Gear Suggestions Needed

It would probably mean they will stop PRODUCING the MC6000mk2, but usually support (like for new OS versions, drivers and mappings for supported software) should continue for a while. Also a new wind seems to be blowing through the support/forums at Denon. It is now officially supported, has areas for things like the MC6000, so a good place to go for much needed community and company support.

I still rate the MC6000 among the best mobile DJ units. When treated well, it should give many many years of faithful service. Also the form factor/size is such that it is relatively easy to fit even in the tiniest of booths or bars.

As for backup. the MC6000 is a stand-alone mixer. If you lose the laptop, very easy to switch to your tablet hooked up to one of the for channels. Just hit play on a pre-recorded “floor-filler” mix, open the fader and keep everyone dancing while you reboot/fix the laptop.

Hope that helps some.

Yeah, everything from Serato (as opposed to the mk1 which was Traktor (EU)/VDJ (US) only) to VDJ, Traktor, Mixvibes and no doubt DJay Pro (Mac). And if you use mics, it’s really a 4+2 channel system. I just love that implementation. And better than on the MCX8000 I now own! There is only one on/off switch for both mics, while each mic on the 6000 has it’s own on/off. It has two-band EQ per mic channel as opposed to 3-band on the 6000.

The jogs are a tad on the small side if you want to go do all kind of controllerist/scratching stuff, but certainly not impossible (watch our Steve Canueto rocking a 6000 in one of his demo’s).

And the outer channels are semi-matrix, meaning you can set channel 3 input to PC and Line 1,2 and 3 and channel 4 to PC and line 1, 2 and 4. Giving you a lot of easy moving around of sources should you need it.

I am pretty sure you won’t regret this unit. And it’s tough as nails, the proverbial tank.
