if you only need three channels, and would like some FX to play with... this is the perfect choice for an intermediate dj, and at a great price to boot.
Sound
24-bit digital sound, baby. works great with my tt500's.
Features
i like the feel of the controls on this mixer. i can't imagine mixing without the built-in digital effects array now that i've gotten used to having the option to tweak my sound, especially before, during, and after breakdowns! i'm looking to get rid of mine now because unfortunately, i've outgrown it. i need something with more inputs so i can hook up a third turntable, sampler, etc.
Ease of Use
when you first get your hands on one of these, you'll spend the first week playing with the effects, eq kills, etc. i'd recommend going to numark's site. there you can download the owner's manual in pdf form so you really know what you're getting functionality-wise before you make your decision.
Quality
rock solid... period. all mixers have one sure vulnerability: the faders. luckily, these are easily replaced.
Value
a great value, especially now that the price dropped due to this model's discontinuation. pick one up while they're still around.
Manufacturer Support
they have answered any questions i have had about the product promptly.
The Wow Factor
it's fairly attractive between the decks, the flashing tap button can be distractive when you're not using it though...
