purchased as a gift, he loves it - but he knows his stuff and said its well worth the money

Literally as good as a djm

A lot of features for your money and decent build quality, but having used this out now for a number of events there are some very annoying aspects.The first being that the rec out signal clips the moment you touch yellow, even for a fraction, unlike A&H, Pioneer etc that have headroom for the rec out. A bit gutting after you've recorded an eight hour live set!On the peak meters they are very dull in daylight, almost impossible to see, and as most of my gigs are outside - even under shade - this a problem. Also the cue button lights and master have the same issue.The master and booth volume knob has a very annoying characteristic which is that the sound doesn't kick in straight away you turn the knobs up, the signal kicks in about 1/8 turn!Likewise the filter knobs 'jump' before they kick in.On the cueing, the headphone max level is way too low for professional setups.The actual sound quality is fine, but for the price tag and being 'club level' it's not made for playing in the field and obvious didn't have a lot - if any - live testing in a real world situ before they went into production.

I bought the RMX80 and within a month the effects knob stopped working, effectively rendering the whole effects section redundant. A quick google search told me that this was a common problem and can’t be fixed with any kind of firmware update.£500 pretty much down the drain.
