| If this is reasonably priced and supports a rotary mod this could become a really solid option for a lot of people. |

I can't stand Pioneer mixers.
I learnt on a DJM-600, they are the biggest pile of turd ever. |

I just bought a new 800 today, and this doesn't even phase me.
This is a waste of R&D money by Pioneer. One, I'm sure Allen & Heath and Rane are about to bitch-slap Pioneer with a new product announcement in the next 12 months to combat the 800. Two, All this mixer is is an 800 with a new Filter, Crush, and Roll - all still on the 800 and in a more functional way - and without the color FX and digital outs. So they spent all this money in R&D to put this out as an "inbetweener" to the 600 & 800, which the 600 is still demanding $1000, and the 800 still racking in $1400. Tell me where they are going to price this thing? It's not going to be less than the 600, nor more than the 800. So in reality, they are looking at a whopping $200 bucks more if these sell these at the "inbetween" price of ~$1200. And just about anyone who's looking at a high end mixer will spend the extra $200 on the 800.
Why not put it into an 800 "MK2" version with an improved filter and roll on it, or as was discussed on another forum put it in a beefed up 400? ......just makes no sense to me to put R&D money into the 700. |

....which is why you don't work for Pioneer. All they are doing is putting a product out there that contends with other new mixers in that price range, it's business, plain and simple. They're covering as many bases as they can which is what thay've done with the CDJ200, 800 and 1000. |

That's my point, they aren't covering another base with this mixer. They have the DJM-400 (i.e. CDJ-200 example), the DJM-600 (i.e. CDJ-800 example), and the DJM-800 (i.e. CDJ-1000 example). This mixer stands alone, and it's not at a price point that will sell given their current products that it fits between....the DJM-600 & DJM-800.
And btw.....I happen to work for one of the largest electronics companies in the world, one that is about 635X bigger than Pioneer.....literally. And lets just say I have a very in depth knowledge of R&D, new product launches, and pricing strategy..... |

Totally agree.
Sounds completely pointless to me, particularly if it's only gonna be $100 less than the 800!!
800 owners don't despair - your box is better than this, a worthy investment. |
