The PMC-CX was essentially built to give Carl Cox what he always wanted. A solid, reliable, high quality mixer, that has enough features to allow him to give 110% during every performance, every time. The PMC-CX includes a number of features that will definitely give DJs a lot more creative freedom whilst "in the mix". Like 3 band isolators & great high, low and all pass filters on each PGM, a master out isolator section with anti phase and a matrix input control so you can mix in and out of inputs quickly and easily.

Without a doubt this mixer is the investment worth making for any serious performance mix DJ.

The PMC-CX is a revolutionary 19” mixer loaded with features that can not be found on any other mixer. Vestax combined the PMC-37pro and the PMC-500 to come up with the ultimate club mixer that not only caters to the needs of the DJs but also the needs of club owners and installation companies.

FEATURES:

Input Matrix

The PMC-CX is the second mixer in the Vestax family that offers an input matrix per PGM. Just like the PMC-37pro, this mixer allows you to assign any input to any PGM. This is a radical idea that completely opens up new possibilities for the creative DJ.

Three Band Filter per PGM

Each PGM also has a high pass, low pass and notch filter to create some awesome effects. The filter section is clearly marked on the mixer by a large red knob under the three band Isolators.

Three Band Isolators per Channel

The PMC-CX uses three band isolators per PGM that offers 100% infinity cut and +4dB of boost. This is an EQ section that DJs dream about. The isolators have oversized EQ knobs that have the perfect amount of resistance when dropping in or out the desired frequencies. The +4dB of boost is just enough gain to allow the DJ to emphasize the frequencies without overdriving and creating distortion. Club owners also appreciate the +4dB of gain because DJs will not do any damage to their expensive sound system.

Meters per PGM

The PMC-CX has meters on the individual PGM inputs and the master outputs. All of the meters can be found in the upper right hand corner. There are two large VU meters for the master outputs and just below the VU meters are 12 segment LED meters for the individual PGM inputs.

Tight Torque Input Faders

The PMC-CX is equipped with the best faders in the world. These are 60mm tight torque PCV faders that offer the most accurate fade and smoothest feel on the market. The cross fader is a third generation PCV fader with curve control. The cross fader is user replaceable, but with a life expectancy of 2,000,000 passes it pretty much guarantees that it should never need replacing.

Input and Output Attenuation

All PGM inputs and master outputs have selectable gain attenuation switches of 0dB or -10dB allowing the owner to cut up to -20dB. This is a very important feature to have on mixers that will be used in very loud environments like clubs or bars. Club and bar owners can reduce the risk of damage to their sound system by limiting the amount of gain. DJs are notorious for running in the red. These attenuation options will prohibit DJs from over-gaining.

Output Section

The output section on the PMC-CX incorporates one of Carl Cox’s favorite Vestax units, the DCR-1200, a three band isolator with antiphase. As if having isolators on each PGM wasn’t enough this unit gives performers even more room to be creative. Using the master isolator allows finer control over the cut and boost of the low, mid, and high ranges when the effect it is selected. When combined with antiphase it is possible to create sensational reverb like effects over the whole mix. Antiphase inverts the isolator curve on both the low and mid frequency ranges.

On the rear panel you will find three balanced stereo XLR and unbalanced 1 /4 master outputs, a stereo RCA record output, and a stereo unbalanced 1 /4 master effect loop. The master loop is an insert across all the outputs, excellent for adding a compressor or an EQ.

With more than enough creative room for even the most experimental DJs the PMC-CX is truly suitable for almost any type of DJ. In addition to the features that have already been explained, there are a number of other features that make this mixer very user friendly. Without a doubt this mixer is worth the investment for any serious DJ.
