My DJ consoles

I'm not a broadcaster, but been djing on and off since the 80's.   I recently began re-using my equipment pictured below, which has been packed away in my crawlspace for a few years now.  My first mixer was a Gemini MX-6500 SE.

Then i brought my very first digital controller, a Vestex Spin, great little mixer for backyard mixing for friends.



Then i moved up to a Hercules DJ Console RMX. Great mixer with lots of function. 


Then i moved up to the Stanton SCS.4DJ, this is by far my favorite mixer. It is an ALL IN ONE mixer meaning you attach your music from any USB drive or flash drive and party away , you don't need a computer to mix with since it has it's own integrated display, which list your music and also display your waveform when mixing. As you can see in the image the left platter has split in two from the heat in the crawlspace, how ever it does affect the function of the platter.



Hanging out here and on Camup, has re-ignited my passion for Djing. Yes i still have all 4 mixers. In the future i hope to a few more

Update: Febuary 15, 2020. Added a mixer board to my collection.


Update: May 30, 2020. Added another mixer to my collection.


Update:10/28/20. Added another mixer to my collection.


Long time since i've updated this list,  my recent addition is a FiFine Ampligame Gaming Mixer (SC3) this little mixer is great for streaming and doing those radio show, the mixer is small in size and packed with features. Best of all it only cost $40!!

Yeah that thing takes a beating and keeps on going, must have that one for over 15 years now, i remember buying for the corny sound effects, at that time it was the thing.LOL now looking at it they sound so corny 

That actually looks pretty cool. Not bad for equipment older then I am .

Also topic moved to mixing boards section.

Yep that Gemini is really old.

my Radio shack board that i'm going to replace is i think the same age the best stuff came out in the early 2000s i used my board to death well it's not dead yet but getting Close other then that i think i will likely keep it around for a back up board if the new one goes

 Yeah, i know what you mean, some of the newer consoles have a lot of new features, but they breakdown alot quicker, they are made of plastic, unlike the old stuff made of metal.

that DJTech Board is all metal Construction and from the reviews it is very well built from the Reviews built like a tank so i will likely have no issues with it breaking down that quick i expect that to happen in 15 maybe even 20 years from now that's when i get it anyways i think the board will out last me if it's well taken care of

Aaron out of his 4 mixers which one would you recommend BlackScorpion use?

Picked this thing up for cheap, works great too, 



It will be going in my new sound room, when i'm done with it.

Wow that guy looks old too. Where did you find that?

it is old  it's the oldest mixer i have seen of the smaller ones and i told frank where is the 5/6 on the mixer all i see is 1 2 3 and 4 no 5/6 i'm kind of thinking how is the stereo channels grouped together like on my board i have 3/4 5/6 7/8 and 9/10 on mine and there stereo paired together in mono it's just 1 channel and that's why they have the grouping of channels together is to make stereo so it kind of shocks me how that mixer groups them together i mean it's listed on where you connect for your left and right but there is no vol knob by the looks of it to control it

Yes it is, but works great, might start collecting old audio equipment just for the hell of it?  Actually got it off craigslist..

i think older equipment works better then SOME of the new ones. They are built better, that for sure.

that maybe true but new ones will work just fine if you look after it my Xenyx 1002B that's from 2016 and it's held up really well and it's still rocking there is a little static here and there with the faders but that's to be expected for how old it is

well it was a surprise to find out my mixer was created in 2017, 3 years ago. I honestly thought it was older. It's made by Mackie, who brought out Tabco, so it should last a while since i tend to take care of things.
