Hi All. My Kam 500 mixer just went bank so I am in the market for a new mixer. My budget is around £150 and it must have a min of 2 channels and also capable of Microphone access.

Its mixing between 2 laptops and a cd player (as backup) so I also need to keep the size down to sit in between laptops on an ultimix dj stand.

Does anyone have any recommendations. ?

What mixers do you currently use ?

Invest an extra £50 and get one of THESE (http://www.whybuynew.co.uk/Mackie-D2-DJ-Scratch-Mixer.html) when they're back in stock, they're superb.

That is a desk not a DJ mixer. If you want a desk you want to be a minimum of a Yammy in my humble opinion.

The Yamaha is undoubtedly an excellent piece of kit, and well regarded. The Behringer equivalents are fit for purpose, and a lot cheaper. Not the same class, but highly serviceable.
