Numark Party Mix Live DJ Controller with Built-in Light Show & Speakers

The Numark Party Mix Live is a popular and very accessible DJ controller designed for beginners and casual users. It's part of the Numark "Party Mix" series, known for its all-in-one approach to getting started with DJing.

Key Features

• Built-in Speakers: This is the defining feature of the "Live" model. It includes stereo speakers directly in the controller, allowing you to mix and practice without needing external speakers. There's a switch to turn them off if you want to use headphones or an external sound system.

• Integrated Light Show: The controller has three multi-colored LED lights on the back that sync with the beat of the music. This creates an instant light show, making it a great option for house parties or small get-togethers.

• Software and Streaming Integration: The Party Mix Live comes with Serato DJ Lite software (a popular choice for DJs). This software allows you to access and mix tracks from streaming services like TIDAL, Beatport LINK, Beatsource LINK, and SoundCloud GO.

• Mobile Device Compatibility: In addition to working with a laptop (PC or Mac), the controller is also compatible with popular iOS apps like Algoriddim's djay Pro AI. This means you can use it with your iPhone or iPad for a truly portable setup. (Note: Android is not currently supported.)

• Pro-Style Features: Despite its beginner-friendly nature, the controller includes many features found on professional gear, such as:

  • Touch-sensitive jog wheels for scratching and nudging tracks.

  • Four performance pads on each deck with modes for effects, cue points, loops, and samples.

  • Dedicated filter knobs on each deck.

  • Sync, play/pause, and cue buttons.

  • Pitch sliders for tempo adjustments.

  • A 2-band EQ on each deck.

• Connectivity: It has a 1/8 (3.5mm) headphone output for cueing your next track and a 1/8 (3.5mm) main output to connect to an external sound system if needed.

Party Mix Live vs. Party Mix II

The "Party Mix Live" is an upgrade from the "Party Mix II." The main difference is the built-in speakers. The Party Mix II has all the other featuresthe light show, pads, jog wheels, and software compatibilitybut lacks the integrated speakers. This means the Party Mix Live is powered by an external power adapter, while the Party Mix II can be powered directly via a USB cable from your computer.

• Beginners: It's an all-in-one solution that provides everything you need to start learning to DJ.

• Casual Users/Hobbyists: Perfect for throwing small parties, practicing in a bedroom, or taking on the go without the hassle of a full-sized setup.

• Parents buying a first controller for a child: The built-in lights and speakers make it a fun and complete package straight out of the box.
