Behringer NOX303 - any good?

[drzinc]

The insides are most likely the same, I will put down money on that. The Numark costs more because Numark
spends much more on marketing than Behringer. Get the Behringer if its less and you are not brand conscious.

That being said, Behringer though highly involved in dj products
has a huge variety of PA products, effects and speakers has built a lion's share of the mass market. They have the
revenue to slap together ANY pa/dj product and put their name on it and sell it for less than the largest
electronics giants in the world. I have to give them credit for that.

I wouldn't doubt if they decide to get into keyboards, guitars, basses and other musical instruments, if they
haven't done so already.

but completely different from despite inaccurate comments above...

Ok MR. Smarty...

The 404 is a rip on the Rane 56,

the NOX404 is a little similar to the TTM 56S and NOT the TTM 56. Because they are two different mixers. So there goes your inaccurate comment.

Very ironic isn't it?

I don't think the NOX404 is much like the TTM 56S at all. It's the same color roughly and has two channels, but it's a digital mixer with an FX section whereas the TTM 56S is an analog mixer. Of course, that's just the outward appearance stuff. Audio and build quality are nowhere close, but that's expected for a knockoff... which this isn't IMO.

Just an update, bought 2 Numark NDX400's and a Behringer NOX202 mixer. Thanks for the opinions guys, i'll post up a review of the gear.

Bah, Ive been bested! I'd purged the memory of that abomination of a power supply from my mind! :p

No it isn't.

The 404 is a carbon copy of the 56S, with virtually the exact same top plate layout and control set. Look at the two side by side, it's almost as striking as the 606's resemblance to the :92.

Wrong again!

Have a close look.



Definitely not the same top plate layout as you claim. Similar but NOT SAME.

Now if you still insist that they have exactly the same top layout, then you need to have your eye sight checked.

The 404 is a rip on the Rane 56, a legendary scratch mixer, while the 303 takes after the Numark x9, a budget multichannel mixer. The controls and such reflect their sourced styles, it comes down to much more than the number of channels.

The 303 /X9 whatever, is strikingly similar to the vestax pcv275. Probably one of the original 3 channel format mixers that initiated the design.

But I'm sure you haven't been djing long enough to have actually ever used anything released before 2008

I think you have made a great choice. I'm looking in to the 202 as a second mixer. Well it's b/w that & the Numark X6. Let me know how the 202 treats you.

Behringer nox303 is better than good. I have one and I am impressed, it is better than I thought, so when it comes to Behringer cheap is amazing. Its small its light easy to move.

Thanks for the old bump Mr Consumer, but I don't think your input was needed. Genuinely good mixers are always better than behringers.
