    Very good mixer!

    Pioneer DJM-500Published on 04/12/13 at 03:36
    Yes, it can be rack-mounted, with the mod.

    RCA, 1/4" jack and XLR connectors

    4 channels, very practical

    The EQ is all right. It was more than enough back then and even today.

    Nice but limited effects section (although it's more than enough).

    USE

    Very easy to use

    SOUND

    Transparent sound.

    To get a quality and clear sound, you must ALSO consider replacing the power and filter capacitors.

    Use quality capacitors and you'll be surprised!!!

    The same applies to the faders. Clean them to avoid having noises and crackling.

    All electronics age with time and the capacitors age pretty badly.

    All electronics age with time and the capacitors age pretty badly.

    Personally, after some modifications, my djm 500 produces no noise, no crackles and it sounds perfect (I also have the djm 600, djm 400, ecler nuo 5, power france pmp 403, freevox dj club, and american audio q2422...)

    There are mixers that age better than others (depending on how much you use them and how you store them).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used it frequently for quite some time.

    I have lots of other models (freevox, pioneer, power france, ecler, soundcraft...)

    yes

    UTILIZATION

    faders go hard , great rustling background

    SOUNDS

    something very strange happens mixers Pioneer ...

    not the first time I see that change their behavior as obsolete.

    when are we going well, but as time passes, everything sounds worse.

    It has high stinging and tiring to the ear, large distortions under 0 dB

    OVERALL OPINION

    do not buy this...old past time

    No rack, special format ...
    5-way (4 + 1 micro music)
    RCA connectors for music sources, the second microphone jack and effects loop and XLR for the microphone and animated the main exit.
    EQ bass / mid / treble -20 / +12 dB per channel (-12 / +12 on the way micro)

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple and pleasant to use. The parameterization of the effects is not always easy but it's the only complaint he can be in use.

    SOUNDS

    RAS in terms of sound.

    I use it for 6 years.
    Everything is well thought out, but I'll list a few flaws:

    A lot of features with the box intgre effect.
    4 channels separated, multiple inputs, a master output, and an output monitor.

    UTILIZATION

    I do not regard the manual.

    because even the box has FFECT is very easy to use.
    panel, while load is very legible.

    SOUNDS

    After having known ur marks ..
    I would say that the quality of sound is very good.

    I is not a test Freevox, but I think the djm follows exceptionally close.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 2 years, and I buy occasionally ell was 2 years old.

    So mine has 4 years of life, and she walks nikel, no play in the knobs, no breath, no crack! still brand new

    UTILIZATION

    I test last night about 3 hours and I really enjoyed it!

    SOUNDS

    Logically sound quality of ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    BMOL the only two that I had time to note the part c'tait FX works even when the "parameter" is set to minimum (length of the table or original problem?) and-20dB EQ coming down and not - ∞, as on my Vestax.

    But the possibilities are all fawn FX limits, so it's not why we chose the Pioneer ... therefore strongly recommends a table!

    On its use, nothing to say. I'd like a table or we can remove the crossfader, but ...

    SOUNDS

    The sound is tight, for using Eclerc and currently Allen & health, I guarantee you that 500 is far from crystal clear! When the effects they induce such a blast that it makes them almost unusable!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it in repair for 5 years.
    I do not do it again this election. (I have not done the rest, use pro)
    I like the fact that it helps out, I hate his tone.

    Do not buy it

    Pioneer DJM-500Published on 05/08/11 at 12:31
    Is it rack mountable? I don't think so

    USE

    Is it easy to make settings? It's like any other mixer, with some faders, some knobs and that's it ^^

    Is it easy to access the main functions? Yes, if they are in the right mood. The electronics are of poor quality.

    SOUND

    Does the console sound transparent? Not really, it sounds terrible.

    Is the EQ effective? It's only average I'd say.

    Does it generate noise? Yes, lots

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long have you been using the product? I used it for 6 months in a PUB and was frankly disappointed

    Which feature do you like the most / the least? I don't like anything about this mixer, the effects are nasty

    How would you rate its value for money? It's too expensive for what it's worth.

    Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? Never

    Im a very satisfield customer,i really enjoy this set up with the djm and cmx 3000.But ive had a couple of bugs in my board. Such as the beat counter button not fuctioning on time or skipping and the video you get with it is pretty cheesey. But warrenties are wonderfull..So I m satisfied even though its my first.

    Price paid: $1000

    UTILIZATION

    Like i said cheesey video.

    SOUNDS

    I belive its pretty good its got some nice features (BPM Synch) And relay play. But it kinda makes it too easy....

    OVERALL OPINION

    This thing wont leave my side till i get something like it with a sampler .
