My, April's late this year. 2500s gone South?
Each has strengths and weaknesses. Mic channels on MK1 were a joke. Some folk aren't too happy with some aspects ( I forget which ) of the Mk2.
If I had to chose, Mk2, although I've never owned either, and have no desire to.

I love my mk1 (I have 2) more features than the mk2,
Some good deals around
Have to agree about the Mic input though, It is very hot and needs a db reducer (which are not expensive)

OK. Supplementary question, do you need four channels? I know you haven't asked for recommendations of other brands, but there are many I would recommend before Denon.

Disco Dude!
Mk2 looks better IMO. (I have both).
Mic channel on mk1 has been mentioned is dreadful.

Not at the moment, although I may be open to suggestions.

A gentleman after my own heart. Good lad, you know it makes sense. My favourite suggestion, is a two channel one, but the channels have a selector switch, so technically four channels, but only two faders.
If you'd be happy with two plus one ( the one having a gain control at the back, if I remember aright ) then the MC2000 is an attractively priced contender. Only one mic channel, and a poor one at that, though.

Fair enough. Quite a few forum members are very happy with my weapon of choice.

I've not had an issue myself it may be down the the mic though?
I have a Shure SM48 on channel 1 and I normally turn it to 11 o'clock for small venue and 1 o'clock for larger - 2 o'clock for the big ones.
Channel 2 occasionally hosts a Sennheiser ew100 and that is trickier and prefers to be set at 9 o'clock - 10 o'clock
I originally thought the ducking feature was a great one but I never use it nowadays!
I'm personally not as keen on the layout of the mk2 as it favours Serato over Traktor.

I've been an on/off fan of Denon playout since the 2000f mk1 so I'm always on the lookout for their gear. The new mc4000 looks like a good step up from my mc2000 but it isn't much cheaper than the 6000 so probably isn't even worth considering.
What I really want though, if I'm to upgrade my controller is four lots of deck buttons, not just four faders. Is there anything like that with audio interface and a decent mic channel or two?
