What customers say
The Numark Battle Mixer M4 garners generally positive sentiment, primarily driven by its exceptional affordability and robust feature set for an entry-level device. Customers frequently praise the M4 as the perfect starting point for aspiring DJs, particularly those interested in scratching or battle mixing, due to its three-channel layout and the inclusion of a replaceable crossfader. The build quality is often described as surprisingly solid and durable given the low price point, making it an excellent practice tool that can withstand regular use. However, the most consistent point of constructive criticism revolves around the stock crossfader. While replaceable, many experienced users find the factory-installed fader to be too stiff or imprecise for serious, intricate scratch work, often necessitating an immediate upgrade (like an Innofader) to unlock the mixer's full potential. Sound quality is deemed acceptable for home use and small parties, though it doesn't compete with professional-grade mixers in terms of clarity or headroom. Overall, the M4 successfully meets its market objective: providing maximum functionality and durability at a minimal cost, leading to high satisfaction among budget-conscious consumers who prioritize value over premium components. It is widely viewed as the best budget mixer available for those taking their first steps into DJing.
