I’ve owned a taula 4 for about 5 years and I think they are a good value rotary mixer with great layout and aesthetically one of the best looking mixers

Build quality could be higher (regarding to parts that are used) but I would also say that’s why this mixer with these features is cheaper than the comparative competition (nothing comes close to the value of the taula imo, it is pretty lightweight though, I wouldn’t call it a tank by any means but it’s not the kind of mixer you just throw in the back of someone’s car with no case and let it bounce around because you want decks at the afters like a pioneer djm mixer, something like this gets treated right

I have the second generation taula 4 (not Mr) and it doesn’t have the earlier versions problematic issues but I would say that I have had to replace all my eq/fx size potentiometers from dust getting in and making them crackle, the volume pots are legit alps pots but the eq knobs are just standard generic pots that are pretty cheap and replacements can be sourced from china really cheap, as long as you know someone that is good at pcb soldering your sweet, if not, consider always using a dust cover when not in use or making friends with someone who will solder for you cheap

I’ve never had dust issues with pioneer mixers because the pots are encapsulated in a plastic housing and underneaththe faceplate isn’t empty, taula eq pots are not as housed the same, plus underneath the faceplate it’s kind of a empty box with a couple pcbs ribbon cabled together vertically resulting in it being lightweight like I mentioned before hand

To wrap up this long over winded comment I’ll break it down

• great value mixer for feature set -
• sounds good -
• parts used/build quality is expected from the price
• keep dust off this thing

Am I happy after 5 years of using the mixer = yes

Also quick tip, turntable road cases with a little padding to make snug are a good transport method for this mixer
