    What's the cheapest mixer you could trust in 2024?

    New, old, what's selling today that costs almost nothing that still works? I want to play with my old cd tables from 2005 and my cheap urei bit the dust a long time ago.

    Wait a couple of years until I get my 2ch boutique DJ mixer production-ready. I already have a passive prototype waiting for headphone and output amplifier PCBs. I have the circuit breadboarded and tested and I trust it like I trust the Soviet Union. Here's the manual :

    Just kidding.. or am I?

    On a side note, used Urei 1603 prices have gone up on eBay, and the prices for 1620/1620LE are outrageous.

    Good to see you Hygro!

    If you don’t mind something a little older, keep an eye out for a used Rane TTM 56(s) or 57. You could get lucky and find a decent one for cheap. I picked up an immaculate 57 just over a year ago for $250 CAD (185 US!!).

    yup. anything by rane or ecler. good second hand deals go cheap, but those mixers will be over 10 years old

    or buy something cheap and rotary, like an omnitronic, ecler warm or something.

    or buy mixars.

    did you have a urei 1601 and did the power transformer fail? I have one and it failed. Loved that mixer.

    Great to see/read you again, Hygro! Don't forget about the DJ-Tech mixers! They're affordable and feel great due to the included Innofader! They also have built-in sends and returns for DVS/sound interfaces.
