Numark Scratch

Great quality starter battle mixer. Great entry level features.

Fast delivery, and the item was good and functional during commissioning. As of now, I am observing the unit for its reliability and robustness. I got to update soon if I could experience malfunctioning of the unit within its warranty period.

This item failed in less than one year. Bought it in September 2024, used it for one gig and then tried to use it a month ago only to discover that only the right input channels worked. It was never dropped. It was never physically jostled, treated, roughly or damaged in anyway. It literally stayed in its case before and after use, but somehow the left input channels have shorted out. This is extremely disappointing. As far as being a mixer goes, it was OK for the most part but you can tell that it’s very “light” on the side of internal components. I can’t help but think that shoddy design or cheap internal components, may have contributed to its failure. This could explain why it is so affordable compared to other mixers of this type. Also, as a disclaimer, they don’t tell you that you cannot use any of the onboard effects without being linked up to Serato. Do not expect to buy this mixer and use the effects analog, with classic vinyl without having to have your laptop plugged in and Serato active. Overall, a fairly disappointing experience. I have always been a diehard Numark fan and have never been disappointed with any of their products, so this is a big letdown for me. I’m going to attempt to see if I can get my money back for this as I now realize it was a bad investment.
