Product Presentation: Omnitronic PM-202F & PM-202FX
Omnitronic expands its range with two new 2-channel DJ mixers: the PM-202F and the PM-202FX. These compact devices are aimed at DJs looking for an affordable yet powerful mixer for home use, smaller gigs, or mobile setups. Despite their low price, both models offer some interesting features that set them apart from other mixers in this price range.
Design and Build
Both models come in a sturdy metal case with a clear arrangement of controls. The faders and knobs are solidly made and offer a pleasant resistance, allowing for precise control. The devices are compact and easy to transport, making them ideal for mobile DJs or use in small setups.
Connections and Signal Routing
Both mixers feature a solid selection of connection options:
- 4 Line and 2 Phono Inputs: These allow the connection of multiple sources like CD players, turntables, or controllers.
- Microphone Input with XLR: Perfect for announcements or vocal performances.
- Master and Booth Outputs: With RCA connectors for flexible sound output.
- Bluetooth Function: Music can be streamed wirelessly, and the signal can be assigned to channels 1 and 2.
This combination makes the mixers particularly versatile and allows for flexible integration into existing DJ setups.
Equalizer and Filter Section
Each channel is equipped with a 2-band equalizer that allows for separate adjustments of bass and treble. Additionally, both models feature a bipolar filter that can be used as a high-pass or low-pass filter. This function is particularly useful for DJs who work with filter sweeps or want to make their mixes more creative.
Crossfader and Fader Curve Adjustment
For scratch DJs and those who like to work with quick transitions, the crossfader offers an adjustable curve and a reverse function. This allows the fader characteristics to be customized to suit individual styles. The line faders have a pleasant feel and allow for precise mixing.
Effects and Differences Between PM-202F and PM-202FX
The key difference between the two models lies in the effects section:
- PM-202F: Basic mixer functionality without integrated effects.
- PM-202FX: Includes six integrated effects: Chorus, Reverb, Delay, Flanger, Wah, and Phaser.
These effects can be activated via a backlit button and their intensity can be controlled with a knob. If you like working with effects, the PM-202FX offers an interesting expansion.
Price and Availability
Both models will be available in the coming weeks. Their prices are in an attractive range:
- PM-202F: Approx. 159 Euros
- PM-202FX: Approx. 199 Euros
With these prices, the mixers position themselves as affordable alternatives to more expensive devices from major manufacturers, while still offering some interesting features for DJs with smaller budgets.
