i am not saying by any means that the mixtrack pro 2 is a bad controller, it can be used professianally and with sucess but is was not design like that. it was made to introduce people to djing,on the other hand the t1 treats you like a pro. also the sound quality is really good.
now back to the topic
cyy i recommend the ergo it is cheaper than the t1 but has that cdj layout for a lower price and actually a decent soundcard that can be used even for big club gigs

Both in development and in production. Money that doesn’t go into the only thing speakers are supposed to do: play music in good quality at decent volume.

And I mean seriously, 175 pound for 2 speakers, with USB/SD playback functionality AND two wireless microphones? I couldn’t suggest one single wireless microphone that is halfway decent for under 200 pounds. Quite frankly, they look like they would sit very pretty in some 12-year old’s bedroom and impress the heck out of his friends.

Just little telltales to look for:

• The power cord is permanently attached to the active speaker. That just doesn’t happen with the real stuff. You have a detachble power cord, period.
• The input looks like it’s RCA only, which means unbalanced, which means you can’t put them further away from your controller than about 3meters and even then you run a risk of interference and hum.
• Finally the speaker connections are those springloaded push thingies. Not found on any serious speaker. Speakon, XLR, even banana-plug type (on older systems).

A good rule of thumb is, if you can find only connections you’d expect to see on your home HiFi, it is probably meant to go in the home.

Other than that, save up and get some good old BORING looking real PA speakers.

Greetinx and good luck,

i am not looking for monitors,i prefer spending more money on cdjs controllers etc. i just want some cheap loud pa speakers for house gatherings thnks for the info

well i have no questions about how they work or how to setup i really want to know if someone has experience with the company skytec
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skytec-SPD-10V-Passive-Speaker-Wireless/dp/B00AE4SY8C
i think they value for money but how do they compare to the equally priced wanna be monitors

get a t1, a flight case, a pair of really nice speakers and you still have money to spend. and you have the perfect club practising setup.i don’t think you need the 350s for using them as a mobile dj.
there is also the sx which is far from the regular cdj style but it is a lot more capable.
however you didn’t mentioned you much you are buying them( you mentioned you are buying them second hand)

My next option is the n4 which is probs the best affordable option that gives me a load of features, 4 channel mixer and more output future options! What do you guys think?

it is good but not pro material.of course you can gig with it but you should be careful due to the plastic construction.i still recommend the tm4.

Shaun Pearcey, post: 38890, member: 6431 wrote: Thanks for the advice guys, so you wouldn’t say the Mix track pro 2 then? It does has aux inputs and mic and headphone inputs.. not as complex as say the terminal mix 2 or 4 but should do me for a while still confused.. I like the terminal mix but seeing as I haven’t even gigged yet I don’t know. Also Don’t want to gig with the Hercules as this is so basic, Just got it to learn on..

the terminal mix controllers are awesome. you will get a lot more for your money.if you buy the mixtrack 2,in 6 or 8 months you will be possibly looking for a new controller.also the build quality and sound quality is superior.the weego is just a toy this is what i see for the controllers you mentioned
Extra learning-still basic:Mixtrack Pro 2,Weego
Club feel:Ergo V(the limited version is better though)
Pro mobile djing equipment:Terminal Mix 2/4
all if you want to gig take notice about the construction. accidents happen,drinks are spilled,people get drunk

well cdjs read the bpms accurately 99% of the times. count and match. it is a technique learn it, use it
vynil,cds,digital no matter what beatmaching is a skill as is scratching even if you don’t use it it is nice to know how to do it

the layout of the beatmix(despite the fact that everything is mirrored) the extra feature of the gain and the feel of the jogwheels can easily emulate cdj djing, however i would strongly recommend going next to a pioneer high end controller or setup. you can practise for a few months on the beatmix and then put all your earnings on the upgrade. this is how i got prepared for club club djing,if you want to go into mobile djing or bar djing it is a different story
