have the audio 4 dj, and works great, my major con with this product is that my friend who ordered it got a cruddy made one, the ports on the back dont fit the cables right, everytime you plug the 3.55mm jack from the monitors, the audio dj pushes the jack out...wtf...causing no sound unless you hold them in, so ghetto rigging it now with rubberbands...i cry...trying to figure how to fix this cuz the product is really nice, great sound.

That sucks, sounds similar to our problems with the AK1.. I really liked the build quality EXCEPT for the shitty plastic USB input.. it wiggles around now and even if we ghetto rig it, if you breathe too hard it'll fuck up..

Oh well, we need to buy a new one anyways, something with more inputs that doesn't have the words "M-AUDIO" on it.. Might have to check out the audio2DJ tho, for portability..

although ive never heard of the port problem like i have with NI audio dj's, id still check the ports in the back and buy in store and make sure its not being pushed out. Really annoying.

I have had one since they came out. No problems with it at all.

With that size and price, how can you go wrong?

Had one for 9 months, it's ace, no problems as yet.
Comes with Stereo jack to phono leads too, which is nice :)
Some stuff, and some other stuff. Honest.

Maybe try another jack? Same thing can happen to phono cables. They can be squeezed a bit, so they get a tighter grip. Dont know about mini jacks. Probably possible if you open the device, and tighten the grip for the jack.
