It also ushered in the widespread use of the innovative dual VCF filters. We loved the inclusion of the Illuminated light pipes that show the status and output of performance controls.
The soundcard inside the Xone produces some of the cleanest sound available on the market, and overall this is one of the most satisfying mixers to ever have been produced! It perfectly blends the traditional elements, used for decades by scratch artists, with modern tools and features seamlessly.
Designed to be paired with the fantastic Serato DJ Pro software, this adds a further layer of control to your creative output. Battle mixers are usually small chassis, two-channel mixers with simple layouts. The faders are smooth and durable and made to last through a heap of heavy use. The simple and uncluttered layout helps with lowering the chance of accidentally hitting the wrong button while beat juggling or scratching.
Pioneer have designed the DJM S9 to be super lightweight. That does mean there is a distinct lack of metal in the chassis — this has been replaced with industrial-strength plastic. Pioneer have also included a 3.

With some of the best build quality in its class, a wide array of effects, a solid filter section, and an inbuilt three port USB hub.
We reckon this is a solid choice, and one worthy of your attention. The overall layout is very traditional, with a few fresh twists thrown in. This is a good thing, because in a dark and sweaty club, finding the right knob is not always the simplest of tasks. We found the layout to be instinctive while feeling luxurious. Each channel has its own dedicated filters that sound absolutely top class. For effects, Reloop have included a range of twelve great choices. The reverb, echo, and delay in particular, the tap delay all sound fantastic.
Plus, the addition of the reverse loop is something we always love to see. So, nothing particularly groundbreaking or unique, but still a very solid range. But, once you include the added functionality afforded by Serano software, this becomes one of the tastiest looking mixers on the market today!

There is nothing particularly out of the ordinary when looking at the FX, with the usual onboard suspects, and full Serato options. Without a shadow of a doubt, the Denon DJ MCMK2 is one of the most sought after compact 4 channel mixer combo on the market right now. Sure, it does not include the ever-popular beat pads.
However, it does cover all the core functions needed by every DJ — and now with the added bonus of having the full Serato DJ Pro download voucher with every purchase. Although we have discussed the Serato DJ Pro software at length already, there are a few other top of the line DJ applications available. With the best of those in our opinion being Traktor.
And our friends over at Native have done a great job designing an awesome battle style mixer here. On top of being a traditional stand-alone mixer, this great little unit also functions as an audio interface, a scratch decoder, and a Traktor control surface.
The crossfader on the Native Kontrol Z2 is very loose with a highly adjustable curve just as we like it. You are left with a truly standout piece of equipment.

This bypass makes recording on-the-go so much easier, and the option to add track marks makes future editing a breeze. The DJM crossfader, adjustment knobs, pads, and faders are all top-quality and feel strong and sturdy.
There is a curve adjustment switch for the crossfader that can be set to sharp for scratching, soft for crossfader mixing, and thru. The 3 band EQ gives great control, with top-class sound quality. The AUX input can essentially serve as another channel to use in the mix, but this will stop the use of the microphone.
This is a feature-packed offering from one of the biggest names in the business. The is their flagship desktop model, with six input channels, three-band EQ on each channel plus a three-band isolator.

The 23 is a really solid all-round performer, with a stripped-back feature set that offers everything you really need for basic mixing.

Rotary mixers have always had a cult following, but it seems the recent resurgence of interest in the approach increased demand to the point where manufacturers were willing to test the market with cheaper rotary options.
The offers a very simple, bare-bones setup: just two channels, each with two-band EQ, plus a three-band master isolator. Sound quality is solid if unspectacular, but certainly on a par with other models in a similar price range. The TRM might not quite be able to match the silky smooth sound quality of high-end boutique rotaries, but it offers just the same kind of ergonomics as much more expensive models.
