Monoprice Mixer / CD Player / USB / Midi Controller

[maestro]

Has anybody seen one of these in person or actually used one? Seems to do it all, pretty much. I am thinking it would make a good back up or ceremony rig.http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_i...=2#description

The S/N ratio of their mixer is good at 86 dB. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_i...seq=1&format=2

I am trying to find out the specs on the all-in-one unit...

Looks like it does the same thing as one of the Numark Mixdecks.

I don't have first hand knowledge about this product. But in my experience, a no name piece of equipment that "does it all" for a cheap price means it doesn't do much well.

My guess is this is for that person that wants to get into DJing, buys this and a few cheap powered speakers, only to find out the sound quality is poor, and/or the equipment is not built to withstand the road.

I've been sucked into buying things like this is the past because of the low price. No more.

Not saying it's impossible that it's good. Just highly unlikely. If it was, you'd hear a buzz about them, tons of reviews, and see the price going up. Instead, they discounted it an additional $90 last month.

Scott, could also be because nobody wants to use something branded Monoprice at their gigs; lol. For back up, it looks intriguing... I haven't had great luck with Numark so I'm not sure I'd look there...

~knock wood~, I've had great luck with the Numark CDMix3.
