GO owners don’t HAVE to buy this. There are far cheaper options if they insist on EQ, and IMO the EQ isn’t really required anyway when using a suitable mic.
I posted elsewhere recently that there’s a new rotary mixer on the market that costs almost £2,000. Guess what? No mic EQ on that either.
Cheap (or expensive) bus mixer, Mic EQ problem solved.
TBH though, if you’re singing in front of monitors I get you might need to notch out feedback or tweak your Tina Turner voice, but for DJ-ing? Really?
Oh hang about though. Unlike Mojaxx I divvent like hip-hop.
That mic looks perfect. According to it’s manual, the bottom button puts the mic into a “Power Ballad Mode”. It’s also perfect for announcing the beginning of my wedding sets with “You don’t know the POW-AH of the DARK SiDE!” before launching into some improv LTJ Bukem for the bride and groom’s first dance.
Will let you know when I try it out at my wedding on Saturday. I bought a pair of them for karaoke (which I don’t do that often). Be interesting to see how it compares to my main Sennheiser system but I’m not expecting much for £50 to be honest.
A new arrival in the team !
My lfriend found a nearly new Prime 2, used once, then brought back to the store and sold in B stock for €740
They’re as rare as anything now. Especially in that condition.
yeah ! that’s why my friend was looking for one, it’s the perfect format to go mix in bars, and it’s still quite complete. She prefers it to the sc live 2 which she finds less complete.
And for barely more expensive than a mixstream pro go, it was a good deal
It’s a very underrated unit imo, the Live devices definitely aren’t a replacement I don’t think, too many compromises.
I totally agree with that. The prime 2 already offers much more than an RX3 which is nevertheless sold for nearly 2000€
the SC live even if they are more recent are clearly not up to the prime 2, especially the sc live 2 which only has 4 pad buttons, much smaller jogs, no SSD bay etc…
And then the prime 2 definitely feels more premium, more high-end, more professional
More balanced connections too, its only downside is not being able to work with most DJ software.
Ebay’s a dangerous place!
…i’ve just picked up this beauty, which looks like it’s been very well cared for by its previous owner.
2 x Prime 2s in a week……whaaaaaaaatttt!!
Similar price as well. …I paid £650
It will be dead handy for the walk in gigs, where you want to get in & out as quickly as possible.
It’s perfect for that, and exactly what mine is for. With a battery powered monitor I can be set up in 5 mins and broken down to leave just as fast.
Magma case and deck saver combo works a treat for protecting it too.
I think 2 channel devices are seriously underrated, which is a shame as it means we risk seeing less of them.
Things are often appreciated at their true value only when they begin to become scarce.
Prime GO not small enough? Try the Drift Zero! https://driftdj.com/
Maybe there will be a new Prime 2+ at some point. If it had all the features of the Prime4+ except for the zone out and extended Mic section and mixer layout of the SC Live2, it would be my device straight away. I rarely use 4 channels.
I don’t think we’ll ever see a prime2+ and that’s for several reasons:
A large part of the DJs don’t care about having 4 channels, they don’t need them. And having a standalone product such as the prime 2 is all they need.
Because the prime 2 was well thought out, maybe even too well thought out, it offers the essentials in a relatively light and compact device to carry without making big sacrifices on comfort or layout. This product perfectly met a huge part of the market that does not need 4 channels, for almost half the price of an RX3 while having more features.
Maybe even a little too much to the point of overshadowing the sales of the prime 4…
Yes, it’s a real shame. I use my Prime 4+ mostly at home and occasionally for events - actually the almost perfect device - unfortunately just very big, especially if you don’t have much space. A narrower version with full equipment with 2 channels would be perfect
