My new favorite mixer brand is Behringer. They make a lot of outboard gear
and just a year or two ago got into dj mixers. They only have 3 models:
DX100- 2 channel-too simple. nice but not worth picking up.
DX500- this is tasty. 3 channel with a great crossfader some nice features
and get this a 12 second sampler. all for less than $250. this mixer is made
at the same level as a Rane or Allen & Heath new pieces and totally rocks.
they only thing really missing is individual channel sends if you want to
use it for keyboards, etc.
DX1000-a monster. huge and impressive. I have one of these at home and use
it for recording radio shows, etc. I love it. I picked it up after reading a
rave review in X Fade (or was it International DJ or DJ EQ??). the only
downside (IMHO) is it's too big to move around. set it and forget about
moving it around. otherwise it's a great large mixer for only around
$600-700 bucks.
Allen & Heath's Xone mixers rock, but they are too damn expensive. Same for
the Pioneer models. Very nice, but too pricey I think.
We don't sell Behringers anymore so I have no vested interest in them, I
just think they make great equipment but don't have any clue how to market
them or to whom.

Subject: OT: I'm buying a new mixer
Please excuse the slightly off topic post but I just can't pass up on your
collective knowledge:
I sold my mixer (Vestax PMC 17A) and want to upgrade to a PMC 270A.
Where can I mail order one from with competitive prices. I've tried
www.123dj.com and www.thecamerapro.com. Any other cheap reputable merchants
out there I should check out? Any other mixers in the <$400 range worth
looking into? I basically want 3 or more channels, smooth fader, and clean
sound. Any and all leads would be greatly appreciated...
