Wanted: Behringer DJX700 Pro Mixer

from an home point of veiw the djx700 is more than fine, granted is uses cheap chinese faders and most of the componentry inside is of the same quality but im and electronics wholesaler and importer and believe me you would be shocked of the brands i have seen come out of chinese factories!!

if you look after it you will have many years of audio fun and personaly the pioneer is a piece of shit and there is no way id ever part with $1300 bucks for one so the djx700 is suitably priced.

i have the 3 channel one of them, they work fine - seriously, for home use, u dont need anything that decent -

grab it G!!

let me know wat u think, id consider getting one..

Yeh I have th ethree channel one aswell, but from 5 years ago.. was going to get the current three channel one which is about $150 and looks like a bargain aswell, and still might do that

Slide, Is that the one you have.. the DX-626?

nah mate, i got this one: http://www.musicianswarehouse.com.au/defau...ductCode=VMX300

nice mixer for the money, i couldnt justify spending more on a home setup.. it is a solid little mixer - kills are great, X fader feels good..

i do need some more channels tho - as iv just bought a percussion pad and 2 CDJ`s for the psytrance :)
also enjoy mixing more than 2channels at a time.

edit: if u get stuck and wanto demo - welcome to check / have a fk round with mine....

yeh thats a nice mixer too

reckon the DJX700 looks the goer
cheapest ebay including postage = $373

Allans = $369
sweet

i bought this mixer not that long ago, like everyone said its good for it price and for a home set up ect, but people having telling this mixer has a short life span...?

Behringer stuff is funny... some of it is farkin terrific but the rest of it pfft :doze:

a party in pt lincoln had a djx700 & the level meters went out apparently it was 1 week old.... fuck that

however i have had several behringer rack fx & a 24/8/2 mixing console & they were superb! am a big fan of their tube gear too... but seriously i reckon a pioneer djm 300 would be better than the cheap ass bells n whistles behringer

I was gonna buy 1 but heard they were crap. The sound is spose 2 b shit house, n the 3 band equ. stuffs up all the time. Best bet is to save abit more and get the pioneer, cant go wrong with that.

give me an alen and heath anyday i say!

"Ok

This mixer is not working properly but I don't want to chuck it out, if your a techy and can fix

things, then this could be the bargain for you. My feeling is that it needs a new crossfader,

because it surges electricity through it on occasions.

So if you want to bid for it i am starting it at a dollar!"

how many channels do you need?

as an alternative, how about the numark dxm 06 (2 ch.) (can get them for less than $400), rave reviews and a tidy fx unit, or the dxm 09, same as the 06 except 3 channel.

If you had asked me 2 years ago I would have possibly been in agreeance, these days I wouldnt mix at home for more than 2-4 hours a month, i'd rather spend my beans on crack than an A&H mixer for home.

Behringer Vs Pioneer

The difference between Pioneer Malaysian factories and the competitions is we own our factories and we run them with our Japanese management. Yes we have Malaysian labor for the most part, however the quality control is extensively high. Our competitors do something differnt called OEM'ing their product. They source a factory and sometimes even source an engineering team that they contract to build a product. Problem with this is that there is a bigger probability to have QC problems when you are not in control. The other problem is that these factories then also build the same product for another manufacture. This is why you see such close similarities amongst the competition.

Pioneer = better product :)

Even though alan n heath are now being maufactured in cheaper factories, we can only hope that their controls are high aswell.

update: this mixer features in the armin van burren -shivers video clip..so it must be decent

Called Derringers today to price a new crossfader from my Behringer DX500 Mixer, and enquired about the DJX700... He said that they do not stock them anymore as they have been getting too many returns.. from totally stopping working, effects not working, poor quality output, sticky EQs... the works... nothing but problems apparently.. and that has turned me off this mixer now
Disappointing as my DX500 from Behringer has lasted me years and still going strong, just needs a new fader.. I guess I'll get a new one for $30 and be done with it

$30 for a fader aint bad.
I still havent had a problem with mine, although I dont use the effects.

I have been using a DJX700 at home for the last 8 months and the mixer has been superb! Not a problem to speak of (touch wood hehe).

Obviously alot of it comes down to how the mixer is treated as to how it performs for you.

Only bad point about the mixer is the BPM counters, they are about as accurate as a gold fish's left testicle! But if you're serious about your DJing, you shouldn't need to use them.

The effects unit is awesome, so many different ones to choose from that can really enhance your mix!

For the price you cant really complain!!!

agreed..

u dont need absolute quality at home anyways really..

agreed - the berringer BPM counters are shocking.

even that gemini mixer u sold me begginging of this year had good solid BPM count.

but yeh, bad habbit to get into..

Well I am fkn pissed off! Now I have been sold the wrong Fader and they are telling me it IS the right one.... yeh its the wrong fucking SIZE, the drill holes aretn even in th eright spot , and the way it attaches to the mixer is different! have to take it back.. but moral is long w/end with no mixer! through no fault of my own! well pissed off!

say ur playing a party / been booked for one.. and u need a mixer, try and get a loan mixer or something...

Well I'm biting my tongue from now on :shear:

Yeah its a bit like going from a 30 year old car and jumping into a brand newwy straight off the production line :tongue:

I stepped up to 1210 MK5's and boy watta difference! :thumbsup:
