im just messing with my friend's djm 600.... im taking care of it while he is on holidays ;)
anyway.... im at a loss.....
i must be missing something here
i previously had a denon mixer and a xone92..... both were very loud when i turned up the master volume....
this mixer is very quiet for some reason....
i can have the gains maxed out and the master volume maxed out
and it really isn't that loud...
it doesn't push my powered speakers at all the way the other mixers did even the less expensive denon pushed my mackies hard
thanks
is there some setting or some quiet switch |

| in order for it to sound loud... the mixer is essentially saying that i am clipping |

| coming from a previous 600 owner, pioneer 600's suck? don't put yourself down to that level when you have a 92 at your disposal |

lol.... yeah obviously but i have a gig this friday with a 600... so im just getting used to it
what a ing difference... this whole thing about the "sound" of the mixer is real... i kind of figured it was a minor difference |

a nice thing about the 600 though is it "hides" shoddy eq work
beatmatching still needs to be on point obviously
but the xone 92 reveals all of your intricate eqing
which is find once you get used to that... |

| turn the master attenuation screw on the back, it's probably set too low |

lol, give that man a pint!
Would the attenuation dial have any effect on the mixer clipping?
Or again, keep it in the green and you should be fine? |

| The sweet spot on the 600 is just when you're peaking into the first red or two. |

you want to set your mixer to the appropriate levels then turn that screw so you're pushing your amp just right, make sure to give yourself enough headroom to avoid clipping the amp
that screw is there so you can get all your gear operating in the sweet spot, some amps want more signal, some less, so instead of sacrificing level on the master, they added the screw in there to allow for some fine tuning |

| of course, it may be old and outdated but it's still an amazing workhorse of a mixer that's still leaps and bounds ahead of most |
