-- DJM 600 comparable mixers
DJM 600 comparable mixers
I'm thinking of selling my DJM 600 w/flight case because got them at a reasonable price. I know I can sell it for just as much, if not more, so I was wondering what mixers around the 700-800 dollar range were notable. I've looked into the Allen & Heaths, and the Ecler Nuos got great reviews.
How does the A&H 62 compare to the 32? Or the 92?
Thanks again!
I heard good things about numark fx5000 and its aroudn 500 range I think.
Anyone knows if sound quality compares? I heard the fx unit "can be sold on its own, its that good". How true is this statement?
The fx unit in it looks great though, you can sample a sound of playing audio source and scratch it (It has jog wheel on the mixer fx unit)
A TA named Ygrene has the Numark FX5000 I believe if you want to pm him for info.
Just stay with the DJM600. IMO, the Xone 62 has good sound quality but that's it. If you can, save up for the Xone 92. Now, that's worth. If you get rid of the 600, you're going to loose all the effects since the Xone's only have filters.

I have a 32 and I fucking love it!
The NUO5 is a good upgrade
Well, the effects on the 600 aren't really a concern of mine. I'm looking for a solid build and sound quality. Don't get me wrong, I have a luxury of eithre keeping a great mixer in the 600 or selling it and "upgrading" to something else. I thought about the Xone:92, and am willing to save up for it, but I'm not sure if I need that much punch...how is the 62 compared to the 92?
As far as the NuMark FX5000, I've never heard of that mixer, much less an effects processor that's good enough to be "sold on it's own"...how good can it be?
What about the Ecler Nuo line?
Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated!

The 62 is a bit old and the layout is rather weird, IMO. The 92 has a much better layout, but of course it costs a lot more money. Certainly a fantastic sounding mixer.
Other choices for sound/build:
Nuo 5
DJM-800 (played with one at Guitar Center, feels much better built than the 600, but not quite as solid as the Xone's).

I wouldnt call the Numark 5000fx an "upgrade" from a DJM-600 at all. Firstly, it *is* a Numark...which says plenty right there. I've played with one before, and it felt (and sounded) like a cheap toy. Its a great mixer if you cant afford a DJM or something better, dont get me wrong, but it would be a downgrade from a Pioneer.
The XONE mixers or NUO mixers would be a nice upgrade in sound quality, build quality, FX/filters and faders.

I've played with it for a few hours at a store last year when it first came out. It was hooked up to a CDX, so I tried out all of its effects, EQ's, sampler etc. I found the effects to be rather "digital" sounding...a lot of them seemed to be a little weird.
The x-fader was also pretty loose (like wobbly) and the mixer kept crackling if I tapped on the faceplate. Maybe it was an early version, I dunno...but it didnt seem very impressive to me. A lot of the guys on djforums.com also complained that the x-fader wore out after a few months.
Again, for $500 or less, its a steal...its got a lot of features for the money, and it does what it says. Its no peice of crap (like a Behringer!)...but its not in the same league as an A&H, ECLER, Rane or Pioneer....

Thanks again. I'm currently working out a deal for the Xone:92, and if I manage to snag one, I'll put up my 600 w/flight case for cheap if anybody wants it.
