F E A T U R E S

The PMC-007, like its predecessors the PMC-05Pro & PMC-07Pro, is a professional 2-channel (PGM) battle worthy mixer perfect for serious scratch DJs who are looking for improved sound quality, control and flexible options to increase their creative potential.

2 Channel scratch mixer with an open battle zone around the Cross Fader and Input Faders making it perfect for fast scratching and battle moves.

3 Band Isolator on each PGM with proprietary Vestax infinity cut and +4dB boost.

Scratch EQ. Simply press the scratch EQ button to instantly set the isolator EQ on that channel to an optimal scratch setting of HI = MID = and LOW = . Sure to open up some new moves in how it is used this a great feature for creating some new variant acoustic scratches.

Effects routing on both channels with advanced monitoring features for all environments. This effects loop can be used for group session turntablism.

Cross Fader Freeze (Mute). Means that you can practice a scratch or mix on the master fader without the sound being broadcast through the Master section. Pressing this button freezes the master output level of that channel so that what happens on the cross fader can only be heard in the headphone monitor section.

ReX (Rapid Exchange Fader System). In addition to high-grade third generation PCV faders (CF & IF) the PMC-007 also incorporates Vestax's latest fader exchange system. These faders can be replaced in under 30 seconds, freeing up time on the fly and making service a breeze. Think of the future applications for a fader system that can be replaced at whim in under 30 seconds!

Balanced XLR outputs, unbalanced 1/4 inch out and Booth out.

MIC with 2 Band EQ and effect loop input option.

1/4 headphone and mini jack options.
