Six-channel creative mixing
Six channels make the V10 suitable for setups that combine several players, turntables, samplers, drum machines and other sources. The mixer is designed for DJs who layer elements rather than simply alternate between two decks.
4-band EQ and compressor
Each channel has a 4-band EQ plus a compressor. The extra EQ band provides more detailed frequency control, while compression can help bring quieter material forward without simply raising gain aggressively.
Master isolator
Large low, mid and high isolator controls shape the entire master mix. Crossover points and behaviour can be adjusted, making the section useful for large-scale tonal changes across several layered sources.
Effects and external routing
The send/return system can work with built-in Send FX and external processors. This makes the V10 particularly attractive to DJs who treat effects as part of a wider live-performance rig.
Back-to-back monitoring
Two separate headphone sections let two DJs prepare independently, while booth EQ allows the monitor sound to be tuned separately from the master output.
Software and DVS support
The V10 supports rekordbox DVS, Serato DVS, Traktor Pro 3 DVS and djay Pro DVS with the relevant software licences or subscriptions.

Overall view
