All user reviews for the Denon DJ DN-MC6000

The Denon DN-MC6000 is a high quality digital mixer and controller that comes ready to go and easy to set up right out of the box. This controller has just about any function on it that a DJ could as for in this price range. All of the buttons light up making it very easy to see in poor lighting conditions. This controller is a 4 channel standalone digital DJ mixer that has a built in MIDI interface and its own sound card. I have used many Denon controllers over the years and I am very pleased with the quality of them. They also seem to make sure they all have a solid build to them and are not made out of plastic.
This unit comes with Virtual DJ LE software which is far from my favorite software but you can use it with just about any DJ software you may just have to do some tweaking of the functions within the program to get it to response correctly. There are vinyl pitch bend jog modes and even oversized cue and play buttons.
This interface and controller will work with any Windows system fluidly (not sure about Windows 8 yet). If you want to use it with a Mac you can, just make sure you have a good processor. There are 45mm cross faders and XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced master outputs. This mixer was a great live performer for me because of the mic ducking function and built in echo effects for the microphones.
I was able to set all of my functions up via the presets settings to be the way that I like to have them for each one of my shows. Being that at the time I was sharing this unit, this was a critical feature for me so I didn’t have to reset everything the way that I wanted it each time I wanted to use it.

Last month I had the pleasure of borrowing a friend's Denon DN-MC6000 to play a show with and boy was it a blast. Having not settled on a favorite controller worth buying new, the MC6000 definitely surfaced as a viable candidate due to its very functional interface and portability. As the majority of the shows I play are on the road, I need a controller that can weather the storm in the back of a van packed with production equipment. The Denon MC6000 in its small-suitcase-sized black carrying case stood through the test. Once inside the event, I opened up the case into a full work-station - a very cool aspect of the product. The controller lay in the base of the case but was large enough to fill the space up to the rim of the opened container so that the buttons were fully visible from a profile view. The top half of the case then turned into two pieces - one that was removed and set aside and one that folded into a laptop stand above but set-back from the board itself. I allowed the device to act as an external sound-card and connected the decks directly to my speakers via XLR. The decks then connected to my computer via USB, all in a tight, compact set-up that left plenty of room in the bottom of the case in which to store excess cables. As for the performance, the decks couldn't have worked better. Apart from the lay-dancer coming up to the table just to gape at the fantastic array of colors on the board, the MC6000 truly shined with its uber sensitive jog-wheels, 4 channels, and completely customizable and extensive effects rack. All in all I would recommend the Denon DN-MC6000 to someone who, like myself, might prefer a smaller set-up to compliment their smaller stature. The only set-back is the financial aspect which comes out to around $800 for a new unit. After having used one for free I'm not sure if I want to buy this product new, but it is certainly competing valiantly.

-How long you use it?

For more than six months

-Did you tried many other models before buying it?

Traktor S4

-What is so special that you like best?

This is a very robust bug. All in a lifesaver. Very easy to use.

-What is so special that you like least?

The space is somewhat limited. We often find a touch jogs unintentionally if one is not careful.

-How would you rate the quality / price?

Very good. In addition to a 4 channel mixer, it was also an external sound card that is valid for one use at home.

With experience, you do again this choice?

No. It happens that I prefer to have more room. The controllers all-in-one are not for me. But for small hands very accurate, I recommend!



CAUTION: After 7 months, 2 faders has started to deteriorate, until they no longer work at all (they no longer have any effect). The table is currently in for repair, which has apparently never seen it ...

Hello everyone.
Generally satisfied, but even when a complaint.

To court, it is an excellent controller noon, except that answers directly to the scratch or AC is not a pioneer.Sinon think it's really good even if the interface is a little ricrack because it is the space between the different keys is really a trend petit.On soon touch the jog when should not.
Ormi these small defects with a mix of PC software is a regal, is set to prepare for an ideal time saver.
on the other hand in sound card is correct without more, good for home or small private party, but not recommended in heavy night with sounds system performant.Les mic its naz; ca buzz quickly and there's no equalizer niveau.Les correct.
Limit recommended for weddings and parties in serious ...

So very good sound card controller noon but a short limite.Pour 700 euros sounds a bit shit but hey .. as usual it's all the same ...
Greetings

I use it for 5 months now coupled with Traktor Pro 2.

I have a Hercules controller (must start with something) but really happy trs chip compared to the Denon and especially against the 2-way 4 of the Denon.

What I like is really the ergonomics and robustness.
One thing is INTERESTED use as a sound card as external mixer. Very easy to configure but you must follow the instructions exactly. The Maping on Traktor took me 20 seconds: click to import the file from Traktor, Traktor redmar and forward music.

Takes a good Journe to tour features makes case to get used to the BTE and Bonton.

I find the price more than reasonable for such good quality.
I could touch the S4 and frankly I am on my Denon.

For how long have you been using it? 3 months


Did you try many other models before getting this one? S4 and DDJS1


What thing do you like most/least about it?
more: the fact that it is iron, not plastic like the S4 or the pioneer (at least it lives!) ergonomics and easier to grip (just makes sense), responsiveness, everything is clear and available wherever they need is very well organized! Tactile knobs but especially the small pots and buttons for browsing and loading tracks in traktor, really great. the quick search button in the tracks (not on the s4)

less: the precision of pitch is a bit lighter (it's not the pioneer), but attention is still very correct! and Knob lanes are a bit too close for my taste. The big negative is mostly TRAKTOR LE which comes with, what a beautiful ...!!!!!! m. it completely clamp performance (functionality and responsiveness) of the machine


What is your opinion about the value for the price?
IM-BA-TTABLE!


Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
hoooowayyyy! sometimes twice a day, I'm really happy with my controller, I think it's really an achievement compared to the cd and vinyl!

* For how long have you been using it?
1 month and already mixed in the evening with a pure feast of course TRAKTOR PRO!
* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No, I pass timecode vynil (2 Technics SL1200 Mk2 + traktor scrat Duo)

* What thing do you like most/least about it?
a) overall product quality
b) electric power in addition to the USB (what other midi controller did not).
c) quality of buttons / faders
d) ease of navigation of audio tracks and effects and samples / cue / loop
e) the only midi controller to provide a complete control of the machine without a computer (very convenient when you do not want to mix in dvs system and simply connect the turntables cd / vinyl records and mix with the old one)
f) adjustment of 2 microphones with effects

* What is so special that you like least?
the jog wheel is good to very good but a bit small in diameter.
there are 2 modes: scratch (center of the jog wheel) and the pitch mode on the sides of the jog wheel (a bit like the Pioneer CDJ).
So you tell me 'why I criticize jogwheel "simply because I was mixing with vinyl records and nothing else can replace the pleasure of handling turntables!
* What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Correct price for the quality of the product. A repeat without hesitation! The future already looks increasingly towards an all in one solution and this especially for mobile dj, moving fairly Souvant like me and not being too trusting of the material event organizers / clubs (prob cell vynil, problem connecting / disconnecting cables). Midi controller that connects via a simple RCA cable and plugs into the power and the laptop and go for a mix!
