This is the best mixer ever. I first used this mixer at my club. There's nothing bad about this mixer. Its the best.

Damn good mixer. Friend bought a Vestax PCV 275.. I looked at 175.. then found the NUMARK Matrix 3 online.. about half the price of the PCV 175, all the features and reliability. Takes a beating. the little red lights on the xfader are stoopid, the blue power light is ill. sounds really good. Obviously doesn't have the chunky EQ like the djm5/600, BUT, BUT! It has the adjustable Curve which no other 3 channel mixer in hta price range does.

I was just about to lick out $1050 for the pionner djm600 when I discovered the Matrix 3. From the first song I faded I felt and heard the reliability. It's dj friendly whether you are a pro or just a beginner the knobs can't come off even under the most intense scratching.

The Numark Matrix 3 is the finest mid range mixer money can buy. Considering for the same money (approx £250) you would get the much inferior Stanton RM3. Recent poll by respected Dance Music.com (http://dancemusic.about.com/library/reviews/aatpMixers.htm) put this in the top 5 mixers of the world, alongside such beasts as the Pioneer DJM-600 and Vestax PCV-275A (both would set you back in excess of £450). Everything you could want and fully adjustable. Hook this up to an effects unit (it has effects presets, all adjustable) and be devastated by its flexibilty. Crossfader is fully adjustable and reversable, making it superb for scratch mixing with no loss at all, in line with Focus Faders. This is Numarks best non optical fader. I have used all the Stantons, all the mid range Vestax/Geminis and the Technics DMC. None compare to this for sheer volume of features and build quality. I have been mixing old skool and jungle for 10 years and have mixed on everything you can think of. Yea sure there are better, but only if you are willing to fork out a further £400!!
