With the highest demands from Professional users of various technique, and needs of incorporating the finest parameters for their performances and styles, adjustable to their preference have made Vestax to reinvent the mixer allowing input sources turning to digital data.
With this new technology, Vestax introducest the, Vestax Professional Hybrid Digital Mixer.
Vestax has turned the once quoted to be impossible, to become reality by bringing the 08 to life. Features that were only a dream with analog circuitry has been answered with a 24bit 96kHz DSP (digital signal processor).
Not only digital, but Vestax has answered the market demands with the most valuable piece, THE FADER and introducing a new FADER technology.
A mixer that not only has Effects send and return, but enables for 2 effects settings per channel for DJs in the mix or into scratch performances.
A mixer dedicated to sound quality was the design goal. The first ever mixer with DSP EQ and Isolator features, to allow the DJ the richest in sound quality from the sharpest kills, to the deepest warmth of sounds.
The PMC-08Pro is the answer from Vestax,to control analog AD/DA conversion and digital signal processing, at the lowest latency rate and highest performance level.
Features- The benefits of a Digital Engine
All input signals whether mixing, cutting, filtering, and all edit processing that runs digitally from Left to Right, through each channel or through the cross-fader is capable at crosstalk of 0 dB, levels unable to be ever thought of with analog mixers. Noiseless (distortionless), clarity and quality of sound, the sharpness in sound precision, what was once before thought of being impossible in perfecting, but now it has become reality with Vestax technology.
Furthermore, volume, fader control curves are tuned up internally by its software, allowing future fine tuning to adjust all features to your preference. Whether it is the EQ, or isolater, the cross fader cut-in time, you will be able to adjust and fine tune to your preference. Finally there will also be available an optional USB board to make sure you can allow infinite digital connectivity.
With a 24bit 96kHz digital signal processor loaded, this digital 2 channel performance mixer has brought the features that were once impossible to reality.
Components of the highest quality have been used, dedicated to only the best in performance and sound quality.
The digital circuit built into the cross fader has the perfect ability to cut out noises and sound leaks (especially the ones from the opposite channel). You may just call it the leak proof fader, as like no other cross fader it can adjust the cut in time digitally to your preference whether it be a millimeter to nanometer. To the scratchers and performance DJs, the sharpest cut you can ever dream of is finally here. Not only was this new fader methodology built and tested at Vestax, but was designed and consulted from the best DJs in the World to bring the smoothest sound contour and control with the World's sharpest cut-in time only capable by digital precision.
An incredible dual sound adjust system, a feature never seen before that allows you to switch the EQ to an isolator with a flick of a switch. The isolator allows the sound to cut out for a full kill in sound, however will have less depth in sound quality and expansion. While the EQ feature can allow sounds to carry more depth for the DJ who prefer the max in boost levels, and cross level points for high, mid and low EQs to perfectly match the track.
Two effect SEND/RCV stereo connections for DJs who want to expand their skills and styles with effects. Compact guitar effectors can be connected to make your style even more creative and for perfection, as we have added a selector to allow the DJ to match the levels of impedance for those using raw effects (effects, guitar effects) especially for the many performance DJs.
Effects return can also be monitored beforehand.
The industries most powerful AC-20 has been applied as the power supply for the highest power levels for a digital 2 channel mixer in order to stabilize and enhance sound quality. The internal voltage has a +/- 18 Volt Regulator allowing the greatest in Headroom and dynamic range, for the sound conscious DJ.
The unique Matrix Assign system selects the sound source from INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 and assigns it to both PGM channels. Play the same track on both channels and add effects to only one. A feature that makes your play style creative and original, only capable on the 08.
Longer LED bars have been applied for accurate level readings. The LED can be switched to indicate each PGM level and L/R of the monitor level. The LED is also made with colors Green, Yellow and Red for most accuracy.
A mute switch loaded on MASTER and BOOTH control. A sound engineer's dream and also for the DJ. No hassles with technicians and sound engineers on the stage or even at home by allowing you to have full levels, yet output kills for continuation of your performance for sound checking and mute playing via your headphones. Have you ever had the sound man say DON'T TOUCH any levels? Well it's now solved with the MUTE buttons allowing to keep all levels and still prep for your set!
Reinforced RCA, 1/4"and XLR plugs for maximum performance in quality and durability. The plugs have been reinforced with a bolt system to give security on the road and on stage.
Grounding knobs have been maximized for better control and grip when using Turntables
Currently in the works, is our new line-up of knobs. A more ergonomically feel with our cross and input faders, while new rotary knobs have been designed for the PERFECT feel in the mix and on the scratch.

Dat apparaat is van eerder bekend. Maar het gaat erom dat het nu beschikbaar is. Ook heb je voor veel later de specs nog op DJR. En deze is een bijzondere die niet mag ontbreken. Het moet de tegenhanger zijn van de DJM-800, maar dan voor de turntablist/scratchmaster scene i.p.v. de dance scene. De specs zijn echt niet mals zoals je waarschijnlijk hebt opgemerkt.
