Hello all.
This may seem like a really simple question but i don't know the answer so it's gotta be asked.
I'm looking to buy a DJM600S and as people probably know here in the UK they're quite expensive, but...
I've seen them priced a lot cheaper in America and Europe. My main concern is the power supply on them. I know some sppliances can switch Voltage on them so they can function correctly here in the UK and in america.
So what i need to know is would the DJM600 work over here properly if i bought one from either america or europe. (Providing i get a plug adapter obviously).
Has anyone in the UK tried this?
Cheers all |

| I buy all my equipment from the US. It shall work fine, if you buy a voltage converter (110 volt to 220 volt). They are available in every electronic components shop. |

Hey M8!
I sell both the mixer and the voltage converters, you'll most likely need no more than 100watts 100v-240v converter, very inexpensive at only USD $19.95 plus shipping. Email me at [email protected] for a good price on the mixer and a shipping quote on mixer + converter to you, include in the email, your exact city, state/province, country, and postal zip code. Thanx..
Cheers... |

| im sorry about being a ass; but wouldn't you rather own a xone 62 instead? I'm sure they are alot cheaper in the uk b/c thats where xones are made and plus tax on pioneer mixers and so forth. |

Just preference really. And i like the added effects you get on the 600. |

| If I can offer my two cents, I'd run a Xone 92 and use the midi to control a EFX 500. That way you get the quality of A&H and the effects of the 600, which is probably why you want the Pioneer. This setup will cost you a pretty penny, but I doubt you will change for some time. |

As with all of us, it comes down to money. That is whay you said, I picked the 600 over anything else. All-in-one type affair. But I'll definately look into it. |

Although A&H Xone 092 or Xone 092Rotary is ten times better mixer than DJM600, Xone 092 is almost double the price.
I wouldn't compare djm 600 to Xone 092, way out of its league. Anthony, however, I would consider Tascam X-9, my personal Favorite, over djm600. You get so much more of a mixer, and way better sound quality, and I can give you a better deal on one.

Daniel,
I understand that you are trying to offer a mixer that is within the same price range of the 600. However, If you search the boards for feedback on the Tascam you will not get a lot of positive feedback.
Although they offer quite a bit more than the Pioneer, I'd be weary of their longevity. In my opinion, if you take the time to save and buy quality gear you never regret you purchase. |

Again, another reason I was going for the Pioneer. I'm trying to get the best of both worlds. A mixer that'll outlast me and all the extras thrown in. I know £600 is a lot of money for a mixer but for what I'm after I feel it's right for me.
Or am I just talking out of my ass? ;) |

Here is the problem that I'm slowly finding out to be true in a lot of cases where peeps gave neutral or negative feedback on Tascam X-9.
Many, just like I did at first, think that X-9 has dual eq bands on each channel, that is, 6eqs for each channel, and after playing with the mixer for awhile and not getting the sound they thought they should get from 6eqs, they dislike the unit, but the truth is X-9 has Parabolic EQs, thanks to the bottom rotating knobs of each eq being a sweeping filter which is also tempo controlled if desired. Another reason people disliked theirs is because they got intimidated by all its features and got scared of how creative they could be with this unit. Then there was a delay issue with the EQs and effects, well, if those that had this problem hadn't touched the factory setting for controls(Factory preset to fast)and changed the setting to Normal, aka slow, which caused the delay reaction in the mixer output. Several of my friends complained of that, I had them switch the setting back to fast and now they won't even touch a pioneer mixer, when they play out in the clubs, they bring their own X-9 if the club can't provide one for them. I had mine for quite a while but had to sell it due to financial problems(sold my entire set up) but I'm going to be in the market for new set up, and since xone 092rotary just got quite a bit more expensive(A&H raised prices on Rotary version) I'll be buying the X-9 once again and I'm 150% sure it will outlast djm600. Our Club's DJM600 is only 2yrs old and has been in the shop over a dozen times already, unit is only used once a week for 6-8hours, that's it. Thank God we retired that POS djm, and now have A&H Xone 464mkII, Xone 092, and Tascam X-9 when needed. the DJM600 is an extreme emergency use only unit.
