I was just about to ask if anybody have tried this mixer. Besides the humming, what are your overall opinions about this mixer?

in which aspects is the DJX-700 worse than the DJM-600?

As a student I can't really afford a DJM-600 right now, and my shitty numark DM-3002X is just pure SHIT.

Don't take me too seriously.

i really like my djx-700. i'm really getting used to the knobs and faders now so when i use my friends djm-500, i don't feel like i'm in a foreign land. don't get me wrong, i wish i had a 500, but this mixer suits me fine for now.

So is the cause of the humming the wiring in your homes and not the mixer itself?
What about any crackling sounds coming from the faders? Anyone?

ive the feeling that the headphone output has a little delay on the master about a few milliseconds...when the songs perfectly match in the headfone and i begin to mix its not fitting anymoreive to pitch bend the other track a bit and then it works..i think theres a small delay from the master to the headfones

stiffmaster: well the case is this, either you listen to both songs cued in your phones and then a delay won't do any difference or you have a cue in your phones and you hear the other song from the speakers...

it doesn't matter how good your mixer is, there will always be a little almost unnoticeable delay between the speaker and your ear so it all boils down to how good your ears are

I experience the delay a lot because my hearing is not the best (tinnitus and a slight hearingdamage on one ear) but I've learned how it should sound when the tracks are matched and on top of that I always doublecheck it by cueing both tracks just in case

hey all, this is the response i received on my mixer

Hello David,
Thanks for writing! Sorry for the delayed response... Check out the following notes, and let me know what you think:

Noise can come from a number of places in an audio system. First solution, gain staging. Make sure you have correctly adjusted the in/out gains of each component in the system to maximize signal to noise ratio. EXAMPLE: You don't want to crank the output stage and have the input gain way too low. The result from this will be unwanted noise. Most units will have a "unity" setting for gain controls, which is the optimal setting for S/N ratio for that unit. Set your levels here, and when increased volume is needed, boost at the channel gain first. You usually want the channel stage to be boosted higher than the output stage for best clarity.

Second solution, cabling. You need to use good-quality cable (shielded if possible) that is of the correct impedance (low z or high z) for the application. When using unbalanced cables, you want to make sure that you keep your cable run as short as possible due to the fact that these cables send signal on the ground. This increases the noise (and decreases S/N ratio) the further the signal has to travel. For long cable runs 15' and longer, balanced cable is recommended. The shielding will keep unwanted interference (radio waves etc) from being induced into the signal path. This can also help cut unwanted noise.

Third solution, your electricity: When you are using multiple units with different ground connection paths, you can run into ground loops. There are ways to get through this, the simplest being the use of a direct box with a ground lift switch (Our DI100 retail $59) or ground lift plug. This will kill the loop and the interference (noise) between the two conflicting units. There can actually be ground loops inside the unit itself (this would be a defect and would require the services of a qualified technician).

If you can narrow down your noise source to one of the aforementioned problem areas, you can make your life a lot easier. Give this trouble-shooting method a try, and if none of these methods helps your problem, you may have a faulty unit. If this is the case, contact our Behringer USA Customer Support team for details on having your unit repaired.

no noise yet...

when i first got it there was a hum, but then i made sure that the ground wires for e/ turntable was grounded in the channel it was using, and that got rid of it. don't know if that mattered or not, i don't know anything about electricity, but i have no hum.
