From the manufacturer
Core Tactile Control
Put hands-on control at the center of your Serato DJ setup with AMX, the ultimate ultra-portable 2-channel mixing surface from Akai Professional. AMX provides core 2 deck control of Serato DJ with an intuitive, in-demand array of faders, touch-activated knobs, and buttons. Combining a curve-adjustable mini innoFADER™ crossfader, dedicated line faders, and control signal inputs, AMX can interface Serato DJ with turntables using Serato NoiseMap™ (DVS) or HID players, conveniently over a single USB cable. Built-in headphone and master outputs integrate into any booth or tabletop setup, bringing the iconic Akai Professional hardware experience to stages and studios all over the world.
Reactive Performance
The EQ and Filter knobs on AMX are tactile, responsive controls for dramatically shaping tracks and carving out expressive transitions; but there’s more here than meets the eye - they react to the human touch. In Touch mode, each knob responds to a twist, a touch or a combination of both - with a simple tap, you can kill an entire frequency band (or two, or three); remove your finger and the missing bands become audible again, instantly. With Touch mode disengaged, they function as traditional mixer-style knobs for precision control over each decks’ sonic composition. The result? Adaptable performance and immersive, expressive mix capability.
Uncompromising Response
AMX features the renowned innoFADER mini crossfader at the heart of its mixing surface. Coveted for its uncanny response, smooth action and impossibly-durable build quality, the innoFADER gives DJs of all types unmatched command over transitions and cuts.
With a fully-adjustable curve response, the innoFADER mini can be calibrated for turntablists, electronic music DJ’s and scratch/battle performers – AMX even includes a fader reverse switch – that can be worked hard, night in and night out.
Pro-Grade Audio Interface
AMX packs premium professional functionality into a compact form-factor – take it everywhere – but it doesn’t stop at in-demand mix control. In addition to transport and mixing functionality, AMX features an on-board studio-grade audio interface - with support for 24-bit, 96kHz resolutions you can be sure every subtle nuance of your mix is replicated in uncanny detail.
Getting the mix from your computer to an amplification system couldn’t be simpler – with conveniently located RCA audio outputs, AMX integrates seamlessly with virtually all DJ equipment for a mixing solution that’s as adaptable as it is full-featured.

Pro-Grade Interface
Serato DJ is an industry-leading program for digital DJ’ing. AMX comes with the full-version, letting you take advantage of precise, powerful audio manipulation in real-time.
Already have Serato DJ? AMX unlocks it, providing both a control surface and pro-grade audio interface - the perfect centerpiece to your mobile DJ setup.
DVS Upgrade Ready
AMX is a rock-solid, affordable interface that fuses analog feel with the convenience of digital music access, conveniently combining the best of both worlds in a compact, road-ready footprint.
AMX features two sets of conveniently located audio inputs, selectable as Line or Phono, to accept signals from Serato timecode vinyl - also known as Serato NoiseMap. This Digital Vinyl System (DVS) lets you DJ with your digital music collection, while maintaining the feel and action of a turntable+vinyl setup. AMX accepts the Serato NoiseMap signal from your turntables and instantly sends it Serato DJ over a USB connection. Until now, similar systems were complex and cost-prohibitive.
- Serato DVS Expansion Pack and timecode vinyl are sold separately
- Connect Turntables or CDJs to AMX and integrate your existing DJ equiptment

I've had this for years and finally gave it a review. Just upgraded to the NUMARK NTX1000s a step above the PT-01 scratch turntables. Huge difference. Audio circuitry and sound are superb. If you use Virtual dj like I do with a ddj SB2 or SB3 but wanted to use time control in the future without paying what RANE charge then this is perfect. I bridge my controller and set time code through this mixer. Gives me 2 crossfaders to cut standard and reverse. Plus you can use the effects on your controller. Any questions can be asked here: FB/djCHOZiN1
Pros= price!!!! About 450 for both; excellent serato control; touch feature; lightweight, sturdy and portable.
Cons= input for each channel is a revolving knob so there is no way to see your actual input level. Took some getting used but not a biggie. Depth of the units are way too shallow, I ordered some custom stands for mine and they sit beautifully but have yet to figure out a flight case. Can not work as a stand alone mixer. You have ro purchse the DVS upgrade.
Overall the AMX and AFX together is a steal. It has tons of feature to personalize your mix. Though I have not used a rane 62 or djm s9, but i do have a ddjsx2 and a djm 900 and I prefer the AMX and AFX because of its superior controlability of serato dj.
Inputs and output seem solid, no buzzing or reduction in quality here.
