My DJ consoles
First topic message reminder :
I'm not a broadcaster, but been djing on and off since the 80's. I recently began re-using my equipment pictured below, which has been packed away in my crawlspace for a few years now. My first mixer was a Gemini MX-6500 SE.
Then i brought my very first digital controller, a Vestex Spin, great little mixer for backyard mixing for friends.
Then i moved up to a Hercules DJ Console RMX. Great mixer with lots of function.
Then i moved up to the Stanton SCS.4DJ, this is by far my favorite mixer. It is an ALL IN ONE mixer meaning you attach your music from any USB drive or flash drive and party away , you don't need a computer to mix with since it has it's own integrated display, which list your music and also display your waveform when mixing. As you can see in the image the left platter has split in two from the heat in the crawlspace, how ever it does affect the function of the platter.
Hanging out here and on Camup, has re-ignited my passion for Djing. Yes i still have all 4 mixers. In the future i hope to a few more
Update: Febuary 15, 2020. Added a mixer board to my collection.
Update: May 30, 2020. Added another mixer to my collection.
Update:10/28/20. Added another mixer to my collection.
Long time since i've updated this list, my recent addition is a FiFine Ampligame Gaming Mixer (SC3) this little mixer is great for streaming and doing those radio show, the mixer is small in size and packed with features. Best of all it only cost $40!!
for more information, check out Amazon.

it is old Razz it's the oldest mixer i have seen of the smaller ones and i told frank where is the 5/6 on the mixer all i see is 1 2 3 and 4 no 5/6 i'm kind of thinking how is the stereo channels grouped together like on my board i have 3/4 5/6 7/8 and 9/10 on mine and there stereo paired together in mono it's just 1 channel and that's why they have the grouping of channels together is to make stereo so it kind of shocks me how that mixer groups them together i mean it's listed on where you connect for your left and right but there is no vol knob by the looks of it to control it Razz
i think older equipment works better then SOME of the new ones. They are built better, that for sure.
It is so true, new stuff is prebuilt to fail after only a couple years now ;(.
BlackScorpion wrote:DJAaronRadio wrote:that maybe true but new ones will work just fine if you look after it my Xenyx 1002B that's from 2016 and it's held up really well and it's still rocking there is a little static here and there with the faders but that's to be expected for how old it is
well it was a surprise to find out my mixer was created in 2017, 3 years ago. I honestly thought it was older. It's made by Mackie, who brought out Tabco, so it should last a while since i tend to take care of things.
Only 3 years huh. Is that the old looking one you bought off craigslist?

Guy was selling off his old equipment, guess he got the new stuff, so he was getting rid of the old.

Re: My DJ consoles
That makes sense I guess Frank.
I can't wait to see you start using some of that equipment for shows .

As of 9:10 PM CST on 3/6/2020, I continue to use a very basic setup.
I would like to have and learn how to use an audio mixing board, but the former (having a mixing board) is unlikely due to issues with costs and other priorities (a.k.a relationship obligations).

Re: My DJ consoles
Plus knowing your computer, if we tried to set you up with a complicated mixer based set up, it would likely have a stroke...TigerTankFan wrote:As of 9:10 PM CST on 3/6/2020, I continue to use a very basic setup.

Might need a week off to recoup.
@DJAaronRadio, here is your Gemini Model 6500se.
Have to see how much it's going to cost to ship out to you.

Re: My DJ consoles

Why aren't you worried about the tower? That is the most important part isn't it lol.
