Flexible, ergonimic, beautiful
By: Kai Daguerre

This mixer offers an excellent hybrid for those djs wanting to scratch but also blending, and needing 3 channels (if you only need 2 channels, get the ttm56!) there are few other mixers offering this level of flexibility while doing each job so well.the faders feels beautiful and are great for scratching - just as nice as vestax faders (imho), when set to sharp cut-in, they come in immediately, and glide incredibly smoothly.the cueing system is great, as is the effects loop. The tone controls sounds great and provide full cut. However the frequency range they cover does not feel quite right - the bass is a little low and the treble a little high, with the midrange extending too high and low.
aside from this, it is hard to fault this mixer though, and it is really a joy to use.
only competition is the vestax pmc37 pro, which provides a few more facilites, but is less compact and elegant, and a bit more cluttered and fiddly.
basically, if you scratch and need 3 channels, get this if you can possibly afford it... 2003-02-04
This is hands down the mixer to buy.
By: DJ Phil Anthony

This mixer has all of the features that the TTM 56 was missing...Split cue monitoring and the 3rd channel just to name a few. As I told my partner its like the Vestax PCV-75 and the Rane TTM 56 got together and produced the perfect offspring. So far, I have absolutely no complaints. I am in no way a brand elitest, in fact I ususally research gear extensively. I must say though, Rane has outdone themselves this time. As far as appearance is concerned, setting them in a coffin next to some PDX 2000s may change your mind. Looks to me like they are made for eacother. 2002-11-15
In a word - Orgasmic
By: Khalil

Oh my god!
This is THE mixer to have. It feels great and sounds amazing! It might not look great but who cares, the posers can go and buy something substandard from Vestax...
The cue monitoring is awesome, the Automatic Level Control is class and those Penny & Giles faders are simply the best faders on the planet.

At DJ Store we strongly promote the idea that best people to review products are the people that use them on a daily basis.

We want to hear your comments and we want you to share them with our customers - but we also have a few rules:

• The Best reviews are short (no more than 500 words).

• Write in proper english and keep it clean or it won't be published.
• Feel free to suggest a similar product that you feel is better.
• No links, phone numbers, website addresses etc will be published.

Before you write simply "this mixer is junk" and submit it - think about who else would be using it? You can't compare a £50 mixer with a £500 one - so consider the price when writing.

We want you to tell us the good and bad points about our products - but remember the best reviews don't just say whether you liked or disliked a product, but also why !
