX500 to computer, play from computer to NDX500. All in all I liked my NDX200 better as it seemed more sturdy, but 200 lacks USB and playing music from USB has been helpful.

Faulty software? Tried 5 machines that did not work.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 5, 2019

I've opened two Numark NDX500s brand new out of the box, and both have been faulty so far.

First one powered up with all blue lights, then after about a minute of no activity, all the lights went on and the header displayed "boot Numark" and stayed there. I made the mistake of trying to insert a CD to see if it would respond, but it ate my CD and never registered that the disc was in there (the source light in the upper left corner should have gone on).
On chat with Amazon technical support late at night -- they were unhelpful.

I got a replacement sent. Brand new, out of the box -- second one was similarly unresponsive. This time, all the lights lit up in blue, but did not do anything else. I inserted a USB drive and it flashed red (so I know the USB drive was powered), but the NDX500 did nothing. Did not register that a USB was inserted, did not read the contents, nothing.

One e-mail sent to Numark tech support sent 3 days ago has not been answered.
Two calls to Numark tech support this morning at 10am (7am my West Coast time!) were dropped on their end while I was on hold.

Extremely disappointed as I had an urgent need for this item in preparation for an upcoming gig and now, after wasting time and resources going through two of them, I may not have what I need in time.

EDIT 2 weeks after initial review: I ended up going to a local store and bought another Numark NDX500 off the shelf. Tested CD drive and USB slot in store and everything seemed to work fine... then I got home and realized that the machine READ mp3 files on stick and burned CDR, but would not PLAY them. I verified file format, tried different quality files, nothing.

Returned item to store and tested two more of this model in the store. None would play mp3 files.

Numark finally emailed me back 10 days later, did not address my specifically described issues, just asked me to give them my address. Why? That’s no help.

These units need to be taken off the market because they DO NOT WORK as described.

wouldn't turn on at first, now fixed!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

when i got two of these at first they only had a blue screen and a few lights turned on but they were not working. after contacting the manufacturer they said "it sounds like a power supply issue" so i looked on the back of the turntable and underneath the input for the power cord there is a switch "115V 60hc / 230V 50hc" my switch was on 230v 50hc. so i flipped the switch to 115v 60hc and my turntables turned on and now everything is awesome.
i did see a few 1 star reviews with my same problem but they seemed to never find out how to fix the issue.

now i am banging music loud and proud with every function working properly

BIG BANG for the BUCK!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

The Numark NDX500 is a BIG BANG for the buck! I have two of them, but ordered them on separate occasions as I only needed one for a gig that I was doing that required having a CD playback deck. This little unit plays store bought CD's as well as CDR's in both WAV and MP3 formats! Also your WAV or MP3 files from a USB thumb drive. Heck, it even connects to your PC via USB to control DJ Software! I bought the second one later just so that I could have a set of them. The jog wheels are excellent! The information window shows track # playing as well as time elapsed or remaining on a certain track OR the entire disc! Also the track text, etc. You have a choice of continuous playback or one track at a time. The features are jam packed on this puppy AND the cost cannot be beat! Highly recommend to any beginner or intermediate DJ's out there.

Change pitch -- away from 1930s and nazi-designed 440 Hz tuning: fixes that problem EASY!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

A very interesting piece of kit: tune all your audios away from 440 Hz (which was invented by the nazis in the 1930, no kidding) and play it in "Wholetones" tuning thanks to the pitch regulator. You can tune everything you play to, say, 417 Hz or 528, 396 or many others (if you so wish, and if you are aware of these matters). Go to www.wholetones.com to learn more about these matters -- this unit is an EASY FIX for the purist who want to listen to healthy sounds while playing their everyday collections. Applies to CD, USB-drive, or any other sources connected through the Line-In port on the back.

Great item!

Terrible latency and no after support

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

Been DJ-ing for 12 years and never experienced such lag/latency, and extremely poor support. Can never get through to numark and Amazon don’t have a clue, spent more than 10 minutes explaining the issue and the guy asked me did I have a problem with my track suit!

Setup, 2 x numark ndx500
I Behringer dxj900 mixer,
.
Tried 3 different laptops of 2 brands and all produce the same 22ms latency/lag between main output and headphone output. It’s almost as if the cdj’s are forcing the lag, even after adjusting latency settings though vdj8 professional.

Really am frustrated and disappointed with the service and lack of support. £600 roughly down the drain.

Does what you need it to do . I personally don't need most of the features on hand . One feature lacking on all these machines is a shuffle play function . Come on Numark add this feature and I'll buy another one
