has anyone used a bheringer DJX 700?

and what are the bad points about it, if any?

Sound quality is a lot worse than the original Pioneer DJM-600.

This has been discussed various times. The FX on the behringer are useless, sound quality isn't like on the 1000 dollar mixers, and... I think that's it for the bad points. Everything else works well, and it's a great buy for 200 dollars.

It breaks down. Theres a chance that you might get lucky, and have no problems, but theres a higher chance that it will be a waste of money. Besides, its not often that a person who NEEDS four channels will be looking into buying a cheap mixer. Buy a good 2 channel mixer.

Breaks down? I've had mine since October without any technical problems whatsoever. You don't own a DJX700, and judging by the title of the thread, you don't count.

Well i dont have the 700 but i own a behringer mixer, it was a allright mixer for starting it but there is problems such as leaking between channels and one of my phon lines cut out, but then again this is after a year and everything besides that works fine, theres some useless things such as the "surround sound" effect or whatever it is on it whcih dosent do anything as far as i can tell, but the eq's are great they have a good ammount of kill on each of em and the crossfader works well even though i use the y faders. anyways remember thats not on a 700 so it might not be as accurit

I own a Pioneer DJM-600k, which was an upgrade from DJX-700. The DJX-700 licks balls in terms of sound quality and crossfaders start leaking after a few months of using regularly...

Please do not tell me what i own, and what i dont own. I did own a behringer djx700 because i saw it, it was cheap, 4 channels, and effects. Took it back to the store at the end of the week because it sounded like shit, and the 3rd channel upfader wasnt working straight out of the box. Since then i strongly considered buying a vestax pcv 275, but instead have decided to wait to buy a dnx1500. (right now im borrowing a friends used djm 300 until i get the dnx1500.)

Its nice that you are happy with your purchase, but i think its more likely that youre fooling yourself, because you wouldnt want to think that you made a poor decision. If you honestly think its a good mixer, then thats great, thats your opinion. Just as my opinion is mine. Just dont tell me that i "dont count" because i wasnt fooled into beleiving that this mixer suited my needs.

- shit sound quality
- noticable channel leaking
- poor build quality / components which apparrantly often leads to component deteroration / failure
- gets very hot after a few hours use
- inprecise EQs
- useless effects unit (certain effects work at particular BPMs which you cannot alter, most of which are ~120-130 BPM)
- made in china

Pretty much sums it all up. 600 roxorz my boxorz.

my friend bought one for cheap parties...instead of beating on a pioneer mixer he has...it's absolute crap..you could tell the quality of the mixer by the actual weight when you compare the two...the pioneer is at least 3 to 4 times heavier than the beringer..there's a reason too...there's more instruments inside the pioneer for one...also,there is more accuracy with a pioneer mixer...especially the effects...all the effects on the beringer are not even usable or at least manageable..half the time, you cant tell what effect you're using cause its either too low or too distorted on the output..BUT if you're looking for a basic mixer with EQs...its not bad...bottomline..
you get is what you pay for

the x1500 (denon) is a good alternative. Its cheaper than the djm600, and better.

I bought the Beringer as a cheaper alternative to the the Pioneer... IMHO, both mixers are cheaply made... The difference is that the Beringer is $500 cheaper than the Pioneer... I think it's a great mixer to start on and as for the "useless" effects, well, that depends on how much you rely on them... The only problem I've had with mine is the number that each effect is... Which is eliminated by writing a "cheap sheet" sticky label on the mixer itself... As for the sound quality... Come on... Who the hell are you fooling?... The only way that is noticeable is in recording and a monstrous system... Both of which are irrelevant if you plan on hooking up in your fuckin' bedroom studio...

Overall, it's not bad for the money... You want superior quality, then spend superior money.. Otherwise, deal with what you got and enjoy mixing..

Well, see, the thing is that I have a monster sound system and I clearly noticed the difference in sound quality. Maybe both mixers are cheaply built, then in that case, the Behringer is a REAL piece of shit compared to the cheaply built Pioneer which is actually feeling really solid. It's heavier... meaning that it has better parts in it. It's also more durable. Just go to a club and see how much abuse the DJM-600 takes on a daily basis. The Behringer wouldn't last a month in a club environment like that. So if I were you, I wouldn't buy it. It's too cheaped out. Better get a 3-channel Numark cause they are a bit more solid.

My viewpoint regarding Behringer is pretty much as follows. They provide a very low cost product, to the extent where many of their mixers are almost "disposable" because of this. E.g. You buy a two channel mixer for $250 CND, and if it breaks a year or two later, no big deal, you just buy another one for a similar price, instead of buying a premium two channel mixer for, say, $500 CND.

This might not be the best attitude, but I think it's a good one to have when it comes to buying budget products. That said, I also would be unlikely to spend money on any of the higher end Behringer products, because I would want to pay the premium prices for a well respected product (i.e. Allen & Heath, Pioneer, etc.).

ste. its shit. end of.

don't get it. i presume you are looking at it because its an effect mixer? i read in the specs you can't alter the times of them...

whoever said the djm600 is built cheaply is wrong. its a very heavy duty mixer, they take a lot of hammer, and are built for use by clubs. you can't really put these two mixers in the same category IMO. but the sound quality could be better..

yeh the 600 roxors mine but its 4 times the price

im getting a stanton RM-3 now anyway, thanks for the info tho.

It's been said and I am gonna say it again. You get is what you pay for. If 600 was made cheap, it would break easily and features would have a shit quality (i.e. sound, effects, etc.).

3xx3r7 beat me to it, but you really get what you pay for.

Don't buy the rm3-s. It's crap too. I owned one for 6 months w/ nothing but problems. First it's lack of a cf cruve, second, it's really bad up-fader curve, third, it's horrible sound quality, forth, it's phono preamp died after 4 months of owning it.

After that i bought a smx-501, it's cf curve pot died and channel 1 VU LEDS died less than a WEEK of owning it. Pure junk too.

That's when i stopped dicking around and saved up for a Empath.

Well the channels on my DJX700 have started leaking. With that said, i sure as hel don't have enough money to blow on an a&h xone!!!!

I own a djx700. It's a great mixer to learn on, and great for the price. I don't understand why you people keep trying to compare it to a 1000$ mixers. All it takes is common sense to know that it's not top of the line. I've had mine since Januaryish, and i havn't had any problems with the faders. I use it regularly on my bedroom setup and i take it around with me to house parties. For the price, you can't complain.
