Audience: Beginners
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.
