Vestex PVC-275

Vestex PVC-275

got a new mixer, Vestex PVC-275, and im ded impressed.

its a really good mixer, if u mix with the cross fader its a total dream to use.
Took a while to get used to cueing with it tho, cos theres no pan thingy, but im coping....

i definity recommend it.

I never liked the fader on it mind. Don't use one anyway mind, but the PCV fader is a little too smooth.

It's a hell of a mixer to use, esp. for the money.

Hope you have as good a time with it as I did mine (which I sold on Friday).

ive not really had the chance to have a proper go yet, cos ive been @ work, but im taking friday off to have a play!

a bit more resistance on the cross fader would be nice....but ill cope i think!

a massive imporvement over the kam one i had!

DJM 600 for me next week

they are paying you too much!

means i spend the rest of the month sittin at home, wondering why i bought it

I bought Allies PCV275 off him, and im very impressed!

I only have two niggles about it, one is that there is no fixed "record out" function, and the other is that the EQ isnt as strong as it was on my old mixer, but since there are cracking isolators, it doesnt really matter!

Lovely and smooth, and very good quality!

No way mate it will keep you well entertained!!! A very good investment!!! :groovy:

yeah , i was wondering about that!

any ideas how to get round it?

how am i gonna make a cd now? hmmmmmmmm...

Just set the out at a nice level before you record.

As I remember, the 275 has no orange LED, only green to red. Therefore you want to be hitting full green and occasionally clipping the first red LED, to give more or less the perfect level.
Any other adjustments you should do via the amp.

ill just have to go out of the mixer, into my compuer, out of my copmpter, into my amp, and listen via the computer. if u get me!

no need mate, there are two master outs

One is standard RCA connection, and the other is a large jack connection, so you can have them connected seperately.

I need to get myself a rca - large jack cable before i can make and more cds or do any online mixing.

You will need to be careful with the master, ive set it as allie described, filling the green LED's at its peak, and im just going to leave it like that, and make volume adjustments with the amp.

With programs like wavelab, you can look at the levels before you commit to record anyway, i keep mine in the green, peaking at about -4/-3dB when making cd copies of vinyl. Gets a good quality recording that way, no distortion at all, and is pretty much the same level as the original when you play it back.

ahhh, cheers dude, ill have a look when i get in. ill have to get the cabel i need....

im used to recording, so im used to setting up the levels and stuff.....but cheers ofr the advice....

no bother, just thought id mention the levels cos i was so used to the fixed record out on my old mixer.

have a look at the back of the mixer, you will see that "master out 1" is large jacks, and "master out 2" is RCA

Aitken electronics sell the cable you need for around a fiver! Depends on the length tho, i need a 10m one (decks and pc are in different rooms) so it costs me about 7 quid

not bad really though.

It'd be cheaper to just by a long RCA - RCA (ten a penny) and 2 RCA-Jack adaptors (bout 75p) than a RCA - Double Jack lead btw

Actually Chris I don't think I need my adaptors anymore, with the DJM600 only having RCA and XLR Master outs, so you can have em if you like.

where can i get the adapters from?

do you know their official name if u get me? so i don t look a tit when i go to the shop

Try Aitken electronics in town or Maplin at the Metro center

I got mine from Aitken.

They're RCA-Jack adaptors Revel m8

cheers allie

i think ill have to bend the little bits that go around the socket when you plug them in normally cos they will stop me putting the jack adapters on!

Shouldn't be too hard tho!

They don't mate. They're adaptors, they adapt ROUND the phono plug, and convert it to a jack conenction. Invented to save the bending of small metal bits
