Behringer DJX-700 owners...

bla bla use the search use the search etc etc etc

none of that please. just wondering, the people who have BOUGHT
this mixer, used/abused it for a while, how is it holding up?

any breakdowns yet? deteriorations in sound? hows the overall
feel of it after you've given it some track time? was the $200US
investment something you now regret, or are you giggling like a
schoolgirl at the steal this mixer is? discuss please.

in case of breakdowns, please refrain from the "yeah im happy it
broke down because behringer sucks donkey penis" posts. no need
for that, whats the point? also, please refrain from "this will
be the death of the DJM600", no one is asking that. sorry, but
just trying to kill flames before they start...

It gets extremely fucking hot.. and the effects unit is not the best one out there... The DJX that my buddy has, is having these problems right now... it gets so hot that the effects unit goes all staticky. (sp)... and the back of the mixer gets so hot that you can't even touch it... This might just be a problem with his, but it is still an issue.. Other than that it is a sweet mixer... Great Faders, and crossfader... good sound quality on a home stereo setup...

Thats right, hes refering to my mixer, this is the second one I have owned, the first one, played up BIG time, I'm sure there was a gremlin inside, so I took it back and got this one, everything is awesome EXCEPT the dam effects unit, it worked fine at first for the first month, but now is playing up, I know you get what you pay for, but this is really bad, I'm sure its cos it heats up so much, the back and bottom of the mixer get super hot, and I think thats what makes it play up, so its not the effects unit really, I think its the power converter inside, or something else to do with power supply, I got told that there was such demand for the unit that Behringer decided to rush the orders and in a way put the mixer together rather crappy, I still love it, but I'm just not sure anymore, I will either take it back, and give it 1 more shot, or get the VMX300 instead, or save for awhile and either get the DJM-600 or an Ecler Smac40, I would prolly go for the DJM, cos I'm used to it and have been for along time (thats why I got the DJX), and basically love the DJM, if anybody has any overheating problems like mine please say so, I wanna know if its all the DJX line or just the first XXX amount, cos I would really like to keep this mixer.

Oh and one more thing, Behringer sucks donkey balls, and this will be the death of the DJM.

technically, thats ok, because i specified donkey penis
and the DJM600.

Hey bro, I've had it for over a month now and I've had absolutely no problems with it... yea the effects are garbage, mainly because in order to even hear the effect you need to turn the effect volume all the way up, and when you do that, the volume of the song itself goes up alot, which sucks donkey penis like you said. I never use the effects, but the faders (cross and up) are awesome and responsive, and so are the equalizers which I use alot... the kill switches I don't use as often as I thought I would for some reason, though they work fine and are precise in timing and everything else.

The 4 inputs are definitely a steal, I'm using 3 inputs as it is with 2 CDJs and my computer... sound quality is a perfect transition from anything else you listen to your music on. 200 bucks is a steal! Not as good as the DJM600 I imagine, but it's nice that it's a replica of it, if I ever go to a club with a DJM600, I'll know it like the top of my penis.

Thats good to hear that somebody's got one with no trouble, I've been testing out mine today, and before it got hot I tried the effects, without running any music into them, and all of the effects except the filters, are screwed, they come on with EXTREME static pumping through, its like when your TV is not tuned in and it just has that static sound, well pump that through my mixer and then play the effects, and thats what it sounds like, with JUST the mixer running, and its not even hot yet, so I will be taking it back, but I still dunno what I will do about either getting another or a replacement, cos I have to agree the rest of the mixer is a mega steal, it sounds good and has 4 inputs, with awesome EQs on each one, so I really dunno, the only thing that puts me off the VMX300 is those huge ugly beat match and assist buttons with the huge bpm display, I know the DJX has them, but there small buttons and have small displays, so its not as bad, well hopefully I will hear of some more good responces to the DJX after using it for along time, I ain't taking it back for about 5 days, so I got some time still to think about what to do.

AHHH crap, well you just wait till next time.......

The mixer is amazing. I do not regret my purchase at all.

Yes, it did get hot for the first little bit I had, but then I isolated it on my table away from everything else and it is cool as a...
Anyways, the FX are alright. Yes, on some of the FX the volume does indeed go up when you use them. I am starting to be able to change the gain in sync with the volume increase caused by the FX. That comes with time.
Remember, with the money you're saving on this mixer you can easily afford to buy a sampler to compete with other similar mixers and still have money to blow.

One thing I don't like about the mixer is the fader curve. I don't mean the crossfader, which is adjustable, but the individual channel faders. It seems that they work exponentially or something, you can't hear anything until at least 7, after which it's a huge increase.
Another thing I dislike is the layout of the channels. You can not have a turntable on the first channel as it is only line inputs. This is annoying for my setup of two decks and a dual cd player, because I can't have the dual cd players on the middle channel. It's trivial, but it's counter-intuitive to use if you're in a situation like me.

This mixer is top drawer, and worth every penny and more. It comes with a year warranty or something, and from what I hear the customer support with Behringer is superb. I would highly recommend this mixer, and it works perfectly except for the aforementioned trivial flaws.

Werd

I'm gettin some weird buzzing noise when there is nothing playing at all. Its not audible when music is playing loud but can be heard when the volume is down. I thought it was my needles but i'm starting to think its the DJX

I actually don't seem to have that problem, or maybe I don't notice it. I almost always have the trim at the lowest. I have the individual channel faders anywhere from just under 5 to max, and I don't really notice anything different. I keep the audible volume to ok levels with either the master fader or my ghetto ass speakers


and yeah, the djx gets hot... i use it as a "stereo" with a single cd deck, but stopped because I'm kinda scared about the heat after several hours of having it on.

since its my first mixer, I don't know if this is a problem or anything, but at least i know that other people's mixers get hot too

so man, what is the update on your situation?

anyone else, feel free to throw your problems/compliments/words of praise for Inertia
into play...

hmmmmmm, maybe overheating is a problem. Its impossible to get hold of one of these mixers in the UK and the demand is high. Apparently JAN 12th is when they'll be in but i was told December back in November. Maybe they are fixing problems such as overheating.

I've used a friends and the faders are shit hot, only the effects are the downside, but who needs them anyway, they are just for ppl who want to cover up there dodgy mixing :P j/k

Well nothing at the moment really, I been working alot so haven't had time to do anything, but I'm off on Monday, so I'm gonna try and do something then, still dunno exactly what I am gonna do, I think I'll give it one more try, or maybe let the mixer run for awhile at the store and if it heats up alot then I won't bother and will prolly get the VMX300, I'll be lucky if my head is straight to do this, cos on Sunday night I'm going to see Lisa Lashes and Judge Jules and its gonna be a storming night, I'm not in a mad rush, cos if I leave the effect on one of the filters (the effects won't be turned on, but if its set on any other effect the mixer starts to play up) then I can mix fine, from what Gandy said maybe I will see into the new shipment and find out if they have solved the heating problem, cos if I can get a this mixer to not play up I'll be so chuffed, but only time will tell, and I'll keep people updated on whats going on so it will help other people in the future.

GREAT mixer for entry level, mid-level. i've had mine for about 3 months now, and i've never had any problems with it. The only thing i can complain about is the effects unit, which really sucks. other than that, definitely go for this mixer, you wont be disaapointed.

*major bumpage*

just checking up to see whats the update on the situation with this mixer. anyone had any new problems rise up? anyone return theirs? have a friend who just acquired a pair of CDJ-1000Mk2's, will be getting vinyl decks sometime in the future, so a 4chan mixer would be nice. but after purchasing the cd decks, he has not much money left atm, and his old mixer died, so he is in the need to get a new one. anything anyone wanna say about the DJX700 now? anything new? was it infact a scam, or was it the deal of your lifetime?

I've had mine since the begining of October. I have had absolutely no problems with it. I have gotten a lot of hours of use out of it since I basically use it every day.

I have devices connected to all 4 input channels and have no problems mixing between any of them. There is no bleeding or static. While the effects are not the greatest, they sound just fine on mine, and I have played around with them a lot.

Mine gets warm, but never as hot as some people have reported in this thread. Thats probably something worth looking in too.

Overall, for the price, you can't beat it. It has a 1 year warranty, and the customer support is great. I love mine.

Mine does get warm a little. When I recorded to my computer, the sound quality was utter crap but that may be due to my needles and soundcard. Also the effects are pieces of shiet. ALl the effects pretty much sound the same. Other than that, it does hte job nicely. I just posted a mix in the amateur dj section using this very mixer.

i heard that the mixer was a cheap peice of shit. the quality of the wiring was poor. you get what you pay for

The effects channel bleeds at times...can be heard on the channel that it isnt selected for. Anyone experience this? Or maybe my unit is a defect.

Wow with all the complaints this mixer is getting, i'm lucky mine doesn't have any serious problems. In the future i plan on gettin an allen and heath. For something, cheap, i'd suggest stanton or numarks

ya know i really havnt seen all that many complaints about the mixer...other than the fact that the effects are obviously not as good as on the pioneer....

i havnt had any problems whatsoever with mine and im happy i made the purchase and saved the money for some extra vinyls....

its funny though how people say "i hear its a piece of shit, i hear it sux, you get what you pay for" and all that crap....of course saying this means 1. you dont have the mixer, 2. you dont know what your talking about, and 3. you can stfu

i've had mine for a while now (since october i think) and i have had no problems at all.

i don't think mine gets hot...but when i mix the only thing i touch on it are the faders and knobs, not the back of the thing.

the sound quality is very very good. when i record into my computer it sounds great (i do have an awesome soundcard and ortofon concordes though)

the effects are kind of useless, yeah. it's true that they aren't loud enough and when you use them and turn up the effects volume, the song is turned up. this is bad so i basically never use them.

anway the faders i found a bit tricky at first, you have to use a real gentle touch on them! but they are good! (i don't ever touch the xfader)

i only have 2 channels used (no cd dex) so maybe that's why mine doesn't get hot?

one issue i have is the levels, it will say the levels are the same on both your channels but when you listen to what you recorded it does't sound like that. or maybe i just need to check my levels by ear.

great mixer, i'm happy to have it. it works great for me!

i do have the mixer ludeboy. i don't like. but since you say its good then it MUST be cuz you know what youre talking about. right?

I've had the mixer for a couple months now.

No problems at all, I'd buy it again.
