Can the iM1 record a mix to my phone?

It records to a docked iPod through the 30-pin dock. Modern iPhones and Android phones need an adapter or a different recording path, and the dock will not charge or control them.

Does it work with a laptop or DJ software?

No. The iM1 has no USB connection and no software control, so it works only with analog line sources and a docked iPod.

What can I plug into it?

Two line-level sources such as CD players, turntables with line output or a docked iPod, plus one 1/4-inch microphone. Outputs are stereo RCA master and a 1/4-inch headphone jack.

Does it have effects or EQ?

There are no built-in effects. Each channel has EQ and there is a crossfader and channel faders for mixing.

Is it good for a beginner?

Yes, if you already use an older iPod and want a simple two-channel mixer. If you plan to mix from a laptop, a USB controller is a better fit.

Our take on the Numark iM1 2-Channel DJ Mixer with iPod Dock

The Numark iM1 is a compact two-channel DJ mixer built around a docked iPod. It records your mix straight to the iPod and adds a microphone input for MCs and announcers. It has two line inputs, a crossfader, channel faders and EQ, but no USB, no effects and no software control. It suits beginners and casual DJs who already carry an iPod and want a small tabletop setup; anyone mixing from a laptop or controller will find it dated and limited.
