Given that price is not an issue...OK under or around $1200 what is the best all around 19" mixer. DJM3000 right?

Features I would want:
-Seperate subwoofer output
-3 band kill switches
-preferably NO BPM unit (even though the 3000 has it)
-XLR outputs
-4 channels (+mic input = 5 channel)

I currently have the Behringer DJX700, but I've only had it for a few months and am already getting it serviced. I'm gonna service it and sell it to my friend for cheap. Their VMX-1000 has all the features I want, but I just dont trust it. The quality just isnt there, even though the price is great, I saw it for 180 on pssl.com

Anyway, let me know what you think!

hmm, i was thinkin about buyin the djm 3000. look at the tascam x-9 instead if you want effects. it comes with the rackmount adapters if you need it to be 19". personally i will have my xone :92 in a few weeks

Yeah that mixer looks mad comfortable, kinda like my 700, except much better quality. Im trying to stick this in a rack tho, so its gotta take up a lot less units than that one does.

lmao @ comparing a DJX700 to a Xone:92. That's gotta be blasphemy

i think he may have been talking about the x-9, at least i hope he was...

there is no comparison, the A&H is at the totally opposite end of the spectrum from the behringer

yeah i was talking about the x-9

I've had the djm-3000 for soon 4 months and I couldnt be happier with it. The effects are great and really adds a new dimension to mixing. Same goes for the beat effects (which differs it from the djm-600). It really adds unlimited creativity to your mix. However, the djm-3000 is based on rather old technology now and if I were you I'd look at the denon x-1500 though its not a 19". As far as 19" goes I'd say the very best one out there is the A&H V6, but at 4000USD it's in its own league. I know rane make some 19" club mixers but I'm not too familiar with them. Also Carl cox is realising his own signature mixer for vestex, the PMC-CX which seems to become one bad boy, but again I dont know much about it. Another quality 19" mixer would be the vestax R1 but as with the V6, this one also carries an extreme price tag at 2000pounds.
Alright, hope this gave a little broader perspektive on 19" mixers

Peace, Dj Dissent

ps. my first post..yay!

congrats on no longer being a TA virgin!

Glad to hear you are happy with the 3000. When you say that it is built on old technology, what specifically are you referring to?

Thanks,
J

im not big on bells and whistles. Rane MP2016, feel, quality, sound quality.

djm 3000 is a good mixer, (pretty much the same thing as djm 500 imo) but i'd get allen & heath xone 62 or 92 with rack ears if i had 1200 bucks to blow... you could prolly pick a 62 up on ebay for about that much, dunno about 92s...

and you thought you had issues

first club i spun at had a djm3000. seemed good quality enough, except i couldn't figure out how to use the damn effects! lol

Doesn't the DJM-3000 have better sound quality than the 500? If not, the mixer is really a rip off!
