A MODULAR DJ MIXER: Menura MDMX Review | Beatsource Tech

[@Thebasementpresents]

Amazing. Eurorack capabilities is dope.

[@lindsaymaria2876]

Really interesting! Love it.

[@souldigits_9545]

Wow, eurorack, brilliant

[@Fran-or3lt]

Great to see it finally in production. Looks pretty cool and would certainly satisfy the geek in me 😄

[@jpmca89]

Been looking forward to this review for a long time🙌

[@Positive_Tea]

Freaking awesome. The name sounds like Huey Luis’s new drug lol

[@erikcharlat9844]

so much truth about popping filters on mixers. facking hate that shit. this looks very interesting. love the bluetooth as i have denon gear and love that feature . thanks for the info. much love and respect ps watch out for the eurorack worm hole, it goes very deeeeeeep

[@mutluhandemirci74]

Big boss here,, 👍

Part of what makes these high cost boutique rotary mixers so good is their architecture. Typically they’re designed with the shortest possible signal path to reduce noise. That’s why they often leave our parts like channel trim, it reduces the signal path. This modular mixer appears to have a really long signal path, with all the ribbon cables, in order to make it modular and easy to change parts without soldering. So, my assumption is that the sound quality will not be on par with other mixers with a similar price tag.

[@groovindj]

Talking of Eurorack, I saw a short clip recently of someone at a synth tech gathering, using a module that sliced up breakbeats. Trying to find it again now...

[@JohannesNielsen]

I want one so badly

[@wassarts]

I've been wondering if these were any good and I didn't know about the eurocrack functionality which takes it in a very interesting direction - plus it sounds good so that's a bonus. Good luck to 'em

[@darioargento21]

Looking forward to your all eurorack gear channel in about 6 months. Welcome 😂

[@Mojaxx]

😮

[@frederikjacob1985]

To be frank, this is the mixer where i've been waiting for for years... Easy switching between rotary and faders in the same mixer. I love my little omnitronic trm 202mk2 but mostly i'm mixing on my pioneer djm because only 2 channels and i have 2x3 decks to mix on (cdjs and technics sl's). With this mixer you can get best of both worlds. Lineair and rotary without changing a whole mixer and sound quality.

[@darktherapy]

Still doesn’t justify the staggeringly high price imo.

[@mitlaufer4798]

Im waiting for the rodec modular system

[@aringrey]

if I ever get real adult money I am buying this, it looks awesome

[@Drrolfski]

The problem with modularity is cost. Nine out of ten times its cheaper/ more value to go for dedicated with multiple devices.

[@vadz]

Great idea!)

[@masterbond9]

honestly, the individual pricing isnt terrible. I'd love to see where this company goes, and how long they support it for. another concern is how modular is modular? could anyone build any kind of module for it and would it just work? what about the USB port? I'm sure they have a way of just adding midi or audio input support, but theyre still in the prototyping phase for those.

[@darktherapy]

The pricing is ridiculous. £158 for a Bluetooth module.. an ESP32 chip which has WiFi and Bluetooth combined is around £4.

[@masterbond9]

@darktherapy and that is EXACTLY my point. Could you build an esp32 chip to interface with the mixer? I have a feeling that the Bluetooth module has more than just your average 4 dollar Bluetooth chip. I'm sure it has a stronger reception antenna, shielding, and a much higher quality DAC, plus the much higher quality (read: more expensive) parts on each board. Does the ESP32 even support aptx? Does the module for this mixer?

[@cryptout]

I might have to save up for this one. And yeah prepare yourself for a very expensive completely consuming eurorack rabbit hole 😂

[@phabyo_ferrer]

Eurorack is a rabbit hole that's hard to escape from.

[@energypimpin]

cant wait for th bootleg version of this

[@RenatoHarripaul1217]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rautshsale1948]

also, i'd really wish they'd just make other sized cases i don't get making everything modular, but forcing ppl to make it a 4 channel mixer regardless? sure there are blank panels, but if the goal would be to only make a 2 channel mixer, i'd much rather buy the cheaper case from the beginning, vs the overkill 750eur case that i wouldn't need what if some crazy live performer would need 6 channels, like the model1 users? what about a case with only 1 row of modules, to be used more with eurorack directly, and not necessarily as a dj mixer? what about an even smaller case, for other djs to use MDMX effects as sends/returns with other mixers (effect modules are clearly coming, since the case has sends/returns)? or what if somebody just wants a nice phono preamp and/or amp for their home setup? i guess none of this would be needed, if the modules could be powered by regular eurorack PSUs, then ppl could easily just use other cases for one or 2 modules, but seeing how this does not appear to be the case, the only way to use these modules outside of the huge 4 channel dj mixer case, would be for them to sell other cases lol either that, or sell PSUs individually as well please, so we have the option to use these in other cases so much potential, if these could only be used in other sized cases somehow

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

I would buy it if it was no more then $1500..

[@trancevoyagesessions]

Allan & Heath Xone 92 mk2 review. When? I know you will say it’s been out for 20 years. But it would be advantageous for you to do a review for people moving over from pioneer ect. What are the differences? The cue system on the 96 is not great to put it lightly. How’s the 92. Come on! Do a review of the 92.. 😮

[@Mojaxx]

Just waiting for A&H to send it, will hopefully arrive next week.

[@controlrod81]

its over priced, well over priced. interns of the cost of each module and coming in at a cheaper price on the modules and being able to make it into a mixing desk with a digital sound card so it can be used with a DAW would of been a good trick team up with beringer to keep costs down

[@darktherapy]

Ridiculous system. Way overpriced for what it is. In all honesty how many dj’s would want to change aspects of their mixer when a high end pioneer can do pretty much anything. Why not just make a mixer with mappable buttons and controls/knobs and just change the faceplate to reflect the controls. Wi-Fi chips and Bluetooth modules are all so cheap they could just be included inside the mixer. £158 for a Bluetooth input is quite honestly taking the piss out of customers.

[@tightspeedos6856]

“high end Pioneer can do pretty much anything”? Except actually know how to sound good since they’ve never implemented a high end component into anything.

[@tonyjamesr116]

Ridiculous prices

[@guido69x]

Almost 3k for a look alike vintage mixer,pathetic, its still a mixer not a Modular Synth 🤦‍♂

[@Aves_1]

I think you missed the entire point of the mixer

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

Looks exactly like ecler warm mixer..

[@tamthetamtam]

Xone 96 is 2k, A9 almost 3k 3k is not that crazy for an analog mixer 🤷‍♀️ don’t look at Condesa
