Numark DM1050 Master Mix Series DJ Mixer

The Numark DM1050 is a classic two-channel, compact professional DJ scratch mixer from the early to mid-2000s. Physically, it features a steel chassis with a distinct two-tone faceplate design; the upper portion is finished in matte black housing the channel faders and crossfader, while the lower section is a brushed silver-tone plate containing the EQ knobs and master controls. The unit measures approximately 9 x 10 inches and is designed for tabletop or rack-mount use. Notable features include a three-band EQ for each channel, a dedicated microphone input with its own gain and EQ controls, a replaceable crossfader with slope and reverse controls, and a 6-segment LED level meter for visual monitoring. The construction is solid entry-level professional grade, weighing several pounds. Condition-wise, this specific unit shows significant signs of usage and environmental wear. There is visible surface grime, dust accumulation around the fader tracks, and noticeable scuffing on the black finish and around the 'DM1050' branding. The fader caps are original, but the housing shows general wear typical of a piece of gear that has been used in a resident DJ booth or home practice setup. While the hardware appears intact, the accumulation of debris in the fader slots may indicate a need for contact cleaning to ensure smooth signal transmission.
