Even though it technically debuted in 2017 on the Denon DJ SC5000 , the 7” high-resolution, multi-touch display still looks impressive. Creating powerful transitions and memorable mixes has never been so easy. Combining the powerful onboard effects and the 3-band EQ, you can easily create massive transitions at the touch of a few buttons. The FX section is comprised of four different effects including Echo, Flanger, Delay and Phaser.

The high-quality, built-in speakers of the Mixstream Pro Go make it truly standalone and ready for action, right out of the box. These volume adjustable, custom-tuned drivers produce rich, full sound and are the perfect solution for mixing your music on the go. For active DJs, the built-in speakers are the ultimate, convenient option for practicing, livestreaming, video content creation, and personal monitoring when connected to a larger sound system. Recent additions to the software include a “heads up” display for the performance pads on the unit, giving you touchscreen access to them (this is good, because the Mixstreams only have four physical pads but there are eight “buttons” overall that can be used), and a simple sampler for DJ drops and so on – the latter is not available on any other standalone DJ systems, being currently unique to Engine DJ systems. The unit has a pre-defined Audio setup and a special button in the AUDIO tab of VirtualDJ Settings to provide that. Use advanced features like Ableton Link to synchronise your DJ set with production software or hardware on the same network. Engine Lighting lets you run light shows from your MixStream Pro Go either pre-programmed in SoundSwitch with the DMX interface or control Philips Hue lighting over wifi on the same network. The Mixstream Pro Go DJ Controller boasts a whole set of professional attributes, including four in-built effects (Echo, Flanger, Delay and Phaser), large Filter knobs, a 3-band EQ, two USB inputs, one SD card slot and Computer Mode option, which allows the hardware unit to be used as a software controller for Serato (available soon) and Virtual DJ, including full on-screen visuals. Engine DJ PoweredThis is a total revolution for the digital DJ industry and means newcomers don’t need to invest in a performance laptop or smart device to go with their gear! Central 7” High-Resolution Multi-Touch Display

It appears less odd than the Denon DJ Prime Go, another controller from the same wider stable (both Denon DJ and Numark are owned by inMusic). That too runs the Engine DJ operating system that powers the Numark Pro Go, but the Numark unit has much bigger jogwheels, and has got around the issue of having to have a 7″ touchscreen front and centre by opting for short pitch controls, and rearranging the mixer, with the EQ and gain knobs to the left and right of the two channel faders, and the filter knobs in a completely different place (left and right of the screen). The Denon DJ Prime Go is still the more professional of the two units, but this one feels more like a conventional DJ controller. DJing at home or playing a small party? No need to plug in extra speakers, as these’ll do the job. Master, Balanced: +20 dBu (maximum) / +4 dBu (unity) Master, Unbalanced: +16 dBu (maximum) / 0 dBu (unity) Headphone Output: < 30 mW available sample banks let you load your own or the pre-loaded samples to the performance pads and assign the output to any of the channels or the master output. Where the sampler is assigned to the master output, you can control the volume level on screen. Although not necessarily for open-format or scratch DJs, the central mixer section has adopted a battle-style layout.

Whether at a beach gathering, a luxury poolside or on an open-top bus, with its sleek new gunmetal finish and a subtler lighting accent , it blends in to almost any location. You’ll want to charge the internal battery if using away from mains (adaptor provided to do so), and they’ve also provided a USB cable for if/when you wish to connect to a computer, which will usually be to use with DJ software. Streaming first A common gripe with the previous Mixstreams is that there is no alternative way to set loops on the device, only with the performance pads. The same is true here. However, this is by no means a deal breaker, as it’s easy to create loops with the pads. Built-in Drop Sampler All the Mixstream Pro units can plug directly into a professional sound system, appealing to both beginners and professionals alike.

No matter where you are, you can get the party started instantly thanks to the onboard speakers monitors complete with volume control. The built-in speakers have been custom-tuned to deliver high-powered sound reproduction to ensure the best possible listening experience. Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz +/- 1 dB Dynamic Range: > 114 dB (A-weighted) Signal-to-Noise Ratio: > 94 dB (A-weighted)Users can be up and running, practising their mixing within minutes of unboxing the device without any external computer involvement. As for needing a laptop like with other digital DJ gear, a powerful processor teamed with the very capable onboard library management and performance software means the device itself takes care of computer grunt work like analysing music. In addition to being able to DJ in Standalone Mode with Engine DJ OS, the Mixstream Pro Go’s Computer Mode allows you to use the device as a DJ software controller for Serato DJ (in an upcoming release) and Virtual DJ (Serato DJ Lite is supported for free, a paid license is required for Serato DJ Pro and Virtual DJ). When in Computer Mode, the Mixstream Pro Go’s touch screen offers hands-on control over library navigation, song selection, FX control, and more. This incredible flexibility combined with the sweet freedom of being battery-powered opens up an entirely new world of location options for your DJ adventures.

This battery-powered controller also features wireless connectivity to Philips Hue and Nanoleaf smart home lighting for on-beat, automated light shows. The 7” multi-gesture high-definition touchscreen and 6” platters with Smart Scratch feature provide precise control over your music, while the FX section with 4 effects and 2 toggle switches allows you to add your personal touch to your mixes. The device should be visible in the MAPPING tab of VirtualDJ Settings and the “ factory default” available/selected from the Mappings drop-down list. The position of the speakers is a little odd (they’re where your hands naturally fall when mixing) – but of course if you’ve seen or played on the Numark Mixstream Pro or Pro+ units, this will all seem very familiar. That’s because apart from the addition of the rechargeable battery, the Numark Mixstream Pro Go is exactly the same controller as its stablemates.Professional DMX lights are also controllable within Engine Lighting with a paid subscription to SoundSwitch. Simply plug them into the device with a DMX-to-USB adapter or cable and enjoy the same convenient control. Finally, while it is totally possible to plug your own speakers in to this unit (or indeed plug it in at a venue for DJing in public), for practising or even for tiny, living room parties, the built-in speakers will be what you’ll probably start with. All Engine OS hardware features access to a built-in Drop Sampler. Eight slots to store and trigger samples or entire songs!
