Discussion on the iconic Numark into MPC2000/XL set-up.

Any Numark product should work with the XL but...Which specific Numark product are you talking about? DJ mixer? Turntable? CD/Media player? Controllers? Microphones? Headphones?

Hell... I had my old Radio Shack/Realistic mixer hooked up to my XL. Worked fine.

Agreed!
I still have the Numark DJ mixer shown above (in the first pic, with super big face-plate, I actually trimmed the sides to make it smaller. I posted the pics (among with the restoring process) on this forums long ago.)
It was a nice DJ mixer that time (GLi mixer was also very popular. Gemini was also popular, but it was pretty crappy), but I find it too noisy. (I really like my RANE mixer for its clean sound.) It also has pretty messy internal circuit; a lot of jumper wires in the mixer. That multi-band EQ was fun! Again, that EQ is noisy too.
Oh, I loved the LED VU meter, it was the best feature of the mixer (if you ask me), it's big & bright, LOL!

BUT, back in mid eighties (in my area) you weren't a dj if you didn't have these.

That's really interesting. I looked these up. Is it like an FX pedal or something? How could I integrate it into my set-up of an MPC2000 and a mixer?
