itself as a workhorse for fixed installation in busy nightclub DJ booths, with

high-speed ports for simultaneous operation, or seamless switching between two

Absolutely my favorite mixer in my 15 career as a DJ. Never one to be a scratch DJ, but I've tried the entire line of Vestax mixers when they were in style, the Rane 56 and currently also own a 57, and a Pioneer DJM-800 mixer. Not only do I love the mixer because of the built-in Serato interface, but also because of the quality and feel of the faders, knobs, and buttons. I'm comfortably and confidently able to use this for DJ weddings with enough channels available for two turntables, an input for dinner music, and still one channel to spare and two microphone inputs that pack plenty of punch. It's a no-brainer and I'm sure this isn't news to many people but I wholeheartedly and without any doubt recommend this mixer hands-down no question. Ignore the price tag and go buy this mixer NOW!
