mixers

after experiencing the might of the Pioneer DJM-600 i am compelled to purchase a new mixer with more channels and FX and stuff..

just looking at cheaper alternatives because i cant afford a Pioneer at the momment...

one of the ones i came up with was the

Behringer Pro DJ Mixer DJX700

just wanted to know what quality of these are like and if they are worth purchasing or if they're just too shitty to bother with..

any advice would be great also, mnaybe some other possible reccomendations as far as mixers go..

save your money buy a rane.

best mixer money can buy. built like a tank and amazing sound quality.

but what makes these behringers so lower in $$$ then the pioneer..


like this is for home usage..

so is it still worthwhile getting?

i need something which is NO MORE EXPENSIVE then a
pioneer DJM-600

Behringer mixers are great, a friend of mine has had a behringer DX1000 for 2 years and its like new!

I would be that friend. I have a DX1000 which I use for all my main stuff (CDJ, DAT, Mini-Disc, CD Recorder, etc) and after being on for over 2 years non stop (24/7) it still is like brand new. Everything works great!

I also have a MXB1002 small Behringer mixer that I use for all my Behringer mics (which are great for the price).

My opinion on Behringer is that they make pretty good quality products that have never failed me, and they are priced right. $900 for a mixer is insane when all it has more is a sampler. Get a Dr Sample and a DJX-700 (at least thats what I may do).

P.S. If anyone is looking for a 2 channel Behringer mixer, I'm selling a brand new one, unopened and sealed in the box. PM me for details.

whats a dr. sample??

i just wonder whether the DJX-700 is better then the DJM300 that i have no.. and if so why, and if not why.

i dont know much about mixers!!!

Dr. Sample is a stand alone sampler unit. The DJX-700, which is a clone of the Pioneer DJM-600 doesnt have a sampler like the DJM-600. So if you really needed that, I've heard the Dr. Sample is good:

The DJM300 is 2 channel, DJX-700 is 5. DJX-700 has effects, DJM300 doesnt. DJX-700 is cheaper, DJM300 is more expensive.

there must be a reason for it

but yeh

i think ill go the behringer

I'd say the reason is somewhat similar to the reason that Gimp is free and Photoshop costs hundreds of dollars. You're paying for the name.

I'm not saying that Pioneer mixers arent good, I'm just saying that the main thing that drives the cost up is the name. A mixer with nearly the same features cant cost nearly as much as Pioneer is charging for it if Behringer can do it for so much less.

IMO ..Pioneer mixers are the worst in sound qaulity but best for features.

You must ask yourself whats more important; sound or features. You can not have the best of both worlds on a budget. Its like buying a new car..you cant expect to buy a truck but the perofmance of a sports coupe. Or buy the best beer at a store w/ $5.


I prefer sound quality above all else.

Thus I choose a Denon X-800 mixer when I was strapped for cash.

Once I got enough money I sold my denon and upgraded to Rane.

dude.... dont give this guy false information. search on TA forums and you will see how much djx-700 suck. the eqs are practically shit. the FX sound like crap. djm maybe not have really great sound quality but the eqs and fx are at least up to standard for its price. i tried the djx-700 that my friend had. and he sold it 2 days after he got it. it sucks. why is it so cheap? yes, cos it fucking sucks.

Behringer = Useless

hmm intersting topic can any1 tell me if the Stanton SMX-301 is any good ?

Sure, search on TA forums to find a bunch of topics probably written by people who just go along with the bias that Behringer sucks because someone said they do, and they just believe it.

You dont know. Just because your friend didnt like it doesnt mean it sucks.

Sure, the effects may not be that great, but running a trance internet radio station, I rarely ever hear the DJs use the effects on any of their mixers.

Right. Thats why all my equipment has been on for 2+ years, 24/7/365 and it still works just as good as the day I bought it. If you can save several hundred dollars for a mixer that works just fine, has just about the same features, and is durable (which I have proven by keeping all my equipment on 24/7), then I dont see how or why it's useless.

I'm not trying to start a flame war here, or be a dick, but please use the stuff before you rag on it.

It seems like you are the exception and not the rule. I hear endless stories about these things breaking down very quickly. The sound quality is also terrible on this. My buddy had his berringer for 7 months before it completely shit the bed.

If you dont have a grand to drop on a mixer get a vestax 275. sound quality is great, built like a tank, and will last you for a while.

this could be a very useful thread. I am also kinda lookin into new mixers as well. Right now I am using the Numark DM3002X. I fucking love this mixer!!! It doesn't have alot of effects to play with, but I know the friggin thing inside out! Now I'm getting alot of cracklingnoises, like dust buildup, but it's to the point where I can't even use my cross fader anymore.

So considering my Numark DM3002X, can anyone help point me in a direction that I might want to go with my next mixer? I've really only played on this mixer, anyone got any comparisons???

Well many people I have talked to about Behringer products say that they've worked just fine for them. I'm in no way saying that they're the best, but they certainly are worth every dime, and have withstood extreme conditions in my studio with all my equipment and 4 computers online 24/7 with the extreme heat and no a/c enviornment in the summber (this was when I first got my Behringer stuff. Now I have A/C in there and its still just fine. ).

As far as sound quality, the sound is only as good as the input device and it's medium (good vinyl press, good quality mp3's whatever). The mixer doesn't make something sound better. The Behringer mixers are equipped with long life faders as per their website, and the faders and sliders on my DX-1000 have no problems in a VERY dusty enviornment with a lot of dog hair in the air.

I haven't even used the DJX-700, so thats certainly not what my responses were about. I just wanted to state that how everyone rags on Behringer is not necesarialy true. Now if they screwed up the DJX-700 and I dont know about it, then thats something that I will find out in a month or so when I get mine. But my general purpose of posting here is to say, try before you buy. Dont rule a brand out because you've seen people talking about it badly, who probably havent even used any of their products themselves!

Bottom line. I'd say give it a try. I've had nothing but success, and out of 7 or 8 of the Behringer products I've had, none of them has ever had any problems...so I dont see how everything by them can be bad.

heh thats nice now how about answering to my question :P or no one had ever had such a mixer ??? if U didnt can some1 say if they heard anything about it or something ? pls ?
