| the 800 is sweet. i played on it at a TA party in LA and it was a solid mixer. I didnt use the effects or the key display, but for just mixing, it is very nice. |

Quite honestly.... I would get a Pioneer or a Xone over the Ecler. Why? Because those two are pretty much industry standard. If you ever decide to become a club DJ, you will see those a lot and you would already know them pretty good. On the other hand, I've been DJing since the early 90's and I'm still yet to see an Ecler mixer at a club or party. |
A lot of clubs have Eclers installed especially the larger format mixers SCLAT, etc... I think Ecler is on a level with Rane which is to say much better than Pioneer. I don't buy the sell that you have to use a mixer you don't prefer at home just because they will be in clubs or at parties. A good DJ can mix on anything, so for personal use people should get what they like best. |

:conf: Really? Before I got a Xone:92, I bought a 600 for $689, brand new. That was two years ago. I've seen 500s go for $350 (not a fan, but that's a good deal).
Anyway, if you're gonna spend that much on a mixer, you might as well get a Xone:92 or Vestax PMC-CX, rather than the DJM-800. |

never had the chance to use em. But Having read the manuals for both mixers...
Xone 92>DJM800
the only real upperhand for the 800 is the FX
I don't think i'll ever get the chance to use a Xone in Australia. There's only one retailer for that, and not a single club i've been to has a Xone. |

I agree he should buy whatever he feels comfortable with. But I still yet to see an Ecler mixer in a club. At Spundae we use either Xone's or DJM800. At the spanish rock clubs I play at we usually have Pioneers. At most one night events I have played at are either Rane, A&H or Pioneer. Sometimes even Vestax. |

Pioneer is the Nike of the DJ equipment market. |

| Eh, I thought it was overrated at first. But I just watched the demo video on decks.co.uk, and I gotta say you can do some incredible things with that mixer. I am seriously considering one now. |
