The Numark M4 is a three-channel analogue DJ mixer designed for DJs who need more input flexibility than a basic two-channel unit. It combines six source inputs, three-band EQ on every channel, microphone control, LED metering and an adjustable replaceable crossfader.
Numark M4 key features
- Three mixer channels.
- Two switchable phono/line RCA inputs.
- Four additional line RCA inputs.

- Master/PFL meter switching.
- Replaceable crossfader.
- Crossfader reverse and slope controls.
- Master and Record RCA outputs.
Three-channel flexibility
The M4 gives three physical mixer channels rather than two, allowing more sources to remain connected at once. Two channels can accept phono or line-level sources, while the additional line inputs are useful for media players, samplers or other devices.
Three-band EQ and metering
Each channel includes gain and three-band EQ with deep cut ranges. The central LED meter can monitor master or PFL levels, making gain matching easier before a source reaches the main mix.
Crossfader controls
The replaceable crossfader includes reverse and slope controls. That allows the mixer to work for smooth blending as well as faster scratch-style cuts.

M4 vs M2
The M2 is a simpler two-channel scratch mixer. The M4 adds a third channel and more line inputs, making it the more flexible choice for multi-source setups.
Overall view
The M4 is built for DJs who need several analogue sources connected at once but do not need USB audio or software integration. Its main advantage is straightforward routing and a genuine third mixer channel.
