M1X-DJ sound system

Great product, should come with the app though. Easy to figure out and is pretty loud

I am a beginning DJ and originally selected this system for portability and because the deck didn't look very crowded or difficult to learn. As the M1X-DJ provided, I wanted a system that I could pick up and plug-and-play anywhere. Anywhere, that is, until I tried it without being plugged into AC power. Unbeknownst to me (it was pretty hard finding reviews and info about this product beyond the manual to begin with), the system doesn't supply power to the Lightning cable on battery power. Without this connection, my phone and Djay 2 cannot connect and the DJ board side is useless. Basically, it becomes a simple Bluetooth speaker with AUX I/O. This is a unique subtlety unique to my situation, where my "anywhere" was going to be remote Boy Scout camping locations. Most users probably won't encounter this, but I feel as if this information needs to be published somewhere. As for the rest of the system, it is very good and functional for learning the basics in beatmatching, transitioning, and making a beginning mix. The speaker is powerful enough to fill a sizeable room - I never had to exceed 2/3 of the maximum volume to date. Every now and then, I will have some anomalies where the board will stop responding to Djay 2 and I'll lose control, or my tempo will change randomly (the latter case is usually fixed by pausing and resuming, and the former by restarting the system and app). While some of these issues are probably the software's fault this proves critical for a system reliant on Djay 2. All in all, Armin Van Buuren partnered with Phillips to construct an entry-level system for people to be able to plug and learn. This system accomplishes that goal and provides a mostly glitch-free experience; my only beef is that the portability factor was the most advertised component, yet the DJ decks are reliant on AC power alone.

This is a good product. Sound quality is excellent. Price is not bad also. Would have been a super great product if this item is not limited to iPads.

Get rid of the D batteries and install a rechargeable motorcycle battery type. Add support for Android including App Then it's a 5 star across the board

It would be great if at least you could update the firmware or something. It just don't work with iOS 11 or 12. So you have a big Bluetooth speaker only. Sad.
