Coming from 8”KRK and having this on my stand next to my SL 1200 MK 2 are the best thing ever!! Excellent product and couldn’t have asked for better quality .
The 4 channels are just exactly what I’ve always needed for mixing all 3 or 4 Drum And Bass and techno sounds all together!!! It really works well for rekordbox and the effects knob for either one or all channels are great too!!! I’ve had a DDJ-SB3 for 5 years till it started bugging out so I’ve finally came to the conclusion to go into a huge upgrade for the FLX10!!!
