OVERALL OPINION

How long have you been using?
2 years

What is so special that you like most and least?
The +: the effect system
the -: input mic jack in

How do you rate the quality / price?
Reasonable, it remains the pioneer

With experience, you do again this choice?
Not because it takes experience with the 4 channels

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.

(See specification sheet)

UTILIZATION

Limpid

SOUNDS

The equalizer is quality and I have never seen breath.

OVERALL OPINION

Table purchased in 2010 with the pack 400 (x2 CDJ), it was done better at the time in this type of product. Very accessible for grip after 2 years of loyal service honest (about ten hours / week) nothing moving. Of course in 2012 controllers have flowered well, more accessible, lighter, more versatile ... anything? Finally use my turntables to change (now used mainly as soundcard for Traktor) not one of my table that is a real gem, better than the DJM 350 I think that fits too between two products, between the gadget and pro table. Indeed with the DJM 400 effects box is a real box Pioneer in its operation with the same principle that controls its big sisters (700, 800, 850, 900 ...) It would be a shame to miss.
The DJM 400 is perfect to start on Pioneer, with a box effect is interesting and a very solid base analog (especially if you make a case).

2 Channels: 2 vinyls and 2 CDs (example). rca.une effect connection section is set each track or on the master (96 kHz and 24 bits) for the effect of synchro 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 to 1 / 1 in 2 / 1 and 4 / 1. any difference between its original and sampling.

UTILIZATION

The functions are very clear and simple to utilisation.manuel in french and very well explained.

SOUNDS

The sound is qualitée nikel no breath.

OVERALL OPINION

Buy April 8, 2006, I mix since 1990 and I've used different type of mixer, I think c is a very good product value for money: his capacity for its size and especially musical effects price. The only negative is that the n There is no output rec. (use the second master for the rec!)

A beautiful 2-way console (5 or 6 lines)
While RCA (except between micro)
An effects section cut the breath: echo, filter, flanger, delay, robot, roll, phaser - paramtrables course based on the BPM 1 / 2 1 / 4 1 / 8 4 / 1 8 / 1 16 / 1 either automatically or manually

A perfect chantilloneur: 24bit/96kHz (paramtrable fawn in the same section as the effects.
Prcisons the bote of his sampler and effects assignable to master, the CH1, CH2 and the microphones.

UTILIZATION

The table is generally well believe it There's enough space between the buttons, some buttons are illuminated (no need to light and more flexible)
The 3-band qualizer is perfect: from minus infinity 9 dB, the kill is more than raliste (like all pioneer: p)
The manual is in French trs clear complt a Schematic of principle if it ever happens to him a little and you know ppin tinker!

SOUNDS

There is nothing said about the sound quality of the DJM-400, like all pioneer: no breath, kill a whole, nothing else to say!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this console from 07/04/06
The bote effects (even more than other ralistes DJM with a box of effects) and the sampler are the most beautiful Russianness this console.
Before you have it, I had a Behringer and Bravy (but incomparable with the DJM-400
This console is an excellent qualitprix!
It's a console to have, especially for DJs who like consoles compact trs functional and is perfect for the house mix / techno!

See the website of Pioneer.

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple? Yes, we can no longer simple. We understand very quickly the operation of the table when he was in his hands. Only the use of digital effects suitable for BPM, requires a thorough manipulation, to be used in optimal conditions.

- The usual functions are they easily accessible? Despite its small size, the features of this mixer are very accessible to the user. It does not feel cramped. The ergonomics are excellent.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... The manual is complete. It can be very useful to understand the exact function of digital effects, and to exploit them as efficiently as possible.

SOUNDS

- The console is transparent? The sound is pure and transparent.

- Introduced she breath? I have seen no breath, when I put the faders up.

- The equalizer is effective? ... The manipulation of knobs is effective. I particularly like the cut frequency (function cut). However, I find that the reduction in frequency is not sufficiently progressive.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it? I use it for a week.

- What is so special that you like most and least? I particularly appreciate the effectiveness of digital effects, the layout of the preview to the headphone and fader start.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it? Yes, I tried a Numark DM1001X.

- How would you rate the quality / price? At first glance, one can find it expensive for a 2-channel mixer. But we see very quickly that was a product of high reliability which has the expertise Pioneer.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ... I have long been tempted by the Numark DXM06 of which I believe is the only alternative to the DJM 400 but in a range below. I preferred to wait 4 months to wait for the release of the DJM 400, and I do not regret my choice!

Conclusion: I recommend this table to DJs who mix of electro, who enjoy two-way tables and want to enrich their mixes with excellent digital effects.

This table is a marvel. I dballe yesterday, just the smell "Pioneer" is unique. What surprised me is that I expected more bcp! Once plugged in and turned it s'merveille to this little beauty. It would fminine a small table, the girl hidden from the DJM 800.

For technical questions, check out the forums or the website of Pioneer. But no matter. The effects are marvelous, and far better than the DJM 600. Much cleaner, with automatic synchronization to a beat and especially INTEGRATED SAMPLER, a wonder!

UTILIZATION

The configuration of this table is so simple that it is 4 minutes and ready-branch use!
Branch as soon as quickly used. Effects, pots, the master, his trs well thought of all her great.

SOUNDS

The console is more than transparent, better components and technology increased over the DJM 600. In fact it's really the little sister of the DJM 800. Club or house price diffrence between: VS DJM 400 DJM 800, there is no hsiter really! 489 VS 1400 average price observations.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this table as of today (07/02/2007) 6 hours and dj's assets. I like everything, I hate nothing. It certainly can be an XLR microphone input, in addition to Jack, but it's just a dtail! Great!

I tried a Berhinger DJX 700 before, and really it's even worse than a toy, it burned in my hands while I mixais after 8 months ... Gnial!

The ratio quality price is excellent! Pioneer for quality, options and finish, less than 500 there is nothing wrong!

With Pioneer, buy eyes closed: p Really? Amateur Champion, mix in the room, Semi Pro incidental, professional, Aviss DJ, DJ Club, Compete! Technology Pioneer in 2006 is really Ingal.

Have Fun!
