Simon Lewis Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi y'all, I could do with a dual CD player, but its projected use doesn't warrant spending £400 upwards for a "pro" model. A supplier has Soundlab dual CD on offer, at a price that could almost be throw away money... Given that its use will be occasional and that it will be fairly well treated, am I going to be unduly disappointed with - audio quality- reliability- facilities- sniggers from audio snobs when they look at the label ;-) Curious...

Jivemaster Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 That and the Numark that Maplin are selling for 140 ish will work well for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 A friend of my son's (who does some casual DJing) has a Soundlab dual CD player which still works after a couple years in and out of the boot of his Astra. As for sound quality, it's as good as the rest of his Maplins-special amps and speakers, whatever that means. Can't help you on the sniggers though...but to do sound you need a thick skin anyway!

Shez Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 A few years ago we had a soundlab player in a student radio station; it lasted one licence (four weeks all day & evening) before dying. The denon that replaced it has been working fine ever since. For light use it'll probably be OK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Beech Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Shouldn't be too bad for light work, you'd benefit from a flightcase but then you'd probably end up paying more for a case. As for sniggers from people, if someone goes to a venue who isn't working there and does have a laugh at the gear you are using ask them why they are not out working themselves. Had someone the other day come up to me claiming to be a full time sound engineer, said it was very bass heavy at the back corner (REALLY?).Rather than remind (tell) him of why this was I asked him why he wasn't working on a friday night. he walked off.
