NS7 II Review

Numark-NS7-II

This review has been long overdue, we are very excited to bring you a review on the product from the staff here at VJstreet.  If you have any questions about our review don’t be afraid to post them in the comment section below.

At first glance at the packaging my first thought was that we had ordered the wrong product. I had heard the rumblings about this unit being a little too big and was afraid they were true. Once the unit is out it is visible that the size is perfect. I wouldn’t invest too much into the rumors about it being cumbersome, considering that it encompasses multiple tools into one apparatus.

The NS7 had some amazing features so naturally the NS7 II would improve upon those and it did. The layout is logical and cerebral, all of the buttons are in areas that make sense.  While there were many improvements the ability to edit beat grids from the unit versus the laptop is a great example of the evolution of the product. The NS7 II offers exclusive content for your Serato DJ. Beyond giving a maximum level of control there are never before seen features available on your Serato DJ.

The younger generation really has it great, machines like the NS7II are the final product of innovation in the field. While the older generation has to get used to feel of a 7 inch turntable versus a 12 inch vinyl, having an entire music catalogue at your fingertips is a decent trade off. The NS7 II feels as authentic as it is going to get.

It comes as no shock that here at VJstreet we highly recommend the NS7II. The size, feel and improvements are second to none. A DJ would be hard pressed to find a better machine. Thanks for reading and please leave any comments or questions you have at the bottom, we love to help.
