WARNING: Behringer DJX 700

Recently I received an email from the engineers at Behringer regarding their DJX 700 mixer that I would like to share with all of you.


----------------
Thanks for helping me out with this issue, as it's really important to me.

The main problem I'm having with the DJX-700 is with the effects. Whenever I want to use the preset effect, I set the effects source knob to Master and keep the the effects level down low. I turn the effects button on and when I want the effects to come in I turn the effects level up. When I pass half-way on the effect level I can barely hear the effect; even after 3/4 of the way up to max I can still barely hear the effects; then if I turn it up any higher, the effects distort the music and the master levels increase dramatically causing distortion.

This happens especially, but not exclusively, with the flanger (preset 40).

Everything else about this mixer is perfect, except for the effects; the flanger doesn't sound clear and always distorts the music playing.

A friend of mine even had the exact same problem with this mixer. He had a DJX-700 himself and was disappointed with the effects processor as well.

Please help me out with this problem; you can contact me during the day (8am-5pm est) at *phone number removed*... or in the evenings at *number removed*. Thank you for taking the time to assist me on this matter.

Sincerely,

David Stephens

Hello Dave,
An answer to your question concerning DJX700 FX use (that you posed to Chris Gomez earlier) was forwarded to me. The engineers confirm that this is normal performance of the FX on the mixer, and suggest use of an external effect unit (like our DSP2024P) in the FX loop on the mixer if it doesn't provide the type of effect (or level) that is to your liking, or to consider trying a different mixer for this purpose.
Best Regards,
Richard

So all in all, don't get this mixer... because so many have been fooled by what's on paper.

so they are telling you that they fully know that its shit, and to buy another mixer?

lol.

this is exactly why i run around this forum saying "no behringer!!". people, heed this and learn the lessons before making the mistakes.

sticky this thread =)

as a DJX700 owner myself I have to concur....

sh1t effects....

not bad for a cheap mixer though, I got mine brand new for under �150

eh.. behringer! they're good for one thing: the MDX2200.

the mdx2200, for the price, is a great little compressor/limiter.

most thier stuff is horrid.

its $200 what do you expect? its a Ford not a Cadillac

more like a Robin Reliant

i f**king hate mine! cant wait to get another mixer so's i can dropkick it into the f**king river!!!

Behringer is crap, but that new effects unit they have coming out actually looks promising.

I've heard that there studio mixers are pretty good, its only there DJ mixers that can be really bad.

yeah their studio equipment (as in mixers, eq's, and some of their sound processing modules) is really good. they just seem to think that the same components can put up with the hammer that us DJ's give it.

phat chance.

well, at least they didnt lie to you

DJX 700 is the worst mixer ever. I use to own one till this past Monday when I got my DJM 600. The upfaders on the behringer are horrible, no volume change from 0-8, effects wack, EQ wack, everything is wack. You can't imagine the relief and satisfaction I got when I got the DJM 600.

It's like im reborn all over again

The only good use for it is what wee_rooney said, to drop-kick it

I have never seen a promesing review on the djx-700 it feels filthy and cheap to play with and the sound quality is terrible... the faders die after a short while

...Down with beringer

Ok i have had LOTS of dealings with Behringer products in the studios at my school. THEY FUCKING SUCK.....ANYTHING BY BEHRINGER FUCKIGN SUCKS!!!!!

I don't know about that. Their marketing info makes it sound like it's all that...

"Your crowd will be astounded by the 47 breathtaking digital effect presets in 24-bit quality: delay, reverb, flanger, filter, panner, ultrabass, exciter, Vinylizer, voice changer and more. Your audience will be astounded, but they�ll never have to know your secret."

Yeah the secret is that your running the new Pioneer EFX 1000.

the studio EQ's are mint. as are the studio mixers, what kit were you using, and how old was it?

Ill be following you on that path sometime soon, should all get together and toss our DJX-700 into a bon fire or something. ahh good times..

be warned, if you plan on throwing a mixer out of the window more than once, be careful the second time around, as there are very sharp edges on them...

i still have scars.

From my experiences, some studio products are great while others just suck. I've had pretty good luck w/ their euroracks.

Hey no doubt its crappy but its only 200 USD.. anyways my point is, do research on the product before making a purchase. I mean read up on it like hell.. ask for user opinions etc.. use these forums n stuff..

I bought the DJX fully knowing how crap it was and all its flaws with it as well.. mainly coz I could spend the rest of my dough on records n stuff. Its the cheapest piece of shit around man and I still think its a bargain lol.

To me its just a toy mixer with all the basic functions and a good layout, and though the sound quality isn't all that good, it works good enough for bedroom use.

my 2 cents

cheersSss
=)

so everyone says its crap...
but is it worth the $200?
would it be good for bedroom use only?
I'm just a bedroom DJ and wouldnt mind buying this product but it seems like you all REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hate it. haha

I have one of these 700's. My current plan is to sell it to someone I don't like.

The faders on this thing are awful, they don't pick up anything until around 7 or 8. All the comments about the F/X being garbage are all true (the volume goes up and down - wild).

In a month or two I hope to be getting rid of my 700 and replacing it with a Vestax PCV 275.


Avoid the Behringer DJX 700 - it will break your heart.
