UTILIZATION

Fairly easy to configure we know how to use a mixing desk. It is fairly intuitive, and I opened the manual just out of curiosity and for any function a little more advanced, such as adjusting the EQ frequency sound card or party.

The concern of this table (for me) is the log very "Pioneer" but it has the advantage of quickly finding its mark, especially when the other person find themselves playing it. Once the principle of double effect included, everything is super simple, and the backlight knobs is a real plus when it gets dark.

SOUNDS

The bulk of this argument is sound console, in addition to the double effect and functionality afternoon and everything it offers. As I said above, the design is very reminiscent of that of a Pioneer, so you can feel that Denon has chosen to defy choosing this provision. And clearly won the battle for Denon, the sound of this table is super clean, while having a lot of reserve power level. Where a Pioneer send sound quite cold and metallic limit, the Denon is more neutral and clear, with a sound more faithful. My monitor appreciate :)

So no breath. And what is the EQ, I had this problem with saving some table, have not always EQ set. For example on my Numark DXM Pro (and many Numark in general) is the medium that cuts too wide and therefore acts almost as a gain on the Pioneer is the bass that cut a little too high and therefore acted like a medium low (I use the filter once when I mix on DJM-800). There, on the Denon, no worries, even though the original is set, and if it be not a stroll in the menu and it is editable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 6 or 7 months.


Before that I had a Numark DXM Pro at home, and a Pioneer DJM-800 to work, I also had other smaller Numark, played a lot of time on Xone, and occasionally on Rane TM57 or the Korg "I know the model (the one with the integrated Kaos No)" to a friend.


What prompted me to buy this table is the sound quality already. I was moved to purchase the 1600 but a good money back unexpected made me take the plunge for 1700. I scratch a lot and the cross is more robust and flexible (you can setup more flexibility in the curve), and the track are also adjustable, which reminds me of my old table scratch. I need 4 tracks and scratch table is not too supply suddenly I fell back on the table more oriented club, and I'm not disappointed at all. The double effect is nice and easy to update in place. No bug for the moment, the screen is clear, the sound is clean and powerful (usually engineers or in the event I play make me a half set the master unless another DJ ...). Another small detail that I had not thought of buying it, the microphone input with 2 and a volume for each volume + for both at the same time, an "on / off" each also quite practice. The headphone output is also clean and powerful, never used more than half, even club. At the end, there are the classics, plus the beatbreaker which I became addicted (with the possibility of its own patern).


For "less", I'm not sure what to say, may be the price, even if it worth. The fact that it heats up a bit, but nothing annoying, just I try to find fault. Actually, the thing that bothered me the most was the fact that on the 1600 it y'ai the small button noon over there is not the 1700, but there's the double effect so it compensates (and I not really serve the noon part is ...). The biggest flaw that could give this table (at least for me) is that we do not really use the little two effects simultaneously. But using a little cheat effect on the track and the other on the master. I also had some trouble with setting noon, which is not super easy, but I have not really pushed it for the moment, so I prefer not to go too far above.


The price / quality ratio is excelling. Quality is at the rendezvous, the sound is there, so no regret for what is my choice. I am a former user Numark great, but last year, I converted to Denon, and no regrets :)
