In 2006 Vestax released the VMC white color series to breakthrough the stagnation of the DJ market,
which was covered with similar DJ products, with its pop and fresh appearance. Vestax sold a total of
15,000 units of the VMC white color series world wide and won new users.
While other companies copy products fade away, the VMC series has become a world standard. Now
with a new metallic black color, it offers a cool and solid appearance which perfectly matches its high
reliability and the quality of its basic performance. An expansion slot has been added as an option for
USB connection, living up to the needs of PC DJ's.
The VMC -004 XL is Vestax's first non 19" 4 channel entry level mixer with high end features. This mixer is just under 13" and 6 rack spaces. This is Vestax's most inexpensive four channel mixer ever made.
This amazing entry level mixer comes with enough features to ensure that any beginner DJ has more than enough room to grow. Suitable for all musical styles, including scratch, the VESTAX VMC-004 XL comes with 4 channels each with a 3 band ISOLATOR and one of the smoothest crossfaders available.
Vestax's industry knowledge and technology has brought you a new compact series, the VMC. Wherever the location, whether a bar, club, bedroom or restaurant the VMC is capable of all. Small, compact, yet fully functional to compete with high-end mixers is the VMC.
Whether your sound source is a turntable, CD, DVD, HD and even memory audio, the VMC was produced to handle all, with 4 independent program channels, 2 master outputs, so whether this piece is your master mixer or even as a second mixer, the VESTAX VMC-004 XL will do it's job!
Each channel has a 5 segment LED meter which allows you to adjust each channel to match the exact level of the main channel; this allows you to transfer from one channel to another hearing a change in the music & not a change in volume. This feature is critical if you plan to make mix CD's.
The crossfader has 2 curve settings. One is a sharp slope, the other is normal slope. When the switch is in the LEFT position, the crossfader will have a long curve fading in & out smoothly. This is perfect for mixing house, techno & trance. If the switch is in the RIGHT position, the fader will have a sharp curve, allowing for quick punch-ins which is ideal for hip-hop & Drum & Bass.
The Vestax VMC-004 XL also has one of the most advance headphone monitoring systems in the world. The mixer has CUE SELECT as well as CUE/MASTER mix knob which allows you to mix in the headphones by selecting any of the channels and mixing it in with any level of the master.
MULTI INPUT 4 CHANNEL MIXER
The total of 10 OUTPUT CHANNELS (phono×4, line stereo×4, mic×2) and 2 stereo outputs that can set master volumes individually has been applied to this model to live up to the DJ scene today where both analog turntables and CD players are becoming a necessity.
MASTER OUT
1 also includes a volume control, and the entire output system has been enhanced while still in its compact form.
INPUT LED METER and TRIM control
Each designated channel has an input LED meter, and trim control, allowing to double check input levels on the fly.
THREE BAND ISOLATER LIGHT
Not an equalizer, but a 16 dB/oct ISOLATER LIGHT, a first in its class has been added to each and every channel to allow top sound and performance quality.
CF ASSIGN SWITCH
By using the three point switch, the cross fader can be assigned to any channel allowing several creative mixing ways and source use.
The rotary and slide faders exclusively from ALPS for Vestax have been a standard, however the cross fader may be upgraded to the plastic conductive fader, CF-PCV.
The VESTAX VMC-004 XL includes a cross fader switch allowing you to adjust the curves for either a smooth long mix or for a cutting in/out mix.
With a rotary style switch, the MONITOR, in stereo can be handled in a swift and selective way.
The PHONO EQUALIZER uses the same technology used for our professional series mixers.
Terminals and head phone jacks have been reinforced with a metal sleeve and various other parts for durability and longevity.
The new compact mixer has been designed with a rack angle unit that can be taken on/off to transform into an in-house mixer and with an original adapter, can be placed into a 19" rack.
The Vestax CF-PCV Cross Fader has been tested to 2 million passes without audible loss of quality. (Normal high quality faders often "die" after only 100,000 passes)
