No longer available at zZounds
Get the party started with the all-in-one Numark iCDMIX3 DJ mixer, which features an iPod dock, dual CD player, and a high-contrast VFD display.

Considered an industry standard for more than 10 years, Numark CDMIX systems consist of a dual CD player and mixer together in one easy-to-carry unit for mobile DJs working events, clubs that need to be able to pack away their system quickly and any other DJ on the move. Setup and teardown are fast and easy with CDMIX systems, because you don't spend as much time running cables and testing levels as with traditional component setups.

iCDMIX 3 is the one of the first CDMIXes to feature an integrated Universal Dock for iPod, enabling you to play music from virtually any docking iPod. iCDMIX 3 is designed for professional use, housed in an all-metal chassis for years of rugged, reliable performance. The housing also has rack ears so you can mount it in a rack or CDMIX CASE 3 for secure transport or fixed installations. For easily locating tracks in a folder system you'll appreciate iCDMIX 3's high-contrast VFD display.

iCDMIX 3 contains a dual-deck MP3/CD player with all of the functionality and capabilities professional DJs expect in standalone units. iCDMIX 3 plays CD, CD-R, and MP3-CD discs so you can carry fewer discs. For performance reliability in unpredictable environments iCDMIX 3 features Numark's electronically buffered Anti-Shock(tm) skip protection.

You can rapidly access points within a track using the multifunction jog/shuttle wheels. The wheels are also helpful for controlling pitch bend. You can pitch tracks up and down for easy beat matching. To help with beat read more matching, iCDMIX 3 automatically detects BPM and also enables you to manually tap in tempo.

In addition to standard single-track and continuous playback, iCDMIX 3 offers programmable playback so you can set up a sequence of tracks for convenient playback. You can also set cue points in real time for creative performance. iCDMIX 3 has Fader Start, which can automatically start cued-up playback when you move the crossfader.

iCDMIX 3 has a three-channel mixer section that is complete and on par with standalone mixers. It has a mic channel and a dedicated channel for the iPod, as well as replaceable crossfader and pre-fader cueing controls. For the main channels, you can switch between the onboard CD players or rear-panel RCA inputs for additional CD players, additional iPods or turntables with preamps such as TTX USB or TTi. You can cue with headphones using 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch stereo headphone outputs with level control. iCDMIX 3 has professional outputs for compatibility with virtually any system.

I'm happy with what this unit has feature-wise. Yes, I will be upgrading in the future just because DJ Software/ controllers are becoming more popular and useful, but it doesn't hurt to keep this as a backup unit for what it has to offer.

Sound
Very nice sound. Although I'm using Sony MDR-V150 ($20 at your local Wal-Mart), it's probably the reason why my headphone Cue sound is a bit lower than expected. Cranking the Cue Gain does help a bit, but it's not noticeably different.

Features
For the price, you can't beat it. Numark hit the ball out of the park with this unit. For a $350 unit, you get 2 CD & mixer combo. The CD functionality is as follows: MP3 playback w/ ID3 tag capability,Folder search function, Auto BPM/ TAP function (very useful when mixing), 4,8, & 16% pitch range w/ Keylock (Just like master tempo on CDJs, adjust the speed of a song without affecting the pitch), seamless looping function with reloop, and pitch bending. The jog wheel feels very well built, it does have a scratch feature, which is more of an effect, than a feature, because it will not stop the song unlike on turntables or pricier CDJs. The mixer portion of the unit is very nice. Before Numark would not include a 3-band EQ on any of their CDMix line of units, but now you get 3-band EQs on all your channels! You can also hook an iPod/ AUX to this unit as well, which is very nice as a backup.

Ease of Use
Any read more professional or amateur can use this deck with ease. It does not take a genius to work this thing, it is very laid out like most traditional dual-CD units. If you want to use turntables with this or other CD players it's possible, just hook it up through the rear of the unit in the line/ phono ins. You can also connect an axillary to this too, if you have a backup CD player and such, so it'll basically be a 3-deck unit!

Quality
This unit is very well built. The faders feel very sturdy as well as the jog wheel, and the cross-fader is smooth, although you won't be able to scratch with it, it is user replaceable just in case it does go bad in the future. Nothing feels cheap about this unit at all!

Value
For what I paid and what features this unit has to offer, I am very pleased. I don't think there is any product on the market that has what this has to offer for the price!

Manufacturer Support
I have not dealt with Numark as far as warranty issues or anything with this, but e-mailing them on more information on this product, I did not get a response, but they're probably really busy. Then again, many at DJForums.com say that Numark's product support isn't the best, but I can see why, with all these new amazing products coming out from them!

The Wow Factor
The look of this unit is very professional. The black/ gray color scheme is very nice. Everything seems in place on how Numark designed this product.
