The Numark M6 USB is the most affordable way to get a genuine four-channel DJ mixer. Four independent channel strips with dedicated faders give you full hardware mixing for four sources at once — turntables, CDJs, media players, or any combination.
What you get
Each channel has 3-band EQ and switchable phono/line inputs, and a dedicated microphone input with its own gain control makes it useful for mobile DJs who MC events. Master, booth, record, and headphone outputs cover the standard connectivity, and the USB connection doubles as an audio interface for recording your mixes. The crossfader is replaceable, so when it wears out — and it will with heavy use — you can swap it rather than the whole mixer.
Where it cuts corners
Build quality and fader feel are basic, and there's no DVS certification or onboard effects. This is a straightforward mixer that does the fundamentals rather than a refined one. But for beginners who want four channels for around $250, it's the clear choice — see how it compares in our best DJ mixers for beginners guide.
