not sure as I haven't used an external effects unit, yet.

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.

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.

oh, I didn't have any issues with it.

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.

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.

Yes indeed, the mixer itself is inspired from the original Bozak from the 70s.

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).

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!

it's the original, 2 pole one.

hello, yes.

@@raduc0m multumesc !

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.

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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 *)
