-- which high end mixer?

which high end mixer?

denon,pioneer or the new technics?
or something else?
its gonna be for home use and i like fx....so no allen & heath for me :P

id get the new denon, or the ecler nuo 5 if i were u

If you like the DJM600, check out the Tascam X-9. i think i remember someone telling me that Tascam was made my Vestax so the audio quality should be much better than pioneer. plus it has 2 samplers instead of 1, and i think its a little cheaper. i almost bought this mixer when i was looking for one in the $1000 range, but now im just saving for my A&H xone 92.

I just bought the Denon DN-X1500 which should be here tomorrow or the day after so I can give you a review on it then. E-mail DJ Tranz for a hook-up on a mixer though. He can probably get a you a pretty good deal on whatever you're looking for.

yeah but i am in the uk mate

denon x400 is good mid-price mixer .

However, if you want the best ......

get the Rane MP44 Club Mixer. No other mixer can compete with the sound quality.

The best nightclubs in the United States carry Rane.

BTw, if you like effects get an external unit toufas. build-in effect destroy sound quality of the mixer. Check out the pioneer efx 500 and korg pad.

the cool thing about the rane MP44 is you have the ability to isolate the effects to one channel.

I have Korg kaoss Pad 2. Wicked toy.

I have bought alot of denon products in the past and have been happy with them. When I first started to DJ I had the denon DN -X800 mixer. Excellent mixer. Great sound qulaity for the price range. However, I upgraded my setup, sold the denon and got the Rane MP 44.

Please let us know what you think of the X1500. Im curious to know how the sound quality is on this denon mixer given that it has the built in effects unit.

BTW I tested the pioneer DJMs awhile ago because I wnated something that had everything in it ( mixer + effect). I was dissppointed to hear that the mids-hi sounded muffled. Not good imo for trance but OK for house and maybe techno.

you don't think a efx-500 kills sound quality? it's awful man. that's why they're coming out with the efx-1000.

Id go with the denon or the nuo5, probably the denon.

Will do. The only thing I'm worried about is the heat issue. Apparently this thing gets pretty toasty when it's working. Denon says this is normal but it's still a bit of a worry and since I'm putting it in a coffin I'm going to have to mod the foam to get some better airflow around the mixer. We shall see how it goes.

Give it a try anyways. I do know DJ Mart ships internationally so I know the shipping won't be a problem.

Absolutely correct. We do ship worldwide with a few exceptions, via UPS Worldwide, FedEx International, Bax Global or for smaller and less expensive items(due to insurance restrictions) we will occasionally use USPS Global Express. Just email me directly at:

Cheers...

thats a shame because you never replyed to me when i was looking for some gear.



if i was presented with a choice of any mixer, with no limit on money for my home setup, i would definitely go for the ecler nuo5.

check out www.decks.co.uk (sapphires) if you want to get it from this country, they are usually the cheapest. i usually get the sapphires price, then ring up jb's music and get them to beat it tho

please explain why? what features did u like about it when u used it?what made it stand out?

the effects are fantastic, the faders are beautiful, the usability of the entire thing in general really. sound quality is wicked too (24 bit digital)!

not to mention it has 4 phono inputs, which saves a lot of faff with preamps if you want to use 4 decks.

when compared to the others in the same bracket (apart from the denon x1500, i haven't used that but i've heard its bloody good apart from the lack of an update for the faders) its beats them down with a fuck-off great hammer. it has the best features of them all... the high sound quality and effect fader of the allen & heath, the versatility and fun of the djm600/3000, the usb connection and digital outputness of the denon. what more could you want?

you can even customise your effects parameters via the usb link + software you get with it.

nice! when i tried the smac 40 it did have some decent sound although i thought it wasn't made well.....

I hate Kaoss pads mk I... they are a heap of shit.

Cheers
Nem

damn... I post this a lot...

Try this. Built like an S-Class Mercedes, beautiful control of your FX via the flex-FX loop. Only (potential) drawback? 3 channels. Look at this seriously. And if you're serious about your sound quality, check out Pioneer's upgrade to the EFX500 - the EFX1000.

Cheers.

pricewise the denon looks more tempting but if i get more money i will go for the ecler

to be honest with you... you can do alot with the filters you get on Allen&Heath mixers. the Xone92 even has an LFO, which you can assign to a filter and create a flanging effect. But hey.. u don't want an Allen&Heath.... no problem... more for me

Originally posted by SgtFoo the Xone92 even has an LFO

as does the xone32.. and its cheaper

and sorry to be picky, but it doesn't create a flanging effect, a flanger is something entirely different

yeah the filters are fantastic on the allen & heaths, but there is also filters on the ecler nuo5 (both high pass + low pass) as well as an LFO, plus a shitload of other effects..

Dateqs are very good too!

the reason that i dont want an Allen and heath is that i dont have the sound equipment to recreate the quality it can offer....
atm i have a ghetto aiwa stereo with the numark ppd01
