Numark M6 USB

A cheap, plain four-channel mixer with USB recording; loose-feeling faders and sparse meters are the trade-off.

The Internet’s Opinion

From 2 professional reviews and 12 owner reviews: not much evidence yet.

Evidence is thin: two professional reviews and twelve owner reviews. Both reviews and most owners call it a simple, solidly built four-channel mixer for very little money; the repeated reservations are loose channel faders, four-LED channel meters, a USB link limited to one stereo channel, and sound that is adequate rather than clean.

Our take

Tony AllenWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

Evidence is thin: two German reviews (Bonedo gives it 4/5) and twelve owner reviews at Guitar Center. Both reviews and nine owners credit four channels for very little money, and many call it simple and solidly built. Both reviews found the channel faders loose and the four-LED channel meters sparse, and its USB link carries only one stereo channel. Buy it as a cheap, basic four-channel mixer; look elsewhere for DVS or scratching.

What it is

Status, October 2026: current. Numark still lists the M6 USB.

What it is

The M6 USB is a four-channel DJ mixer from Numark, announced at Musikmesse in March 2010 (Numark product page). Numark's line of club-style mixers also includes the two-channel M2 and the M4.

Each of the four channels has an input selector, gain, a three-band EQ, a cue button and an LED level meter. Two RCA phono inputs, with a grounding terminal, take turntables, and four RCA line inputs take CD players, samplers or audio interfaces. A dedicated XLR mic channel has its own gain and three-band EQ, and its talkover setting drops channels 1 to 4 to -12 dB; channel 4 takes a second microphone on a 1/4" jack. The crossfader is replaceable and has slope control, and any channel can be assigned to either side of it.

The USB port is class compliant, so it needs no driver on Mac, Windows or iOS. It sends the record mix to the computer and plays computer audio on channel 3, one stereo pair each way. On Windows, Numark suggests the free ASIO4ALL driver if latency is too high.

Outputs are a balanced XLR master, an RCA master, an RCA booth output with its own level, an RCA record output and a 1/4" headphone jack with a cue mix control and a split cue switch. A switch on the back sets the mains voltage. It measures 321 x 362 x 102 mm and weighs 4.4 kg. The box holds the mixer, a power cable, a USB cable, the quickstart guide and a safety and warranty booklet; audio cables are not included.
