R.I.P. Pioneer Djm-600
I was standing my mixer up while I was plugging all the cables into it...and I turned to pick something up and just then my mixer decided to bungee jump off my table. 3 feet high! Just before hitting the ground, the power cord tightened saving the mixer from the collision with the floor. 4 inches of cord was yanked out from the back panel of the mixer...and the plastic that kept the cord in place was yanked out as well and in pieces. Knobs flew everywhere. I gathered a channel 3 gain knob, a channel 1 bass knob, and a channel 4 mid knob. I was completely devasted. I plugged the power cord back into the outlet and turned on the mixer...
No lights came on. It's over.
600, it was a good run for the nearly 2 years we rocked parties all over town. You were there for me through all the hard times. You were there for me when I changed from a trance dj to a house dj. You have been used by dj's such as DJ Rap, M3, DJ Dan, Dave Aude, Max Cheddar, Bas & Clovis, and almost all local dj's in Santa Barbara. You were there for my transition from vinyl to digital. Its going to be hard to say goodbye.
I cant do this anymore. I have to go...

Call up pioneer and tell them about their faulty products 
Maybe it was a sign from (instert name of higher being) that its time for an upgrade.

Here's a fun noob comment.. 
Reading on the internet, you often will think something is pronounced the way you say it. Little do you know it's pronounced differently.
Ecler was one for me. Anyway, none of my mates have an Xone, having said that none of them have a set up full stop
So i'm wondering, is it pronounced, X- ONE... or Xone (sounds like Zone)..
That is all

| Originally posted by RJT If I ever decided to upgrade to a 92 though, it'd be all about the rotary. The faders on Xone 92's feel like childrens play toys. |
I think I'd get an 800 over a 92 after the time I've logged on my 500. I really oughta check out a 92, unfortunately no one I know has one and they don't have one at any stores around me that I could jam out on. I can only imagine how incredible the 800 is
Sorry to hear about your 600 though.
Why not just fix it?
I say Zone aswell.
I say zone.
come on man, if it's just the powercord ripped out then just bring it to an electronic repair guy. There's proberbly nothing wrong. if you decide not to, then do send it to me! I'll even pay the shipping!
djm for life
get an 800
no mixer I know can take more of a beating and still work just fine. my 500 has lived a good life but I'm not ready to retire it yet.
but yeah. if just the powercord was ripped out it should be fixable.
Uh-oh...
Xone vs. DJM flame-war #23,507,643,987,542,636,982,037,423.14
what about all the loose pieces inside that i hear shaking around when i turn the mixer upside down?
Hey, dont count it out just yet, take it to an electronics reapair store and get an estemate. Or if you know anything about soddering have a crack at it yourself. Call pioneer up and see if they can get you what you need in the way of repair parts. Never know, might work.
Peace

If they spaced them out a little more then the mixer would be perfect. |
