"One of the best professional DJ gear you can buy!!!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Overall, probably the best professional built DJ MIDI controller you can purchase. The platters responsiveness alone is one of the main reasons why anyone who is interested in DJing should purchase this product... Lots of features and the quality of build from the sound the the body is great... No wonder Numark speaks highly of this thing!!! Put one in your cart... You won't regret it!!!
Sound
No problems here... Just a nice crisp and clear sound with enough bass... Definitely better than most other MIDI controllers with an Audio Interface...
Features
Probably the most responsive touch sensitive platters I have ever laid my hands on... It is very responsive... I love the built in FX and how you can assign multiple FX on each of the 4 channels... All the controls for your DJ software are on the NS6... No need to touch the computer except when turning it on and shutting it off... You can plug in external sources on the mixer, such as turntables... 5 Hot cues buttons with a delete function and a sync button for beginner to intermediate DJs... Plus, everything is illuminated...
Ease of Use
Things can get complicated if you don't know what you are doing or what you are purchasing here... There are a lot of buttons because of the amount of features this system has... But if you know what you are doing, then this is arguably one of the most easiest DJ gear you will ever work with... Literally plug and play on a Mac or Windows based PC... Driver installs automatically on Windows 7 and Mac OS X... Everything is mapped out completely with Serato Itch...
Quality
This products is well built... It is mainly made out of metal and is a tad bit heavy but that is a good thing... From buttons to knows to the inputs and outputs on the back all the way to the sound... This thing is definitely a professional quality piece of DJ gear... No doubt about it...
Value
The price for this gear is actually the right price in my opinion compared to other DJ gear around the same price range... With all the great features this thing has... It could definitely be worth a little bit more... Definitely a great value...
Manufacturer Support
Never had to used this feature... That just tells you how well Numark products are made...
The Wow Factor
This products speaks professional build and sexiness... I love the color black and red so I may be a little biased but nevertheless... This product definitely has that WOW factor when you open the box for the first time...

"Numark NS6"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The NS6 is everything you want and need in an all-in-one DJ controller. 4-channel mixer allows you to mix in more than one song at once or line up your next 1 to 3 tracks if you already know whic ones you want to play. With 8 different effects on each of the 2 channels A and B you can use 2 effects on the same deck or set A for one and B for the other. Jog wheels are super sensitive and on point making it easy to use them for beat-matching or even scratching. 5 hot cues to set throughout a track and easy-to-use looping controls. Everyting on this controller is tight and precise. Comes mapped with Serato ITCH which is a great software that's very easy to use as well. Not to metion the price i got it at...zZounds sold this for $699 before shiiping and tax as a "Blemished" product, indicating that everything is in perfect working condition but the product might have minor cosmetic blemishes. There wasn't a single scratch on it when i got it easily making this the best deal I could find on this product anywhere when you consider that these usually go for $899 to $999. Very pleased with my purchase so, THANK YOU zZounds!

"NS6 vs Numark V7"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I was very unsure of this ns6. Coming from always buying a controller with a moving platter this is really hard to get used too. I had the numark CDx which was the best media turntable ever invented, then the Numark v7 which were pretty good but started to act up after 3 years so I sold them, then I bought the real deal turntables. Turntables are great if you have time to set them up the correct me but if you are a mobile Dj and need to have something that fits all environments then the Ns6 is for you. I do miss the moving platters but I enjoy the convenience of setting up in 5 min and playing music right away. The ability of going XLR is huge. Professional grade speakers only use XLr and as a wedding dj having turntables is the holy grail of equipment but realisticy I don't need to have that do what I do. I have made over 20 mixes and all the equipment does the same thing. NOw if you want to me a DMC Champion or a Cut master then get turntables and don't waste time with MIDI controllers. But if are like me and use scratching to enhance your mixes then this is what you need. The Numark NS7 are actually better but its heavier and you have to buy an effects controller that goes with the ns7. Spending $550 vs $750 was a no brainer. PLus NS6 gives a rebate of $200 until June.

"Excellent Value + Excellent Service = !00% Satisfied Customer"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Okay, so full disclosure: I am a vinyl DJ. Been that way since way back when, but carrying vinyl (not to mention replacing them) has become beyond tedious. The Numark NS6 has foraged newer sounds that enable me to remix tracks live, so much so that when patron ask what track I just played, I can show them the screen with confidence knowing that if I can't remember what combinations I just did, they probably won't be able to either. I am enjoying the freedom of creativity with this unit. Bear in mind, this controller by itself (as with all controllers) will not make you mix better or become a mix master, but with enable you to expand on your creativity without sacrificing the musical integrity.

"Numark NS6 D.J. Controller"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This is an awesome and powerful controller, which delivers turntable like control, and response. It's sleek, responsive, and packs a mean punch in sound quality that both a turntablist and novice can appreciate. Whether blending, cutting & dicing or scratching, the NS6 is more than capable of meeting the demands of even the most skilled D.J. You can't get more bang for your buck!

Musical Background:

I've been a D.J. since the 90's back when turntables were aD.J.'s only option. I've spun in both clubs and private parties.

Musical Style:

My favorite music is House music, although I grew up on old skool Hip Hop...conscientious Hip Hop.

"My take on the Numark NS6..."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The controller perfect for what I enjoy. I was looking to upgrade from my older M-Audio (Torq xponent) system and the NS6 truly helped me do that and although I'll still use my xponent for smaller venues the NS6 will handle the bigger crowds from now on.... My issue here was the itch software. In my opinion the worst software I've ever encountered. Other than that thank you guys for a great product.

"Great! Except... :("

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I love this product, except for the poor quality of several of the buttons, but mainly the hot cue buttons. I have had to send it back twice in the first year of ownership, and Numark is not easy to deal with when it comes to getting service. I have had to bend over backwards to get answers instead of them bending mover backwards for me the customer with a legitimate complaint on a defective product with poor quality craftsmanship. Sadly also, Serato Itch is a resource hog and has some unexcusable glitches sometimes out of the blue. Serato has discontinued any further Itch programs, and will not offer a free Serato DJ upgrade to Itch customers. Thank goodness for that one. If convinced to go with Numark, I would strongly suggest looking at the NS7 so that you don't experience the frustrations that I have.

I was completely satisfied with the Numark NS6! It was a great piece of hardware, and worked perfectly with the included software. The included version of serato itch is very user friendly and easy to understand. The platters are amazingly responsive feel great to use. The NS6 includes a feature that helps you to match the beats of multiple songs without even looking at your laptop. The effects area, and library navigation are very useful and helpful. It is an overall wonderful piece of equipment! I would recommend it to any and everyone, of all DJing levels.
