like i said, i like behringer's studio mixers but the fact of the matter is this... their dj mixers suck. the output sound is sub-par, their eq section is crap, their faders are crap and for the same price you can get a 2 or 3 channel numark that's much better. you can find a used vestax for the same price that will sound better. hell even a used gemini umx series mixer will cost less and sound a lot better. the problem is that it *is* a cheap knock off of the djm600 and the effects unit is absolutely useless and that's unacceptable. if you're going to spend the time and money to build an effects unit into a mixer why would you just put in a piece of crap? because your not trying to make a good mixer, you're trying to make a buck! all behringer dj mixers are cheap knock offs. the dx052 is a vestax knock off. the djx400 is a djm-300 knock off. the dx626 is a gemini ps626 knock off. their just crap. below is a list of mixer that while only have 2 channels still have 4 inputs (which i just fine for a bedroom setup). and lets be real, how many bedroom jocks actually need 4 full channels? this list of mixers not only sound better but they are the same price or less and are a much better value. this doesn't include higher end used mixers that you can find for a song.
tascam xs3 (you can buy a tascam for less!)
vestax pcv002u
ecler concept-2 (an ecler for god's sake!!)
numark dxm03
stanton sa3
stanton sk6f
now maybe if behringer would make the dj mixers they were capable of and come up with their own designs instead of knocking off everyone else's, put some decent faders and design a half way decent eq section then i would show them some respect. until that time however i'm going to tell it like it is. remember, this is coming from someone who actually likes behringer products so i'm not bashing them because they're "inexpensive", i'm bashing them because they deserve it. cheers.
