  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  Originally written by beatrouble on Audiofanzine FR.
  
  
  
  See manufacturer's website

  Utilization

  Very easy to use: two channels, two mics, effects processor.
  
  Easily understandable manual, perhaps a bit complex when it comes to effects, especially for beginners... But the unit is very intuitive to use.

  Sounds

  Very good EQ with perfect cuts.
  
  Main disadvantage: noise. I connect them to my monitoring speakers. I use them with Ableton and I get a lot of noise... When mixing, the noise is not audible.

  Overall Opinion

  I've been using it for over 2 years.
  
  Previously, I owned a 3-channel Gemini but it cannot be compared.
  
  
  
  Pros:
  
  Good-quality effects although some of them are unnecessary.
  
  Overall quality: rugged construction (the controls are sturdy)!!
  
  
  
  Cons:
  
  The filter would be better if it had only one control, like on the DJM-800 and 700.
  
  One additional channel would be nice.
  
  
  
  Good value for money. It's the price to pay for professional equipment. If it's too expensive for you, buy a Gemini, Numark or Behringer but you might have an ugly surprise...
  
  
  
  I would definitely buy it again and I recommend it to all DJs who want a REAL quality mixer.

  I used some time soirées.Les effects are not huge, but at least are present (well I use not as ca)

  pvesco's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " it holds the road"

  Characteristics

  4 CD inputs (or 2phono and 2CD)
  
  mic convertible into auxiliary inputs: one can connect another console example for decent mic.
  
  intuitive and easy effects section
  
  equipment is robust and enduring por turn
  
  Unsymmetrical outputs on RCA jacks

  Utilization

  Common functions could not be more convenient and easy, very pleasant to use equipment without large poor ergonomics.
  
  EXCEPT the order of micro (slide the microphone ... :-( that's rocker or push!), If you want to animate while mixing, much easier to be open before ...
  
  Anyway this is a fault that recurs in Pio (or other brands of DJ concurrent tables: one is best and right microphone with bass and treble adjustment, a talkover or more inputs of poor quality.

  Sounds

  EQ on stereo channels good and bad on mic channels.
  
  Its correct and good dynamic
  
  non-symmetrical output so if we want better level of appeal to an intermediate device (equalizer or sound mixer) (Quality ...)
  
  Breath? When we send Wts, what we seek is the sound quality and is more than correct. If you bump gently, with little volume output, the breath is absent.

  Overall Opinion

  In use for some evening but I know that run 15 hours on 24 ...
  
  What I like is the use ... It is much easier and more intuitive than a 600,
  
  What I do not like it's microphone inputs (see above).
  
  I would have liked even better sound and balanced outputs (the audio output of a 800 for example)
  
  Value for money, even secondhand, is often good, we can say that it is the business of the moment. 300 Euros was a good occases that can turn a serious way.
  
  The News Pioneer does it anyway not replaced in its price range: The 350 has only two entries only, and is more dedicated to an activity already home. The 250 is a low-end. The above models are a little too focused on a specific use or bulkier.
  
  One can connect as many sources as CD on a 700 or a 400 ... 600 But it takes much less space. Used a 700, it costs two DJM400 ... Some said it is good to start with, I think she may continue to be as pure, this is a professional tool to last.

  arnaud35000's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " The quiet strength ..."

  Characteristics

  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 ...

  cidlechat's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " ok"

  Characteristics

  Good food from a viewpoint of sound quality and workmanship.
  
  Equalizers deserve just to be more precise.
  
  
  
  It is increuvable, the sampler is a real plus (which exists only on the DJM400)

  manu-d's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Good coffee table"

  Characteristics

  Features available everywhere!

  Utilization

  Console very easy to use, manual is simple and clear
  
  small but all features are easily accessible.

  Sounds

  It was not the best sound in the world, but it certainly is clean.
  
  One can find much worse!

  Overall Opinion

  I've had two years
  
  I had the TSB, Gemini, Numark ...
  
  
  
  the + effects, sampler, two microphones.
  
  the - no balanced output but I spend a equalizer which came out in symmetrical, so I have no disruption over long distances.
  
  
  
  I use it in mobile disco and to my knowledge this is the only table two tracks and two mic inputs on the market.
