hey all, i've had my behringer djx-700 for about a month and a half and i wanted to know if anyone else hears an eletrical hum when the volume is turned up. i made sure my tables were grounded right and tight, and i am sure its coming form channel 3. i'm gonna fiddle aroudn with the channels, but has anyone else come across this?
oh yeah, other than that i love it and yes i know the pioneers are better, but i only bought this one so i can get used to the fader layout for when i'm not using my friends djm-500.
much love to you expressing yourself through music |

| yea i have an electical hum as well. but mine is through the master output. the louder the master is the louder the hum is. but when its up loud i cant hear it anyway, only ever hear it when there is no sound soming from my speakers. |

| i have the same prob with my VMX300 . Just kill that channel, unless you're using it. That solved the problem for me. |

i just transferred my second deck over to channel 4. i still hear some hum, but not too too bad.
i guess this is something i'll have to deal with
thanks all |

Maybe you could try their after sales services... After all, the mixer should still be under warranty...

Try giving them a call, and ask for a local repairer. Or explain them your problem and maybe there is a simple way to fix it.
Or you might check their online help, but I'm a bit sceptic about that...

i'll give them a call tomorrow and let y'all know what's up. i just think its funny they advertise no noise and that's what i got.
unfortunately, we don't have much as far as dj quip goes here in san antonio, so i'm at behringer's mercy. |

| it's most likely a bad ground connection. make sure your tables are gounded to the mixer if they have grounding wires. also see if there is a switch on the back of the mixer for "lifting" the ground. try toggling that if there is. if that doesn't solve it your problem was probably buying a djx-700. cheers. |

| I don't understand why everybody is so sceptical against behringer. I've had no complaints about any their products. Of course it isn't 100% proffesional equipment, but, you get what you pay for! |

| i dont have a behringer mixer, mine is a cheap ass numark dm-1285, but i do have a bit of noise, or possibly this "hum" that you guys speak of. if i have the master level set kinda high and turn up any of my channel faders i get some noise coming thru my speakers. the only time that i notice this is when i have no music playing. i always just assumed that this was because i have a cheap ass mixer. its never noticeable while music is playing, and hasnt affected my mixing at all. i think its just a fact of life when you have $200 mixer. |

I've looked this up in my manual of my VMX300:
S/N ratio = 85dB
The DJX700 has an S/N ratio= 80dB
The VMX300's sound quality is slightly better than the DJX700. But still, you shouldn't have more than 1.2 Db of noice if you use it at home, 1.2Db is harly hearable...
Electrical hum shoudln't be there...
(Just to compare: the DJM600 also has a 85 S/N ratio) |
