Epsilon Inno-Propak — decks and a mini Innofader mixer

epsilon Pro Innopropak

Everyone has to start somewhere. This is true for DJs taking the first tentative steps into DJing, and for those staking their claim for some market share in the DJ industry. First making a blip on the radar at NAMM 2014, US-based Epsilon-Pro specialises in cost-effective sound and light solutions, and has announced the Inno-Propak, a bundle containing a pair of DJT-1300 turntables and a mini-Innofader equipped INNO-MIX 2 mixer for $799. And it comes in black and white too.

First the words:

EPSILON ANNOUNCES THE INNO-PROPAK

Montebello, CA (August 26, 2014) – Epsilon-Pro announces a complete DJ turntable package consisting of two DJT-1300 turntables and the INNO-MIX 2, a 2-channel DJ mixer.

“The INNO-PROPAK features all of the tools every true professional Scratch DJ is looking for including; iNNO-Fader Cross-Fader with Reverse, TRS Balance Master Outputs, Kill Switches and 2- High Torque 3.5kg Direct Drive Battle Style USB Turntables” said Epsilon General Manager Phil Lentini.   “The Analog/Digital capabilities, coupled with the high-quality design features of both the DJT-1300 and the INNO-MIX 2, delivers uncompromised performance at a unprecedented price“- Lentini added.

  • 3 band EQ with 100% kill for high, mid and low

The INNO-PROPAK is currently available in black or white for $799.99. For more information visit www.epsilon-pro.com.

$800 for a very capable scratch setup — that’s not too shabby. DJ Ricky Jay certainly shows off the setup in the above video. The DJT-1300 is super OEM manufacturer Hanpin’s funkier take on the turntable market. I’ve used other manufacturer’s versions and really like them. The INNO-MIX 2 is new to me though — I thought that DJ Tech’s DIF-1S was the only budget mixer with a mini Innofader, so I’m expecting good things from this mixer.

Being a new US-based company, I’m not too clear about getting Epsilon gear elsewhere, but if you want more info, drop by the Epsilon-Pro site. They’re definitely one to keep an eye on.

  2. No matter what the target audience, IMHO the Epsilon setup is not good value for money. Everything screams “beginner” and “budget”, but there worst part is that for a fairly similar money one could get, say, pair of Audio Technica AT-LP120 decks and Allen & Heath Xone:23 mixer.

    1. can’t say I agree with you here :(
      well-made is well-made, and trust me most of the products out there are over-priced, and many are over-priced and poorly made (see NI S series) The success of Epsilon, and it WILL be successful, is going to be a wake-up call to the bigger players that the time has come to provide value to their consumers, and as Epsilon has done, to provide some style, too :)

    2. don’t know about the build quality but I agree on the pricepoint/value. you can easily pickup a pair of 1200s and a decent analog mixer for around the same price.

      also, these look very similar to the gemini TT-2000. i wonder if they are a rebrand/retool of some previous model.

      regardless, i am happy to see more turntables on the market.

    3. the Audio Technica AT-LP120 is a bad deck, motor is weaker than the 12 and for scarxtging it skips faster due to the cheap tonearm so i would say these OEM decks are much better and they are build for scratching

  4. I took a look at their website and they have a very interesting range … I’d like to know about the KRK clones they have. Not sure if I’d buy a OEM TT from them, but some cheap monitors would be nice.
