when is the behringer djx700 released?

every site ive been on says coming soon, but doesnt say a date. even on the behringer website it says coming in the third quarter of 2003. does anyone here know an EXACT date that its getting released?

Nobody has an exact date, but stores and suppliers are boasting about availability in mid to late August. It looks to be a wikid mixer!! but I'm quite happy with my VMX300 just fine!!

Behringer mixers are very decently built.

I just bought one of these yesterday! I LOVE IT!

I had a DJM300s before (paid $279 for it new) and this is
way better IMHO.

I bought the 300 for $165 at local store. He even threw in a copy of Dirty Sticky Floor

Just feels better and smoother.

The VMX300 is made quite sturdy!... some of the knobs are looser than others, but it's no real performance problem. The sliders all have replaceable handles and the VU meters are great! The BPM counters however as usual are useless. For some reason Behringer just hasn't made that a solid feature yet. But it's an incredible mixer for the price. I'll be very happy with it for quite a while!!

The BIGGEST problem with this mixer (A HUGE OVERSIGHT ON PART OF BEHRINGER) is that you can not have more than 2 channels in the mix at once. There is NO 'thru' crossfader option! Only 1 channel selectable per A & B..... What's the point on having 4 channels??

Posted by clubsolutely on Aug-12-2003 21:47:

what do u mean... cant u leave the crossfader in the middle and play with the sliders only..?!

Posted by TwiloNYC on Aug-12-2003 21:52:

The A and B plots of the crossfader needs to be assigned to a channel. If you look at any other 4/5 channel mixers, you'd see a crossfader assign knob with channels 1, 2, 3, 4, or 'THRU'. "THRU" is where it assigns all channels to that side of the crossfader, which in effect lets you keep the crossfader in the middle and use the channel faders to mix in sounds from ALL channels. The DJX700 DOES NOT HAVE THIS, it is only assignable to channels 1 - 4 only... this means its just a fancy 2 channel mixer.

Posted by Martin McG on Aug-13-2003 00:02:

hardly a huge oversight as not many people mix more than 3 decks/cds at the same time!

although it would be nice it is not entirely essential

Posted by SgtFoo on Aug-13-2003 00:08:

Of course you can have more than 2 channels at once playing!!

Use the faders instead of the x-fader!!

Posted by JohnSmith on Aug-13-2003 00:21:

wow. what a stupid stupid oversight. what's the point of a 4 channel mixer if you can only play 2 at once? TwiloNYC is right, this means it is only really a two channel mixer.

It has 8 inputs, 3 phono, 3 line, and 2 cd (cd and line are the same thing though, i don't know why they would seperate them)
http://www.behringer.com//DJX700/djx700_rear.jpg

my 3 channel vestax has NINE inputs, 3 phono, and 6 line, and I can play 3 of them at once. not to mention 2 mic inputs, and the behringer only has one.

I was thinking of upgrading, but in light of that, i don't think that i will. the only benefits are the FX, beatcounters, and cheap price.

why would they not put that on, surely, it's got to be pretty easy electronically to just ignore the crossfader? like the DJM500/600 can do.

well, from what twiloNYC said, you can't..

but on second thought, maybe it's setup so that the channels selected on the crossfader use the fader, but the other channels are "live" all the time.

that's how it is on my vestax, and it would only make sense. I honestly can't see behringer leaving out the ability to play more than 2 sources at once, that must be how it is.

@TwiloNYC, have you actually used this mixer?

Posted by Unknown DJ on Aug-13-2003 02:05:

well i dont exactly plan on mixing more then 2 channels at once. whats the point on mixing like 4 chanels ato nce? it would b insanely hard and i cant really think of a decent benifit to it. so im still gona get it.

Posted by TwiloNYC on Aug-13-2003 03:02:

No I haven't used it. I was seriously considering upgrading to a four channel from my Pio DJM300 and the DJX700 seemed like a godsend. Incredibly affordable 4ch mixer that would rival $800+ units.

On 3 channel mixers I believe, the 3rd/Mic channel is ALWAYS live or atleast selectable. I really hope that that's the case with the DJX700!! But I think on 4ch mixers, it works differently.

I've read somewhere that it couldn't mix all the channels like other 4 ch mixers. So, to confirm this I went to Behringer's site and read all the documents available for the unit.... nothing about its ability to mix more than 2 channels at once (and by the looks of the x-fader selectors, it certainly backs that theory up).

Oh and big dave: the main reason for considering that mixer (upgrade from my 2 ch) is to have the ability to be more creative! I mean think of the possibilities: i got a dual cd deck + 2 tts. With it, I can have the cd on a beat loop, mixin a melody and drop in an acapella to virtually create my own song on the fly. And switching all the time btwn line/phone is such a bitch....

Posted by DennisF on Sep-04-2003 14:43:
