Vestax PMC-05proIV Mixer (Black) Unboxing & First Impressions Video

Here is a quick unboxing video of the Vestax PMC-05proIV Black Edition. We already reviewed the 05proIV when they first hit the DJ scene, but I just added a new Black Edition to my mixer collection earlier this week, so I thought I'd share the unboxing video with my fellow DJ's. I was personally getting a bit tired of the whole 4-deck controller craze and I almost purchased one myself until I finally decided to stay true to my Hip-Hop, 2-deck roots and purchase a mixer that I've always wanted. Check inside for the full unboxing and first impressions video!
