Gemini PMX-25.
I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out when these things were made (I bought mine second hand off eBay), but I'd estimate the late 80s. I like this mixer cuz its small and rugged (built like a tank), and is very fully featured for less than $100. Too bad they've been discontinued.

nother notch for the numark 2000x having a crappy x-fader. but i like the pitch level nobs, volume is good to if not a little loose feeling.

Hey, aznwasian, I really shouldn't be prejudiced, but I've always had this gut feeling that anything American DJ is inferior quality. Am I wrong for avoiding this brand? Just curious

Some of you here may already remember how the Gemini UMX-9 is my dream mixer. Well, today I decided to call a retailer about buying one. When I asked for the price, tho, he warned me that I shouldn't buy it because it's already been discontinued!  Um does anyone know what's going on about that?! This was Gemini's top of the line mixer -- barely out for a year even! Is this true?
--Randall |

American DJ- not sure what kind.
3 channel eqs with 100% kill. Kill switches. Club style cuing (Cue/pgm fader)
2 channels. Its good but the crossfader and the headphone slot are a bit rooted
www.mp3.com/djheist |
| Sander |
I have the dateq lpm 7.3, only no crossfader so not good for (happy) hardcore

Gemini BPM 250
3 channels, bpm = loada rubbish - bpm counter is not at all helpful. use your ears!!!
i'm happy with it, until i can afford a better one.
You look like you're in another world, but i can read your mind. 4 o'clock in the morning, and it's starting to get light. |

Gemini PS 626 Pro 2. Haven't had much experience with it yet but so far it's really easy to use, has 3 channels, good rotary eq's, and it was under $120. If I had more money to spend I probably would've gone with the vestax PCV-275 (god that machine is sexy), I love the split-cue option. My friend is getting a pioneer djm-500 or 600 and is selling his vestax PMC-07PRO for $500 (i'm guessing the price is somewhat flexible, but it goes for like $800 new). It needs a new x-fader but besides that it's in good shape (I've used it, great for mixing hardcore and newbie dj's). Go to 123dj.com to check it out. He lives in Northern California, let me know if anyone's interested.

I'm currently using a Numark 2000x. The crossfader's not very good and you can't adjust it, but I like the channel fades. It's got these 2 blinking lights next to the cross fader. They're supposed to be beatmatching lights, but all they are is annoying.

another slam on numark's cross faders

| Brian K |
we'll they aren't very good =P you have to go nearly half way over on the fader to scratch. they also have a tendency to bleed quiet readily too =/ *SLAM* =P

naw,the 500 doesnt have that option,the 600 has that. it's a nice option,but not worth the $.

My mixer is a Citronic CDM 5:2
And my direct decks are also Citronics
These are my decks but mine are called PD-1 (the only difference is that mine don't play in reverse)
I got these on Sunday 18th November 2001.
You light up another cigarette
And I pour the wine
It's four o'clock
In the morning
And it's starting
To get light |
| DJ Pathfinder |
and what do you find of it?

| DJ STYLUS |
I'm only really a begginer, it don't have much fuctions on it, but the sound is brilliant, cause I got it hooked up to an amp and my DENON stereo. But the mixer and decks do what I want it to do for the time, (Scratch, Merge, Punch and Kill the sound on records, so yeah i'm quite pleased with 'em, also they are not belt driven, which is good (belt drives are SHIT!!)

don't any of you use pioneer??? that's all i'll play on... i got 2 300 at my house... i love em...
|
| dj_snowmann |
i use the PIONEER DJM600, i think its the best mixer for a rave.i love the features like :
- flange
- AUTO BPM COUNTER
- AUTO BEAT SAMPLER
- • DELAY: Repeats a sound once. The user can set the delay to their desired tempo.
• ECHO: Repeats a sound several times. The user can set the echo sound to their desired tempo.
• AUTO PAN: Automatically shifts the sound to the right and left. Also capable of short auto pan sequences that would be impossible via manual operation.
• AUTO TRANS: Periodically cuts the sound.
• AUTO FILTER: Periodically varies the sound color.
• FLANGER: Periodically reproduces a sound effect resembling a jet airplane ascending and descending.
• REVERB: Reproduces a reverberating sound effect.
• PITCH SHIFTER: Allows the interval to be freely varied throughout a range of +/-1 octave. With this, the user can compensate for interval changes when using analog turntables or for tempo changes when different makers' CD players are used. Additionally, choruses can be made by employing mix ratios.

I used to have a Numark EM260....
its the one with the khaos pad
although the kahos pad is fun for about a week.. the mixer underneeth the 300 quid you spend is a damn DM1000X
and NO it doesnt have better faders... they still b0rk after about a month.. along with the XF.. the eq is STILL to close together... the monitoring system is still good tho
but i took it back...
and got one of these babys :D
dont be fooled by the angled faders.. there very comfortable to use...
the punch buttons are funky
and the Xfader curve is damn near perfect.. you can have instant on/off for scratchin or a total slope.. or anywhere inbetween... ite a damn sweet mixer for the price

| SorceryKid |
Just as an update: I finally got a replacement Gemini PMX-25 mixer off eBay. I'm much happier now, because neither the Numark nor the ADJ mixers (that I got as substitutes) met up to my expectations. I ended up selling them both... very quickly, in fact. 
Also, I found out from Gemini, that they did NOT discontinue the UMX-9... nor do they have any plans to. In fact, they are marketing their UMX line harder than ever right now. Apparently, I was given complete misinformation from the salesperson at Western Starlight.... which is very upsetting to say the least.

| Peter_Gozenya |
Nope, Looks like I am the most spoiled here. Gots me a pioneer djm 600 and also as a backup i have a rane MP44. but i love my 600 especially when i am on pitched decks WOOOO HOOOO
Just cause your smart doesn't mean you can't act stupid!!! |
| DJ Mouse |
silver's mixer would be no good for me,the xfader's too far to the right,and i'm a left hand scratcher,damn near impossible for me to scratch with that unless i learn how to with my right.
don't get me wrong though, it's a wicked mixer
DJ Mouse In Da House!!! |
| Peter_Gozenya |
I dont know if the moderators took my post off, but I gots me a djm 600 as my primary mixer and a rane mp44 as a backup. Both top of the line mixers
Just cause your smart doesn't mean you can't act stupid!!! |

i got 2,both 19",the one i use is the one i said earlier on,the other is a radio shack one,nothing special but it's got a sampler on it :)

| DJ Pathfinder |
i have also two
the dateq and the numark dm 2000.
You can't see me,because i am the future. |
| DJ Mouse |
could do with a smaller one though.
i need a 3 phono channel mixer with 3 band eq that's pretty cheap and lasts well,any ideas?
DJ Mouse In Da House!!! |
| Peter_Gozenya |
My first mixer was a 3 channel. the behringer 500 i think. Its a farily good mixer, crossfader is real nice (pannasonic) It can also withstand some abuse it also has a 12 sec. sampler. The sampler sux i think though. The channel faders are a lil slow but they are good aswell. It also has 3 band kill switches they are ok but no where near the rane's cut offs. Over all it is a good home/begginers mixer
Just cause your smart doesn't mean you can't act stupid!!! |
| DJ Mouse |
i got me the mixer i wanted
it's a gemini ps-626 pro 2
so i can use all 3 decks again

| DJ e-Klyps |
I got a PCV 275. I absolutely love it, the fader is so smooth and the split cue option allows me to practise at night without annoying everyone.

I got a Gemini PMX 140 cheap when I bought my Gemini SA 600's. What can I say? It does it's job and I even use the kill switches now and again.
Alex. |
| djmonoxide |
I got the cheapest mixer ever the gemini pmx-120 only $50 what can i say im poor and i want better decks so i am saving my money for some technics
A little Happy never hurt anybody! |
| Atlas |
i just got the behringer dx500 off ebay. brand new. its pretty tight......the crossfader is alright but i still feel vestax is the best in that department. kill switches come in handy, and the 24 second digital sampler is fun to mess around with.
"I'm the dj, you're not, so shut the fook up and dance." |
| SorceryKid |
Alex:
Yeah, the Gemini PMX-140 is what I have. It's not bad. The only issues I have are the Cue-Pgm fader is so much louder on the cue side (I have to keep readjusting the headphone volume simply to hear the cue signal without blasting out my ears) and the channel EQ's cannot be heard in cue-mode.
But, as far as overall features for the price... it definitely rocks. I love the hamster switch and punch-in transforms. Adjustable crossfader comes in handy as well. I just wish they'd fix the cueing... then I'd be happy =)

I've been rocking with a Stanton SK2FLTD with Curve Adjustable Focus Fader.
After 8 years of destroying crossfaders this one doesn't crackle after 2 hours of heavy cutting.
I've modified mine to move some of the components into a different location to fit in my coffin. Works rather well ;>

i got omnitronic fx280 kill-mixer..... nice for what i need it for...
does the djm600 allow you to change the pitch without changing the tempo? is that what it means?
and would you really actually use those features so much for happyhardcore.... like things like the flanger and filter you hear alot in house/breaks mixing but do you ever use this stuff for happyhard?

Aaaargh!! The ecler mixer sucks! I used it at Jaja's the last time i played there and it ate penis! Everything seems to be in exactly the wrong spot.
The Pioneer 6000m (or whatever, the big $2000 one) is the best mixer still. Nothing is designed as well as it

Got a synergy 'Hybrid' mixer, not too bad but the crossfader is going. I got it from richer sounds for £99 but sometimes they sell it for £40. It's got kills on it but no punch buttons, still a good buy.

i had a gemini ps525, but just upgraded to a VESTAX pmc25 PRO....gawd this thing is sweet!!!! the eq rotary knobs are THE BEST i've ever seen on a mixer (since started djing in late 1996). teh fader style cut switches for each eq band are incredible....the fader is really nice also...great sound! musiciansfriend.com has these on sale for 299$, i've never seen em for under 550$ until last week.

I have a JB systems BEAT 4 it's not a big name but i've had it for over 2 years and the only thing thats went is the crossfadder. Beat counters are a bit on the sh** side so i just turn them off

| No Left Turn |
i, too, have the vestax pmc 25. the analog kill switches sold me. and the huge rotary nobs add a huge fun-factor to doing eq tricks. i paid $450 for mine. the newer versions of it have new magnetic faders which have boosted the normal retail price of it to the $569 range.

if it's in silver it's probably the pcv 275. not a bad mixer at all but i still prefer my gemini

| Soren |
Yep, it's a 275 I just looked. It's nice. My first mixer was a Gemini and the crossfader went haywire on it in like less than 2 years. Then I had a Neumark for about 4 years and I destroyed it, by the end all the knobs and switches were mostly broken off cause I hack my mixers pretty hard. So far the Vestax seems like the most solid mixer i've used. Course that's why I got it cause everyone said they are built like a tank :)
