Only Vestax could build an inexpensive, good-looking and accessible mixer like the vmc 004. Featuring four channels, two of them also mic channels, two outputs - ideal for recording mixes, individual leds on each channel, and the overall good design that is the trademark of the brand. This is a mixer that can be used either by starters or professionals, since it's ease of use. It's so intuitive, every knob and fader is cautiously positioned, every led in it's right place, that in seconds you'll be mastering it.

The quality of the outputs is excellent. In fact, you have to be careful because they can reach very loud levels. There is a detail that most mixers seem to forget: the ability to listen the cue with the equalization. It seems that most mixers just allow the cueing of the non-equalized channel. This may be just perfectionism, but believe me, it does help when you're in the mix or in a loud club and you want everything to come out right without surprises.

It is a durable mixer, proving it's robustness and heaviness. But it is also suitable to carry around, since it's also smaller than most mixers.

There is only a small detail that shouldn't annoy most DJ's: the cue button is actually a fader, so you can only cue one track at the time. May this be a problem to you, I assure that you'll get around that in no time.

If you need a simple, easy, durable mixer at an affordable price, Vestax VMC-004XL is the one to consider. A great choice.
