Scratch Mixers Cheat Sheet

August 22, 2019

I get many questions about Scratch DJ equipment, particularly mixers, so I have created a simple list of full size scratch mixers currently available to purchase, brand new in retail stores.

You can use this list to do your own research and see what suits you best.

There are many review sites and videos out there to help you make an informed buying decision which at the end of the day comes down to personal preference. If you can try a mixer out in person, I highly recommend doing so.

I’ve linked each mixer back to the official product page so you can see exact specifications.

I’m not affiliated with any of these companies and none of these links are affiliate links.

Serato compatible mixers / controllers are highlighted in bold and marked with an asterisk*.

In no particular order…
