See the manual for specifications.

UTILIZATION

Simple setup, and you plug it mixes, no worries particular.

I have not read the manual:-D

Pioneer has a knack for making products recognizable at first glance, the DJM 400 is no exception to the rule and for those who are accustomed to Pioneer products, everything falls perfectly under the fingers. And you can switch to different models DJM carefree, we soon find its bearings.

SOUNDS

Although not a model of clarity of sound, it is not the last, perhaps thanks to digital? ...

EQs are effective but are not exceptional, I think it's fair emieux that.

Found no obvious blows.

OVERALL OPINION

It has been 4 years since I use it, I bought used (6 months) to a member of AF.
She has done a lot of evenings, she worked for more than a dozen hours sometimes without any problems, she worked at a party to over 35 degrees, it heats but does not break!

Before I had the DJ Technics SH 1200, good sturdy table but not age well at the knobs and breath.
Numark also a ...
But the Pioneer is on top.

What I like most: almost everything! It is a small two-lane, of course, but well used (effects, sampler) it can be daunting in the evening ... and I much prefer having my DJM 400 with its 2 channels and some effects used at 100% a big DJM 2000 which will never be pushed to its maximum capacity (see a lot of DJ's ...)
It is small and not heavy, easily transportable, coupled with my two CDJ 200, this is a trio who, despite the years, remains relatively cool!

What I like least? The EQ, for form ... and the absence of send / return ...

400 euro bought 4 years ago, for the number of evening and I did with the miles she has traveled and seen its state (impeccable!!) I would say value for money excellent. Nothing to say about the reliability and robustness.

With experience, I would do this choice without hesitation.
I was looking to change my set-up, but actually, what that Pioneer offers the best in the range 2-way? The DJM 909 reaches retirement and does not justify its price. The DJM 350 offers fewer opportunities.

I remain faithful to my DJM 400 ...
