Sound Quality check between djm 600 and 300

Just wondering for those who own a djm 300, how does the audio quality compare to that of a djm 600?

Thanks

i had a djm 300, i've never put the 300 beside the 600 in a direct test, but i can tell you that the 300 is only an average sounding mixer at best imo, 600 is much better from my experience as i've played on both on quite alot.

i had a djm-300 too and i didn't really find anything wrong with the sound on it at the time. then i bought a vestax pcv-175 because for some reason i didn't like the djm-300 and i also wanted a mixer where you don't hear the eq changes in the headphones. turns out one of the main reasons i didn't like the djm-300 was the sound quality. it just didn't sound any good compared to the vestax even. i found it much easier to mix on the vestax and it was easier on the ears too.

i actually own both a djm600 and a djm300, and ill tell u the sound quality is somewhat noticeably better on the 600, but the djm300 still gives a pretty decent quality, definitely not enough to bother the ears. in other words, the 600 slightly sounds better than the 300, but definitely not a significant difference IMO

Holy crap! I'm from glendale too (CSULB for dorm/college)

What about in terms of the headphone cueing, is there still a difference there too?

oo another one from glendale huh...nice nice

as far as the headphone queing, you shouldn't notice a difference in the actual sound qualities between the 300 and the 600, but one thing the 600 has that the 300 lacks is the knob that lets u contol how much you hear between what's playing in the headphones and what's playing on the master. On the djm300, it only gives it to u as 3 buttons: line 1, line 2, master....not a biggy for most people, shouldn't affect the quality of the mixes u do from it, but just thought i'd mention.

You should post more often on the west coast forum, you'd be surprised how many great LATA's there are!

Ah nice, yea I noticed especially with being a perfectionist like me...sound quality means everything, thanks for the replies!

supersaw2005 (AKA Infinity) is the man!

He was nice enough to let me barrow his djm300 before I got my 800.
And I agree with him the difference between the 300 & 600 is noting noticeable.

Hell yea, they are so cheap now a days....oh and sorry add BROKE sound perfectionist to that quote of mine

Pretty much I can get a good deal on either, just picking the lesser of two evils.
