Numark Party Mix II DJ Controller with Built-in Light Show

The Numark Party Mix II is a highly popular and affordable DJ controller, specifically designed for those who are just starting out with DJing. It's an upgrade to the original Party Mix and offers a user-friendly way to get into the world of mixing.

Key Features

• Integrated Light Show: Like its predecessor, the Party Mix II features three multi-colored LEDs on the back. These "party balls" create a beat-synchronized light show, providing an instant party atmosphere in a bedroom or small room. There's a switch to turn the lights on and off.

• DJ Software & Streaming: The controller is tightly integrated with Serato DJ Lite, which is included for free. This software allows you to mix tracks from your own music library, and also gives you access to millions of songs through streaming services like TIDAL, SoundCloud GO+, Beatport LINK, and Beatsource LINK (with a subscription).

• Mobile Device Compatibility: The Party Mix II is also compatible with popular mobile DJ apps like djay Pro AI by Algoriddim. This means you can use it with an iPhone or iPad, providing a truly portable setup for on-the-go DJing.

• Pro-Style Layout: The controller has a professional-style layout, which makes it easy for beginners to learn and transition to more advanced gear later on. It includes:

  • Touch-sensitive jog wheels: These allow for scratching and nudging tracks, a significant improvement over the non-touch-sensitive platters of the original Party Mix.

  • Performance pads: Four pads on each deck can be used for Hot Cues, Loops, Sampler, and Effects, giving you creative control over your mixes.

  • Dedicated filter knobs: A filter knob on each deck provides an easy and effective way to add flair to your transitions.

  • 2-band EQ: Each deck has controls for High and Low frequencies.

• USB-Powered: The Party Mix II is powered via a single USB cable connected to your computer, which enhances its portability as it doesn't require a separate power supply.

Party Mix II vs. Party Mix Live

The main difference between the Party Mix II and the Party Mix Live is the built-in speakers.

• Party Mix II: Does not have built-in speakers. It is powered by USB and has a 1/8" (3.5mm) main output to connect to external speakers, as well as a headphone jack for cueing.

• Party Mix Live: Includes built-in stereo speakers. This makes it a true all-in-one package, but it requires a separate power adapter to run.

For a beginner or hobbyist who already has a set of speakers, the Party Mix II is often recommended as the more portable and slightly more affordable option.
