All user reviews for the Denon DJ DN-S1200

- How long have you use it?
I use it for one week bought used in very good condition

- What is so special that you like most and least?
It's all still fresh so it's a hot view!
Reception of my platinum package, the carton is empty bizzare?
I open, the plate very well packed in bubble wrap, after many layers I perceive the baby and finally ..... Ohhhh my god!
Denon invinte the first stage for gnome! mdr
I watched these measurements before ordering, it seemed small but when the see it have a shock, and finally a stage smaller than my mixer
Well after a few days were getting used to, then it saves a bit of space
So I plug in, turn on, everything seems to work
After a few song, the stage bug like I made the break but do not leave and this a few times with different disks
Well ... I will try to do an update, maybe a bug that can be corrected
MAJ make and perfect for most any bug or blocked, I finally just to focus on the plate
You still need a little time to begin to manage the basic function and get used to this super-precise pitch me change my axis 4 and 9)
The disc on the tray also very precise as to scatch for the timing of the piece
The effects are really great there is that much no effect superflux which are useless
The DUMP function BRAKE REVERSE are downright excelente (especially DUMP is my favorite)
and very easy to manage
Possibility to connect external source (iPod, PC, USB key), despite a reaction time a little longer for some functions via external sources almost no difference with a CD
for now not Assé temp use to be able to manage properly but so far nothing to say about this board I find that all is more or less well placed, the grip is easy to make a platinum Assé with such office, notwithstanding that I am still a novice on CD, I think it's a good compromise between the vinyl / cd the other model that I never had the opportunity to be tested should be more than perfect (model avaec turntable)
For now no negative side to do with a little more hezure spent on the latter, but I think I made the right choice

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I still actuelemnt but good old numark axis 4 and 9
I've tried a few models and models of pioneer gemini and other "small" plate
Personal pioneer make good deck but I have not a good feeling with these decks, I sen more at ease on denon

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Very good quality / price ratio given the concentration of technology ^ ^

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I think a model with turntable Meux suit me I think I take a later 3500
But at the moment so I make the same choice

How long have you use it?
For more than six months, before I had the dns 1000 for 1 year

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
What j'apprcie most:
- Read the full mp3
- The effects trs "pro"
- The precision of all features (pitch, effects, shelf ...)
- Finally, the possibility of scratching with the plate unlike the dns 1000 even if it is not the mk2
What I regret:
- A library function in mp3 would be welcome but I think the shot will be corrected in the future. Cls on large files with lots of USB, it is not empty to navigate.
- Denon dj software is still on top. It allows nanmoins complter of tags and automatically add the bpm in each mp3. Which is a shame is not having this function library that would Sparer files by genre. That said, By creating a partition on a hard drive ddi software for every musical genre, it is easier to navigate.
- I AIM to navigate the music files from my plate and catch it on my pc with why not, art display, as you would in winamp for example. It would really be very practical.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I possdais the dns before 1000 and I shut satisfied. It's been almost 10 years that I did not mix on CD. In the era I was content with my double cd cdd bst 216!
The dns 1000 are simple and effective. The tray can just wedge a piece n'esprez but do nothing with. What a Difference with dns 1200! Not at all the same plates. I do not know Pioneer and I headed to Denon for the report quality / price.
I have 2 mk2 and I mix it less and less, I do not think it could happen one day ... I take more pleasure with the DNS in 1200. The effects are easy to handle and use and a real rgal. They are "pro", effective and prcis. Nothing to do with the effects of DNX 1500 that are a little less and play prcis handle.
Since then I have all my vinyl numrise!

How do you report qualitprix?
I see only one competitor Denon, Pioneer. But the prices are exorbitant. Pioneer has made a beginners renamed in 2000 and although the products are certainly trs good marketing effect because prices are too expensive I got.
Denon is positioned in the high-end trs (Pioneer) at the price but does not sacrifice quality. Since the time that I have, I saw no signs of abnormal wear.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice?

Trs certainly.

How long have you use it?
10 months

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No no

What is the particular feature you like most?
The precision, size, effects, hot cues, and especially the usb!

What is the particular feature you like least?
The scratch, not great I find

How do you report qualitprix?
Really very good! Not very expensive multi-platinum

Exprience with, you will do again this choice?
Yes, BUT
J have not since that day qq on one of two decks, the cue button was sinking a bit: When pressing this one day at the bottom of the button it does not respond as well before that. We must press harder, for against the top level, it works perfectly. C is not very serious but a little uncomfortable. Just remember a good press up.

I think c is due to the rubber s sag a bit, so there is no longer direct contact with the button

2 I have for 2 years.
I tried the Pioneer equivalent ... but more expensive bcp!
the particular (at the time) to me; plaisiat most was the ability to play CDs, files from hard disk or USB key and MIDI commands.

there are some nice effects easy to use and USEFUL!
2 hot cue + cue habituel.on not make very beautiful curls (perfect, really perfect).
mode for extra scratch is not against good ... but that's not what they are told!.
access to tracks from hard disk of 500 GB is fast (once it has created a database).
The other highlight is the fact that they can move easily fly to their weight than light!
With the experience I would do that choice .... I plan to purchase a third ... or a pair of dn-s 3700.Vous can buy eyes closed.

How long have you use it?

I use a pair of DNS 1200 for 5 months.
I make the animation for 20 years, I started with vinyl (SL1200) through the CDs, I move my stuff to digital multi media. So I have some experience in the use of different readers. I tested the CDJ 850. For the pioneer plastoc sounds a bit lightweight. In the set of CDJ we feel the teeth of the encoder. This plate had a pb tt'elle or is this normal? In any case, it is an unpleasant feeling. The sound is also average compared to the Denon CDJ and finally the connection is poor (no SPDIF output relay 2 Lecteurs.Pour impossible to finish, the price Pioneer: it quiet! So Advantage Denon.

The DNS 1200 is a complete player that really fits my needs. I appreciate as a whole. The area for improvement on the rather soft DJ Manager that allows you to edit tags, playlists, ... Evolution will be desirable to compensate for lagging behind the Pioneer Rekordbox where you can prepare her curls and view the waveform file.

The value in price is really interesting: I have bought 600 euros a pair with 6 Month warranty! The seller told me that these plates did not match what he wanted. A bad choice can lead to a lack of interest or severe criticism of the product. Beginner DJ friend, not trying to make David Guetta in 3 weeks, take time to identify your needs to choose the product that best suits you. In which case others will do good business when you sell quickly. A word.

I would do without hesitation to choose mainly secondhand gear.

-Used for 2 years, some problems with "bugs" at first, quickly solved by Denon that gave me an update of the software. (Pros)
-30 Years of experience, so I could "try" a lot of material, Barthe Rotofluid
(With its double plateau "player" to silicone!) 1200 MK2 Technics (excellent product indestructible) CD Deck diverse and not always on top (TSB AudioPhony, etc ...)
The least-this player is the USB bus on the back of the player, not very practical (in darkness) in benefits live.Sinon no complaints about the overall performance of the Denon.
-Plus: compact size, search speed USB, used with its mix of dedicated console (S 1500 Denon for example) we can begin to mix very seriously.
Report-excellent quality / price to the price charged by other, it must absorb the "gifts" distributed to DJ's Stars promotionnent that a certain brand.

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>
