hehe, fine fine, city dump it is 
bought it last year hoping its a nice "DJM600" , well .. it didnt exactly was like it...actually theres nothing to compare between them (except maybe they looks the same in first sight....)
anyway, few months and i sold it to one guy and bought a brand new real djm600 
conclusion
save money for the real thing, dont go cheap
a couple of things. just my humble opinion of course.
1) NEVER buy any equipment without trying it first. something can have great specs on paper but you may hate it in operation - the way its laid out or the 'feel' of it. its important to get the feel right because you are gonna be using this for a long time. it has to feel right. if it doesnt. dont buy it. it will only get worse having to work with something for long periods of time that you find is is confusing, illogical, difficult to use or simply if you just plain dont like it.
2) DJ mixer effects will never sound as good as dedicated external effects units. period. dont expect lexicon reverbs especially from...
3) a 5 channel mixer with effects for 200 dollars. nuff said. there are 2 ways you can take this that dont really require that much knowledge of business and consumerism. 200 dollars is peanuts for what you get here. but. by extension, if they provide this many features for peanuts you should know something is up. if it sounds too good to be true - it probably is. which is why you should tatoo point 1 on the inside of your eyelids so you can soak it up in your sleep every minute of every night and every time you blink during the day.
4) those behringer guys were honest in their reply. i respect that. they didnt try to fucck you over or fob you off with excuses or mislead you. and best of all, they didnt try to sell you one of their more expensive mixers. i had experience with several tech support staff that are more salesmen than technicians. you will now never make the same mistake again.

Are all Behringer products that bad? I've been hearing problems with this particular mixer, but I have heard raving reviews on some of their other products, such as their power amps.
The Behringer mixing console that we use at our radio station is utter crap. When I connect my DJM-600 to one of the inputsusing RCA to single stereo 1/4" the sound on a certain turntable is all messed up. When I insert the jack halfway or semi-halfway, it sounds fine. Other times I would lose sound on one of the TT's altogether.
Hello all,
I�m recently bought an djx700... mistake?
witch mixer I buy?
Numark DXM01USB? Matrix 3?
Vestax?
Stanton?
Technics?
DJM300?
Tks
i own one of these piece of shits too CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF IT. The faders are starting to die on me already and its only been 1 year with very limited use. No matter whut anyone tells you, the sound quality on this thing is absolute shit. end of story. i would have rather spent big money on a high end mixer than deal with this piece of crap which will prolly get replaced anyhow. big waste of 200 dollars. Mixer is the one place where you should not skimp out on.

In response to whoever asked if all Behringer products suck, I've been very happy with my VMX-300. The sounds quality isn't all that great, but the fact that the eqs can cut up to 32db is awesome. The bpm counters are a total waste, but hey, for $170, it's a great mixer. So, no, not all Behringer products suck.
I am happy with my DJX-700...except the efx as mentioned in this thread. The faders are ok and EQ is ok. Maybe you people just want everything perfect down to the little spot coz your all a bunch of whiney bitches when it comes to dj equipment 
$200 is well worth the DJX700
Oh and for good sound quality, turn the surround sound effect up to about 3/4 and it's the same as everything else i've ever heard

| Originally posted by wee_rooney im pissed off cos i was going to buy a 2 channel numark with the built in kaoss pad for about �10 more than the djx700, but the stupid little f*ck in the shop talked me into buying this!!! fair enough its got 4 channels, but thats its only good point! for �200 you could have a mixer that is 10x better than the djx. its efx are sh*t, its sound quality is about the worst i have ever heard ... EVER! and the faders are terrible too! i was very surprised that it was as bad though, because i have had a go on a couple of different behringer mixers and they were pretty good. imo. |
I think the biggest issue is the fact that Behringer - a big audio company, put out a unit with so many 'features' that perform so poorly.
Why would a company in an industry were reputation is so important carbon copy the industry leader (DJM 600 - argue among yourselves) of a product and make the unit so poorly? I'll tell you why - Behringer doesn't give a crap about the bedroom DJ market. They thought 'We'll put this thing out there, get an initial bump in sales, then when people start to realize it's crap we'll stop making them' I just wonder how long the DJM 700 will continue to be built. They've already cut prices by 50% on all their DJ mixers. Can you say 'inventory liquidation'.
Its true - you can't believe that a $200 or $300 mixer will work the same as a $1000 or $1200 mixer, but when a company like Behringer puts their name on a product you expect some sort of quality.
They screwed themselves - is there one person who has read this thread that would actually buy one of these units today (or any Behringer mixer)? If so you're more stupid then me because I had no one's opinion to reference when I bought this thing.
Were my expectation of this unit unrealistic? Yes. Did I think Behringer was a solid product before I purchased this? Yes.
Take it for what's worth. I'm going to find my old Stanton SMX 201.
That's my rant for the day.
I totally agree... Maybe bump up the price a couple of hundred dollars, put in quality components, and tweak it and now you have a quality mixer.
I am still going to purchase Behringer products, just not their mixers.
