Omni Control Review

Hey guys I just thaught I'd give you a little review of the Numark Omni Control.












In The Box

So in the box your going to find

The Controller
A Quick Start Guide
A Kore Voucher
A Beatport Voucher
Traktor 3 Le
Mixmeister
A USB cable

(please note there is no RCA cables in the package)


The Pros

Price
This unit is incredibely cheap for a dedicated Traktor controller

Reliability
I've had the unit for three months now and there is no sign of Numarks crappy build reputation.

Features

Pre Mapped for Traktor Pro
2 Jogwheels
Led Buttons
8 Endless Roterys
8 Limited Rotarys
4 Faders
1 Crossfader
Mic input
2 RCA outputs
1 DC input
1 USB Out

Portability

It's USB Powered so no need for plub sockets.

The Cons

The Hercules RMX which is virtually the same controller has 2 RCA inputs makeing it a better unit for the marginal price increase.

It's quite a limited controller can't be upgraded etc.

Shoddy feel to the controller

Conclusion

This controller is perfect for what I wanted which was a cheap solution to |DJ'ing while I saved up for better gear.

It may also be useful for mobile DJ's as i find mine incredibely easy to transport, It fits in most laptop bags for instance.

It haas a robust metal outer caseing but fiddly knobs and faders.

The inputs are the biggest and only real advantage of the RMX,

But they are a big advantage.

Thanks for reading
