the X1500 is MILES ahead of the DJM600 these days.. The 600 is good, but really outdated these days compared to the Nuo5, X1500..

The update has fixed numerous issues with the 1500. and it is my favorite mixer to date. Sound quality is much better than the 600, even if the 600 still getting used at Massives.

The 600 just doesn't really compete these days, ESPECIALLY at the cost it still at.

The 600 has nothing on the x1500... the 1500's sound quality is so much better. I ended up getting the 1500 because it was what i could do the most with i.e. the seperate sampler (so you can take a sample and effect it, something the 600 can't being one or the other), the channel input matrix (so you can run your sources from what ever channel you want by turning the dial) and just the all round build and tightness of the faders on the 1500

its hardly any competition.. the 600 is long dead and gone

x1500 all the way

i own one,and the thing is built top notch, like a tank. Sound quality is great,there really isnt a battle here, the 600 is so outdated that for its price its a laugh.

ok, well I'm gonna have to disagree with everyone so far. I used to have a DJM 600 and loved it. People keep commenting on the sound quality, but I honestly don't think that most people can tell a difference, especially considering most peopel only get to hear how certain mixers perform in bedrooms. Like you can tell that the Denon sounds better than the Pioneer on boom box speakers or affordable monitors. I own a Xone 92 and can't tell the difference in soudn between it and the DJM. And it ain't liek you can compated club installed versions of each, because no clubs use the Denon as a main mixer like they do the Pioneer all over the world. In terms of the Denon, I played with it and remember there being a considerable delay on the up faders which is annoying. And I don't really find much use for half the effects and the nifty little "tube display" that it boasts. The Pioneer, IMO is much better laid out, and has a much more comfortable feel to it. I think the Denon feels and looks kinds of cheap to tell you the truth....with that two tone black finish and bright ass flashing lights and buttons. My vote goes for the DJM.

� totally agree w�th you mate , �n djm 600 the tap button owns but �n dnx 1500 the tap button �s for mesur�ng bpm and lead�ng u �nto the menus and �ts too complicated , echo �s fixed by last update but when u turn off the echo effect its not turned off ... they fixed it but there are many bugs in the dnx
well all the clubs choose djm 600 and im not a dj who play out it the clubs but i really like the looj of 600 (oldskool) the dnx is way too digitalized and got no ground input for tt's (couldnt see on the back of the mixer)

i'll order these mixers from germany the price is same think so about 700 � (dunno excaltly the site is down)

waitin new comments from djm and dnx users

tnx for answers guys btw sorry bout my bad english

First of all, it does have ground screws. You can see them if you search for it at googles imagesearch.
They are specified in the manual by the way, DNX-1500 manual

Secondly, dont mention bugs that have been fixed because they dont matter anymore. They are fixed, so they wont
interfere with operating the mixer.

I personally would go for the DNX-1500 (having a Behringer X700 now) because it is state of the art compared to the
DJM-600. Really, if you could choose between a mixer that is known for bad sound quality OR a mixer with good sound quality, would you
take the one with the suckier quality?
Just becuase its in clubs?

Well mate, denon's effects are weird , and the leds (eq) not sensitive as djm's got many questions in my mind bout this mixer

it have an usb next future denon will release a jog dial for controlling effects (like efx) but still dunno what to buy as u can see the -'s of dnx below .. and the tap button ?!! wtf i only can control the effect by parameters in dnx that sux mate...

can you (or anyone for that matter) explain this statement? about the djm600 being known for poor sound quality? is there proof of this? evidence?

This is ofcourse rather hard to "prove" to you, mainly because of two reasons. One, i dont think you will approve of
me posting link after link after link of people who says they have used/owned a DJM-600 but switched to say a A&H Xone
becuase of distortion, low quality components and so on but i dont think thats gonna cut it for you.

Two, the DJM is too old to have been compared to any new mixers such as the DJX-1500. If the DJX-1500 gets a 9/10 and the
DJM-600 also got a 9/10 it doesnt mean they are equally good (or bad) because of the mere age of the DJM.
However, i dont own a DJM-600 but i am switching mixer next month and reading lots of peoples comments about them beeing
dissapointed in the sound and build quality of the mixer doesnt make me say "hey, lets get a djm-600, so many clubs have one!"

But i dont think you can hear the difference that good on a low end sound system, but why get a mixer that you know
has bad quality when you can get better?

webbie u work at denon ?

haha, no, i wouldnt mind tho.

We all read up on things and get a favourite, min is the 1500 altho as written, the Nuo5 looks really sharp too.

I have used both and own the X1500. Its a great mixer for a great price thar really can't be beat. Buy it.

I have a DJM 600 and have had it about a month and I love it to bits, was a descision between the xone 62 and this for me. The Denons just dont seem to be as popular here in the UK - the NUO-5 was recommended more highly than X1500 when I came to buying mine.

If you can read up on them all much as you can this will help, but you need to try them out for yourself. Heres a good shop with reviews of mixers and they are from people who actually bought and own the mixers-

DJM 600
DJM 600S
DNX 1500

The update fixed the delay. And the X1500 has a digital out, which sounds loads cleaner than the shoddy Pioneer mixer.

my mate gibbo recently bought the 1500 and i have to admit it pisses all over the djm.

only faults to the djm are:

no fast increase/decrease of effect timings (or at least we have foudn it)
non-chunking eq knobs

otherwise its mint, my fave things are

lots of effects, controllable filters
loose volume faders, like crossfader loose so u can cut etc.

i always thought this was bullshit when i used both an allen and heath 62 and a djm 600 and they just sounded the same to me, but when you use a denon you hear a much much cleaner sound coming through your headphones

Having played on both extensively I would seriously recommend going for the Denon. The Pioneer is a superb mixer and has had its day, but it is now starting to look a little long in the teeth. The Denon is superb and has an array of unique features which allow for massive creativity in the mix.

everyone still buys techs right?

i would believe technics are just a bit of a difference then mixers. But in reality its more of what the media tells and shows us to buy. For instance,all the clubs and DJ interviews. Their choices for favorite mixer. People dont look at quality now and dont take the time to research things. Its more of a popularity choice for people now. I mean clubs dont really take the time to choose different equip. because of what they have now. Denon is still my choice,a lot more comfortable than the pioneer. The digital screen does add in to the heating, but its a lot more organized in my opinion. A digital out also adds into the clearer sound quality, Two tone colors..always a plus. Better pricetag for a better product. My two cents.

Well that would be more accurate if the Techs came with preinstalled and not exchangeable stylus cartridges.
But they dont, you can switch that as you wish and therefor changing and enhancing the way your music sounds.
But with a mixer you cant do that, you cant alter the way it outputs it sound.

i suppose, but there a tables out there which are a lot better than the techs in so many ways, and i bet if they were given the abuse a tech was, a lot of them would last a while, namely the stantons.

I recently bought a DJM600, and I was also considering a X1500. I found the DJM600 brand new for 200$ less than the X1500. That sealed the deal. Now I'm in the market for a pair of CDJ800s.
