All user reviews for the Denon DJ DN-S1200

I used last week.
What I like about these effects are platinum, hot start, looping and USB port 100% compatible mp3.
What I like least is the jog / scratch BPM counter not very reliable.
It is a very good value for money.
With the same budget I will ever be the choice but if I had more money I will take the CDJ 1000 MK3!
Before buying these plates, I hesitated between the Pioneer CDJ 400 and the Denon DNS 1200. I got the 1200 because they were cheaper. And I'm not disappointed in these platinum because it is very creative with perfect loop and hot cue good effects but the only fault is that the scratch is average but I'm not much of a scratcher that does not pose any problem and my as the BPM counter that is not very good but as they say a DJ must rely on his ear and not the BPM. Let's say the CDJ 400 are more reliable than the long hard DNS 1200 but the 1200 is more creative. So for a smaller budget and you want to buy cheaper than Pioneer, these decks are just as good.

Used for 2 years.

All tried for 4 years, especially any other Denon and Pioneer and Numark range.

The feature I like best: the complete setup fairly major useful functions, these functions, effects.

The feature I like least: a tilted screen like the 3700 would have been quite the two buttons play / cue soft plastic. Depending on the area supported cex buttons, the buttons varies reactivity (about a hundredth of a second, I quibble a bit).
Anyway I find it less accurate than the system pushbuttons Pioneer round, even if intensive use they can also lose their accuracy. I think after 5 years of very regular use, I will have to change these buttons.


For the price I bought them, they are quite suitable for use semi-pro.

<strong>For how long have you been using it?
</strong>
I use these plates for 10 months déjàs.

<strong>Did you try many other models before getting this one?

no, this is my first turntables cd.
I was chosen for their USB port (compatible with MP3)
but I do not regret what the effects are.

What thing do you like most/least about it?

most: the fact that offers total control flexibility and the perfect loops and the two cue points.

Cons: small bug causing a complete stop when playing music (especially the beginning, nothing for 4 months), sensitive jog wheel that does not detect much in the way vinyl (which makes it useless in vinyl mode to my taste.).

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

Great product for 450 euros.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

I remake that choice without hesitation if I was not the means for the 1000 mk 3.</strong>

It's been a little less than 10 months that I use two DNS-1200 and I am quite satisfied.

I tried lots of different style, ranging from very simple to the super mega top killer, and I think the DNS-1200 defends really well! It is easy to learn, the buttons are intuitive and knob but not responding well to scratch).

Then, when you know that you can plug into the PC to run most software DJing, which can use the timecode CD without timecode, which can connect an SD / USB ... I think it is a versatile deck from which all VTR functions are functional (no gimmick)

What I find somewhat less well is the plastic buttons, I prefer aluminum as Piopio ... But that's quibbling!

I got the two DN-S1200 DN-table with the X120 for 600 €, it is therefore € 250 per plate, so yes, The report money in my case is excellent!
Even the price is a little higher I takes the same even if I have a weakness for the DN-S3700 ...

I used for 5 months and I do not blame them apart from their small size that could satisfy some.

I have not tried a lot of turntables only Pianos, turntables pioneer 850 and Technics SL1200 turntables, but I think these denon dns1200 seem very good (except the jog wheel a bit "crappy" to the touch .

I hesitated to make an offer Pioneer but came for me to take these turntables. The sensitivity of the buttons is perhaps worse than Pioneer but there is still a very good response.

The feature I like most are the functions pm: you can choose to control the decks via a PC (which I'm particularly by plugging into my console on my pc noon) or one can choose the hybrid mode that allows to use a mixer that is not connected to pc (which I'll opt not to long)

Regarding the quality / price, it is very correct, it sure is not the same price as a plate with Pioneer dns1200 but has very good quality.

These plates allow me to practice my advantage!

I would do this choice without any worries!

Used almost daily for a month.
I tried a lot of what is happening in the market flat platinum CD of this type.
I like the small size, all the possibilities with adjustable pitch, hot cue, effects, scratch that is very efficient as long as you already know that the scratcher and works a bit, USB, touch the plate (the time to get used to it after overtaking a tempo fingers in the nose)

Like least: the rubber buttons! bug, I do not know if it's to stand out or anything, but I find that the buttons at Pioneer are much more accurate. The USB port on the back is less convenient than the facade as cdj eg, rack and put it a bit complicated (I'm personally going to put extension cords)

I have the same concern evoked by lower by another user, after a certain time a cue button on either reacts less depending on where I support, but nothing too good ..

With regard to longevity, I've been dealing with Denon ago and I completely trusted pioneer for me is less reliable in the long run it is more fragile. After it's like mac vs pc .. I worked on Macs, which regularly planted, and I've seen the Pioneer fell stranded live twice ..

I think I would do this choice, or else I would try the above models or brands to see the long term, because it bothers me a bit to pay 300 more to get a cue not rubber and less of creative possibilities. It said the special package of blue CDJ is super nice and if I sub to not know what to do I would have taken just for the design with the rack, but I do not like the DJM ..

edit: I actually remade this choice because I bought a third ..

Value for money, I do not really know what to say, we are so influenced by the exorbitant prices of pioneer we will find it cheap, I think it's just normal. After OCCAZ in TBE there is a very good value for money.
