All user reviews of 5/5 for the Pioneer CDJ-400

I use it for several years. I just switch to the nexus 900 and CDJ 2000 so I took the opportunity to give my opinion.

It's Pioneer: all comes to hand, the DJM 400 is a "small DJM 800" with a very good box effect. I just regret the switch the mic is not very practical use (open mic you forget).

The CDJ 400 is the 1st tural platinum Pioneer truly digital: She launches "clickable" knob used on all the jog is small but very efficient and usb connection for MIDI nickel.
It integrates a sound card which simplifies connections with Traktor.

There the USB port facade that is a bit long if you have big keys.
All in a custom flight in the colors of the brand.

For me, a very versatile as well rgy adapted for the mobile disco, pro, beginner, using apps, emergency rgy ..... in short, a good product and especially compact and ger!

The price quality ratio is relatively good for the Pioneer.

The CDJ 400 is primarily a product of entry-level professional platinum, and must be judged as such I think.
Indeed, although it is not the level of the CDJ 1000 and Big Sisters, the cdj 400 is comparable to the price, because except for the jog which I think is its only major flaw (too small asse and not nervous), it is of a similar type to the other cdj.
It completely respect the expectations of a pro as amateur dj, and offers the same basic services and essential dj than any other model in the range.
It is perfect for the discovery of the mix, and also agree to pro. She taught me to mix, and it is this that I made by hand (club mix now and prod), I have no regrets. From all my rookie mistakes, it does absolutely not.

The more unlike many I would say that is the price, as a model as good you will not find better at this price.

Is probably the least latency USB key, the lack of display (screen too small, no first hand of the song it's a shame ...).

10 notes that I attribute:

8 / 10 for the grip
9 / 10 for sound quality
6 / 10 for the jog
10/10 for buttons (similar to any other products, and a remarkable robustness)
9 / 10 for format compatibility
7 / 10 for the speed of USB charging
10/10 for Connectivity
8 / 10 for the price
9 / 10 durability, 5 years, tjr no problem with her, in great shape

As for the price, I advise you to buy not more than 650 euros, you can easily find
With the experience we always choose (or you want to) the models above, but this product is that like many CDJ.

Hello,

I use these plates for 2 years with a DJM 400 for flight home.
They are connected to a MacBook with Traktor Pro: near-zero latency and excellent.
(I also have a Kontrol X1 for effects)

I love their compactness (with the DJM 400) which is a real plus in discomobile.
I love Midi HID compatibility allows seamless integration with DVS: the screen shows the details of soft .... it's really complete.
And finally I find complete ultra: CD, MP3 via USB and then USB connection for softs and sound card very good.

I find against it by a little heat.

I'm glad these models, to me well over 350 toy that really .... apart Recordbox. Good on the other hand Pioneer, still too expensive!

I bought this new Platoche in 2009.

As for the other models tested, no I have not done, I stayed on the Pioneer since I started but I tried for 2 months a Audiophony CDX6, too complicated and problems with it. I have owned the cdj 100s and a cdj200 cdj 350. What's more, aside from the quality of the plates either in the solid sound quality, everything is good.

Other people will see in Pioneer expensive machines, where you pay the brand, I do not quite agree. Yes it's expensive, but when I see that I have owned a CDJ 100 s for 5 years with no problems with regular use, others do not necessarily. Another example, the keys are hard plastic and strong, other brands of caouchouc that bar at the end.

So yes all apparaeils fail, I am not an electronics but I'm sure. But there are devices that last longer than others.

Regarding features, everything has already been said. I like the three built-in effects, it scratch the function, reverse. Good after I use it almost not be said that the scratch is not perfect and precise it is better to buy the models above.
What happened to me interesting is the USB port because it's convenient, it is not constantly trying to burn CDs, and also the display of titles that I is compulsory from 'working with the mp3.

As against what I find disturbing is the waiting time before reading the USB drive if it has a lot of titles.

Price / quality ratio, I find it a bit expensive like all Pioneer products, but as I said above, the quality is there. With this machine, we're going to Essenciel, not something useless or difficult to resolve.

As for the choice, I do not think I will redeem this machine for two simple and practical reason, not because I had problems:
-The first thing is that this model not been manufactured since replaced by the CDJ 350
And the second reason is that I can not afford to have old hardware, so I repeated frequently, but as I said in the first reason, we find nine more.

- How long have you use it? I have since yesterday
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The +:
. The precision of pitch (from 0.02 to 0.02 mode + / - 6%)
. The possibility to connect a USB key or hard disk drive, really very practical
. Perfect loops, easy rgler in real time. Never touch platinum cd before, it took me 5 minutes.
. Size: not really bulky

le-: uh ... If even when the effects from the bubble, the other 2 are not INTERESTED I got trs.
- How do you report qualitprix?
Let's say it for 600 euros j'esprais rponde my expectations, it is.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
All done, I do not comment regarding the scratch, I do not Scratch!

- How long have you use it?

For 2 weeks.
- What is so special that you like most and least?

What I like most is that this unit is "mobile", I explain:
I am a mobile disco and this deck is really good for this because it is compact, light is easily transportable.
The jog is very good, as the whole way!
The effects are nice, it works.
The least? ... I'm looking for ... no, RAS!

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Before, I was operating with a laptop and a Dj Console, I also tested before I buy the 800 Mk2 and I must say they did not make much difference to my taste!

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Correct, yes Pioneer knows sell those products, me good, when you love, you do not count! (Visit the German sites, there are good deals to be had!)

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, without hesitation, and coupled with a DJM 400, it's really a good investment!

Hi all: a little feedback on the CDJ400?
then here:
I've had it for 3 days;
Do j'aprécie most:
-Very incisive: a prssion net and his party as dry / denon home but also with espève rubber on most keys I lose sensitivity.
to say I have a left and right stanton C304 CDJ400's.
-His tail, his "strength (the time will tell), its buttons.
Speed-the "read head '
"I always said that I did not scratch but I've discovered that it was very easy (on the concept trasition any con).
It must: I put a loop on rnb approx 100 bpm, I Shrunk the fly and I find myself in electronics to 134 Bpm.
-This is also a question. critics say that the mk3 has the advantage to save the cue. But when I put marte memory card on pc least, I have a folder with PIONEER "cue". I understand it? mk3 => 400 => mk3

What I like the least:
-The display BPM does not even vigules. is 128 or 129, the rest ... you démerder. Fortunately that mix with the ears.
-Having to juggle between effect and pitch.
-If it plays audio CDs, and mp3 to usb: Why can not we play a song wav via usb.

"I had tried my bah dns 3500, the cdj800mk1, and just for a good mk3 1/2heure before I cdj .....
I found of a very good price / quality ratio. what, you tell me?
I make it short:
Stanton bought a C304 in the United States to 400 euros there 2 years ...
AN denon dns 3500 bought in France there are 800 to 1 year and a half ....
A Cdj 400 acquired in France.
if I take into account changing market and dates: Only the stanton who left me on my hunger.

I would do without hesitation that choice, I just take a second ...

Finally,
A tiny platinum (did you want to Triballi everywhere), incisive, and a SimpliCTI disconcerting for me .... beyond a MK3.ceci said proportion of time spent on both.

cdt, XS

I've received since yesterday .... I can say after hours of intensive use qque: GOOD FOR THE SERVICE ..
I am a dj and dancehall regea what I like most c quality of the pitch .. it is a phenomenal precision ... the level of scratch is more than adequate for a machine of that class, even if it is not clear that the plate c ferat me to become world champion sratch!
The disign is EXCELLENT, the finishes are exelentes, no play at the wheel ... read scratch perfect .. mp3 compatibilté your HD ... need I say more apart that my girlfriend is jealous since yesterday because I think I'm falling in love again ... with my new cdj 400! lol
RAPORT the money is perfectly good for a machine of this quality ..
I reffer this choice without any hesitation ... small development has all those who will think I am a pioneer of business ... I always mix the material on the brand competitor namely denon .. (dns 1000 ; dns 3500). A word to the right mix and hello to all!!

- How long have you use it?
2 days

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
most, the jog (Denon much empty compartment used), the strong overall, the USB recess, the perfect loop 4 times ...
the least, a two details or ... I apprci display a peak reading of the title, and buttons made of paper, provided to customize the jog are horrible! (Apart from "pro DJ)

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Denon DNS 1000

- How do you report qualitprix?
If we do not possde or you do not know Pioneer, we can find a cheap, but I quickly forget the price, we'll see the APRS reliability over time ...

Yes, certainly I sduit by Pioneer, perfect for lctro / house, associated with a DJM400 is hell.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

CHARACTERISTICS for I love the most:
- The sensitivity of the jog and are touchbr /> - function fairly scratch russi
- The precision of pitch and its stabilitbr /> - r loops and the adjustable buckles 4 time (I think it's more the platinum LE)
- The effects JET, ROLL and WAH
- The usb to usb cls
The rapid-loading the cd, sisi is much faster than my ex-numark
- The size and weight for transport
- Aesthetics and the illuminations of the Jog DIFFERENT
- The soliditbr /> - as well as all other CHARACTERISTICS found in the range cdj

For CHARACTERISTICS I like least:
It inappropriate for the Scratch Jog
-Fast forward mode usb
-The usb Midi, which may be too innovative software vendors mix n'taient not quite prt
We can not diffrencier point of the loop of a cue point

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

This is my troisime pair of platinum cd before I was working on a CDN and 22 on axis 4, but we must admit that a change!
Also in stores I've experienced a cdj 1000 and a pair of 200.
I also had the opportunity to mix on CDJ800.

- How do you report qualitprix?

Honntement hurt at the time of checkout, but in the end we realize that this is worth Platinum prices, we are dealing with a quality product. Despite some points ngatifs I noted it in ESG nothing to the mix.
Compared to other models I've experienced personally, I find it trs "effective" and is well within the range of piopio for a price attractive enough at home.
So it's a solid, almost complete and reliable.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?

With the same budget without hsiter.
With a few more years and a budget consquent more, I will take will of the CDJ 1000 MK4 but hey, the problem will always be the wallet.
I have long before this rflchi honntement machine but I am far from being the.
