Appreciate the detailed review!
superb!
super
multsumesc!
Good video.
Hey Radu! How much tax did you pay on customs besides the original price? Is it comparable to Radius 4v on sound? thanks mate
Great review man. How do you like those lp120s? Any issues playing shows with them?
Hey Radu,
I have Stanton’s ST150 which are made like a Technics. Can these work on my Stanton’s?
Hey Radu, did u had it shipped to Romania or some other country? I was wondering how much u paid for customs.
did you have any issues connecting it to the LP120s? I can’t connect mine to my Mastersounds Radius 2 because the ground is carried via the RCAs and that mixer requires a separate ground lead in order to illuminate hum. It worked on my cheap behringer though
oh, I didn't have any issues with it.
Thanks for the video.
Does someone know what is the Option "Linear PSU"? Difference with and without?
Thanks for your answers
ist no magic, it is 100% what it says… with or without linear powerunit. for Questions About linear power and how it is important for Sound Quality just use Google and dig to it.
The linear PSU (power supply unit) is an upgrade to the standard power supply that comes with all mixers. The linear PSU is heavier at 0.9kg and has a 100-240v mains selector switch. It offers cleaner voltage and improves the mixer’s sonic performance. Although it tests to have a better noise floor level, the standard PSU is also very good (-85dB at unity) and the audible difference sits outside the normal human hearing spectrum. We offer the linear PSU as an option more for HI-FI set ups and to give audiophiles the confidence they are doing the best they can with their sound. Copied from their website.
How do you know on a rotary mixer like this, while you are CUEing the next track, the level that you are going to end applying to it? you mention that you use 7 as your average but while you are CUEing how do you estimate "oh this track is going to need 8.5 (or whatever) to match my current track" is that something that you just do on the fly as you bring up the levels? or do you infere that depending on how much volume you had o apply on the headphones?
It's a bit both. You can judge this by the position of the cue knob, if it makes you move it more towards the next track then probably the level of the next one is lower.
Then you can also feel it once you bring in the new track and you fade out the current track.
It's another type of mixing, less eyes, more ears.
Does the FX return act as a dry/wet knob?
not sure as I haven't used an external effects unit, yet.
does the stereo vu meter moves on your lucia. because mine don't
so the VU meters work here, make sure you're using master and not booth, if your speakers are on booth, the VU meters will not indicate anything.
Hey bro ! your reviews are fantastic, quick question , what do you think is better, the Lucia from Condesa or the Rane MP2015?
thank you x
David Conde thanks bro! unfortunately I'm completely unable to answer that question as I've never used a RANE MP2015. But I know RANE is digital built with ICs, Condesa is also analog and the mixer itself has a discrete design, I'm pretty sure Condesa sounds much better than RANE, but hey, that RANE has a lot of features on it that you might or might not use, depends on which type of DJ you are.
Legend ! thank you so much :)
I have a Condesa Carmen and it sounds way better than the 2015. I've used the Rane extensively and I use to own an original Urei 1620 back in the day.
Rane!
Aren't these based on the Bozak circuit?
Yes indeed, the mixer itself is inspired from the original Bozak from the 70s.
3k. Snap!
Hi, Radu! Thanks for the video! :) Could you be compared it to a E&S DJR400?
the isolator is a bit smoother than the one you find on an E&S. that being said it doesn't mean the one on the E&S is worse, it's a mater of taste, depends if you prefer a more aggresive isolator or not. Soundwise I think the Condesa sounds better.
Are u using the 2 pole iso or 4?
Thanks mate
it's the original, 2 pole one.
i have a question, when the headphone cue knob is in the middle, do you hear both tracks ?
hello, yes.
@@raduc0m multumesc !
How is the Knob Resistance slow ,Fast,
hard to say as it's down to personal preference, so what's slow/fast to me might not be to you. however what I can say is that not all the knobs use the same pots. the isolator + channels + master knobs are Alps Alpine RK27 (a bit slower/tighter) and all the other ones are a different brand (faster).
hi! how are you!? I’m interested in a Condesa mixer ; how the mixer is shipped from Australia ? When it arrives, does it get taxed by USA customs ? If so, what is the percentage of the tax ?
Hey man, you can contact them here and ask them these questions condesaelectronics.com/behind-the-designs/.
Customs tax depends on the country you're living in and they might not be able to answer that, but regarding all the other questions they should have responses for you.
Cheers.
marcos augusto, great question does anyone in the United States have one?
There are three in San Antonio, Texas and one in Austin, Texas.
hi, how does the cue knob work exactly? when you have it 12 o' clock can you hear both channels then at the same time?
exactly, that's correct, at 12 o'clock you hear both channels at the same time, once you start turning it towards 8-10 o'clock you hear only channel one and towards 2-4 channel two.
Is head phone cue post eq?
Hi, can you link your laptop to it?
If so I will be ordering one!
you can connect a line source which can be your laptop, yes, however I'm not sure exactly what you mean with "link your laptop to it". What's the setup you wanna use?
I will be using CDJ's. But I want to record from my laptop (plus I do a internet radio) so I just needed to know if you can do that.
And I noticed that their is no air vents, dose the mixer gets warm? Just to let you know I've orderd the Carmen EQ/ISO
The mixer does have a REC output which will give you the master signal at a line level, so you can plug that into your laptop and record/broadcast to your radio server (I'm actually doing that, too).
Indeed it doesn't have air vents, it gets a bit warm but nothing to worry about, I have done all night long nights with it and it was turned on for 6+ hours, nothing happened.
Have fun with your Carmen!
Thanks bro!
Those adapters in your booth outs are TS to RCA not TRS
Will this unit take an input from a digital source like a cdj or an rca cable from a computer ?
it does have a phono and a line input for each channel, so yes, it does work with cdj/computer input signal.
Yes. I've hooked up my CDJ-2000s to it.
interesting video, I have a question about your turntables... why the lp120? you're obviously a competent dj, so why don't you have super OEM turntables or even Technics?
I ask as I have the lp120s, as they were such good value! I'm happy with them but they're no where near as good as more expensive models ( in my opinion).
Cheers
Thank you!
Well, a couple of years back when I switched from belt to direct drive, the SL-1200 model had been already discontinued. I made the wrong decision to stick to a new pair of turntables (these AT LP120) instead of buying an SH one which in this case would have been the SL-1200s. I was somehow afraid that if they break (which barely happens with SL-1200s) I wouldn't find spare parts (which again doesn't happen). It was definitely the wrong decision but I'm thinking of buying a new pair of SL-1200GR.
Cheers.
How does it sound with CDJs?
no idea, I haven't tried with CJDs yet.
Haven't tried with CDJs yet, but probably damn good.
I ordered the brand new Carmen V a couple weeks ago :)
I have a Condesa Carmen. I switched from MP3s to AIFF files. I also upgraded my RCAs/Interconnectors to Wire World Solstice 7. I could hear a tremendous difference in sound quality afterwards. Before the changes MP3s sound weak to me.
Nice but for 3k I'd rather save a bit more and buy a Model One
please put your mic out of pants
Георгий Карцев you're not even close, I was recording with my mobile phone which was obviously in one of my hands.
thank for the review! waiting for more *)
