Behringer DJX700

I am satisfied with most of the features on the mixer. I would have like to seen a better beat counter seeing as I am a new dj. I really think my beat counter may be screwed up, or I don't know how to use it. It was good to me for a first mixer. I would have love to seen the 8 second sampler from the Pioneer DJM-600.

Price paid

$350 Canadian

UTILIZATION

Took me around 5 minutes to set all the cables up and get it running. The manual is really helpful and I thank Behringer for making it so helpful. It was easy to understand, even for a first time buyer. I have to figure out the beat counter then it will be all good. Thats my only concern about it right now. The whole layout of the faders and dials was pretty good. Every thing is in a good place.

SOUNDS

Sound quality is good, but one of my turntables is in bad shape, and it shows in the hum. If you have out of shape turntables, fix it or get a new one. It really shows in the sound. I found some of the effects to be useless, but some of the effects I like. I like the Panning Tremolo. It has a total of 46 effects built in. There is a great spinning dial to scroll through different effects easier. I am going to buy a seperate effects machine later.

OVERALL OPINION

I have not had to contact Behringer for anything that has gone wrong with the DJX 700. It has been great for me. It seems like a tough mixer, and the quality of the mixer is good.

I really like this mixer, but I can't speak for every DJ seeing that this is the first mixer I have bought. I am fairly new at DJing, but this mixer I really enjoy. I think if I had the money I would go with the Pioneer DJM-600, but for know I absolutly love this the Behringer DJX-700. I can't wait to see what they come out with next!

As a first mixer, i am very satisified with the features. as i am not an "expert", the features are more than enough to keep me entertained. i don't dj in clubs, but in my pseudo-studio.... reason being, i live in a city with no musical flavor. i spin mostly deep house and a little downtempo.

Price paid

$200

UTILIZATION

As my first studio setup, i think the manual could have been more helpful. if you have patienience however, there are more than enough resources on the net to answer any and all questions you may have.

being around many party djs in the past, i don't think i would use this mixer at a large gig. for house parties and other smaller events i think it would be good. i have had no problems, therefore no need to contact customer service.

SOUNDS

I think the sound quality is a bit above average. my setup is as follows: 2 stanton str8-100's w/ ortofon concord pro s needles behringer djx 700 onkyo tx-ds656 receiver (i would rather have a power amp as i feel it would improve the sound) klipsch kg 4.2 speakers (beautiful sound, love the horns) my main problem with the sound is probably due to the fact that my room is small and carpeted. the speakers are off the floor on cinder blocks but the equipment sits directly on the carpet. i think when i get the equipment desk off of the carpet and cinder blocks under it, it will help alleviate some of the vibration from the speakers causing some feedback in the tables. as i said, i primarily spin deep house and i think the behringer mixer is good for this.

OVERALL OPINION

I would love this to have been a BALANCED mixer vs. an unbalanced one. i am sure at some point, when money permits, i will upgrade to a different mixer, probably one with few if any effects. for a beginner like myself or any bedroom dj, i think this is a great mixer.

Very good features for money, shame that effects dont feature more control such as cutoff frequency, resonance, delay time, rather that just one universal "Level" control which just controls the volume or the effects. I have had a lot of fun playing with the effects, could do with more control though, dissapointed about this. Beatcounter seems to be a useless gimmick and I rarely use the "XPQ surround". I do like the fact you can choose the crossfader curve thoough.

Price paid: £144

UTILIZATION

Interface fine, pretty standard. No problems. Master out could be a bit further from channel 4, have knocked it by accident few times. People moving up from a really low end mixer might take a while to get to grips with the assignable crossfader, not hard really though. The beat counters could be easier to use, seems to me they rarely work, and very very rarely actually show the correct tempo. Just seems to say 160 most of the time. This would be not of much use to those who need a beatcounter. Kill switches would be better if they were easier to turn of and on quickly. As it is they arnt.

SOUNDS

Sound quality good. Sometimes I think it lacks the high frequency but it might be due to other equipment

OVERALL OPINION

Am in the process of returning it, due to countless problems. The main reason for returning is the crossfader broke. Ive had a look inside and although the part connecting the knob to the insides is metal, the bit this is joined to is very thin plastic! which broke! rubbish design, I wasnt even giving it much stick. All the controls feel a bit wobbly and unsure of themselves. Ive also experienced leak between the monitor channels when at fairly high volumes. This makes mixing a bit of an ordeal. Also, the button to turn effects on isnt that bad, but sometimes has a mind of its own. As I said earlier the beatcounters might as well be replaced by a cigarrete lighter/bananna holder, as t'would be a lot more useful. The actual case build seems quite good, it hasnt fallen apart, but im not holding my breath and its only been moved 3 times in its 6 month life. Basically this mixer is a cheapo rip off of the pionneer DJM 500 I think which is a lot nicer. If you got the money get that instead (I dont!)

Well I loved it for the first 3 months or so.. Now I dont so much hate it, but I dont quite feel the same anymore, it hasnt got what it once did and to be honest I cant see us lasting much longer. Let me rephrase that; I cant see it lasting much longer. Don't love it - Dont hate it. First 3 months love of about 8, now due to broken monitor cues and shattered crossfaders, i barely feel half that way any more.....
