Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The crossfader is not replacable without taking off the whole faceplate. I also don't like the AC adapter because it has an external power supply that is 1/2 the size of a brick. This may be a problem when installing it in a DJ coffin where room may be limited. These demerits should not take away from the quality and value of this mixer. I recommend the 5000FX for any type of DJ.
Sound
Mixer sounds great! The 3-band EQ has a wide frequency range and can be easily tailored to suit any type of music.
Features
This mixer has just about everything a mobile/club DJ can possibly need: sampler, sound effects, XLR outputs for powered speakers, beat counter, adjustable crossfader, fader relay start and many more.
Ease of Use
Clean and simple layout. Nothing complicated here. Manual is user-friendly
Quality
I'd owned this mixer for 9 months now and I've used it in club and mobile DJ settings and have even done some intermediate scratching and (knock wood)it works perfectly. The faders feel light with very little resistance, which some people may not like.
Value
BAR NONE, THE BEST VALUE FOR 12" MIXERS ON THE MARKET. You would spend twice as much on other mixers that have 1/2 the features.
Manufacturer Support
I've called tech support a few times for questions unrelated to this mixer and they have been very helpful.
