[Dynagroove] Opinions & Reviews of the Vestax PMC-46MKII please

[Ben Annand]

I've played on it a few times and It's quite a good mixer though for the 
money I'd get a Rane or Allen and Heath instead.  Rane has the best eqs and 
sound quality in my book - some of the lower-end ones have some weird 
features missing but the 2016 and mp-44 are golden...  After Rane I like 
Allen and Heath and after that the Pioneer and upper-end Vestax's are about 
equal to me.  If I show up to a club and any of these mixers are there I'm 
happy...

As a general note, I have more problems with arriving to find low-quality 
monitor speakers than mixers in general.  Promoters, club owners, sound guys 
- get some decent monitors already!  Not only do djs play better with proper 
monitors but it saves our ears so we will still be able to beat-match five 
years from now...  What up with spending $20,000 on a sound system and 
giving the djs trash to listen on - we want to rock out back there too ya 
know!
