Pioneer Mixer Problem
View this Thread in Original format
SuPeRSaW2005
i've been using my pioneer djm-600 for a while now, never had any problems, except for a minor one (well, i used to think it wasn't that big of a problem, but now with a louder sound system, it's really getting annoying)...anyway, it has to do with the effects on/off button: each time i press it, i hear a slight pop sound come out of the speakers. I know this has to do with static or some electrical issue like that (also, my fog machine does the same problem each time I press the fog button)...i used to think this had to do with a problem in the way I was setting up things or maybe something wrong with my specific mixer, but my friend's pioneer DJM-3000 also has the same issue...anyway to get around this pop/click sound each time the effects button is activated?

thanks

I have a 3000 myself, i have that clicky thingy too, i can't make it disappear, but it clicks harder or "softer" depending on what effect is on when i press the efx button (if it's set to flange the click is so quiet i almost can't hear it, and if it's on echo it click's reeeal hard). Only thing i found that helps is to make sure the efx knob is set to absolute zero (duhh), if it's even slightly, how do i say this.. above zero the click is three times louder..

That's all i know, but if someone has a quick fix for this i sure as hell like to know too. :(

oh are u talking about like turn the FX depth knob all the way low, press ON and then take the FX depth higher? ya, i've noticed that works, but i think thats a pretty ghetto way of doing it...i'm sure there has to be a better, more professional method out there...ANYBODY at all?

upgrade to the 800.
SuPeRSaW2005
really? the 800 does not have this issue?

i don't have an 800, but i think i've heard people mentioning that same issue if i'm not mistaken
DJ_Lord
i think since u have a bigger and better soundsystem the 800 is more suitable.

I have the 3000, does the exact same thing. I chalk it up to old age. It is annoying though.

Mine too. I have a 3000 as well. DJMs are a joke, I wouldn't own one if I didn't get it cheap and broke, and fixed it for pocket change.

Only thing I like about the DJM3000 is the fader arrangement - very easy to remove the level fader boards and solder in linear faders... the control of rotary, the quick-in&out of sliders.

solution? allen heath, rane, etc...

actually the xone:92's filters have a pop/click too when they're switched on! :eek:
i think it has something to do with changing the audio routing instantly when the audio is playing.

Niiiiice.. my xone32 is nice and quiet bringing the filters in and out.

have you brought this up with A&H? their support people are usually pretty responsive...
