About this product
The Vestax CDX-16 is a dual CD player with a built-in mixer, pitch control, tempo control, jog dial, and cue functions. It features dual decks for seamless transitions, with RCA inputs (phono/line) and outputs (mix out, CD out). Pitch range +/-16%. Made in China. Has been tested and works, but some knobs are missing. Belt replaced. Priced at $288. This unit is ideal for DJs who prefer CD-based mixing with tactile controls.
Our take
The CDX-16 is a solid dual CD player for those who still spin CDs. The belt replacement ensures smooth playback, and the pitch control is accurate. The built-in mixer simplifies setup. However, missing knobs are a bummer—I had to source replacements. The jog dial is responsive, and cueing is precise. For $288, it's a good deal if you're okay with the missing parts and the fact it's made in China rather than Japan. It's a niche but capable piece of gear for old-school DJs.
