All connected leads included

£369 is the price Smile

So, you're gonna have a shot at DJ'ing too huh Smile

Cool. I think the Citronics are good beginners decks, but you might want to reconsider the mixer. It has only low/high cuts per channel. I think it's better to buy a mixer which has low/mid/high. But if you don't need that the VMX100 is good. I'm thinking of buying the VMX200 myself. It looks like a good mixer.

Good luck Smile

P.S. You can find really big pictures of the mixers at www.behringer.com

Dont bother, just go for the 1210's your mixing will come along alot faster with top decks.
