![]() No leads are provided in the box for hooking up such devices though, apart from a standard laptop USB-B to USB-A, which is a shame (a short USB-C to Lightning and/or USB-C to USB-C would have been nice). There are USB-B sockets around the back for two laptops, but one is switchable to a USB-C for an iPad or iPhone running djay Pro AI. Sure, it costs a lot less than its competitors, but the Mixon 8 still has every possible input and output you could possibly expect: four decks, two laptops, and so on. There are two mic channels, with talkover, and these are routed through channels 3 and 4 when required. Speaking of outputs, there are booth and master outs, the latter with an XLR balanced option, and all four channels can take external inputs, two of which are switchable from line to phono.

The Mixon 8 has stuff you’d only find on pro mixers – a stereo/mono button at the top, and more excitingly, a split cue button near the bottom, which is something you just don’t see on DJ controllers. ![]() Personally I’m quite happy with jogwheels this size, and these also have screens built in, but they do feel a little stiff in use. Its pads, faders, knobs and transport buttons are all well spaced and full sized, but its jogs are relatively small for a unit of this size – think Prime 4 rather than FLX6/10. It also has four FX paddles – a first for any DJ gear we can think of. It’s unashamedly a controller, with a nowadays unusual “mirror image” layout and two full FX engine control areas, two things that are rare on DJ gear nowadays.
