All user reviews for the Technics SL-DZ1200

Hello all ...

The DZ1200 is available ... since the time ...

So what? What do you think? Its a killing as it esprait?

For my part, I have seen and tested in a store from my cot. I t's too! ! To simplify ... for 1200 and a year of waiting, it is far from expectations.

Visually, the product is a Russianness! ! But when we approach it more prt ... it is the end!

Pitch Fader: too dry!
Cue Stop button: it does not work!
And most important plateau: too lightweight! It barely touches on it, the disc gets carried away! On the cot in acclrant via the platter is the same! By contrast, slowing it chelou no linares!

For comparison, the Denon S5000 (or S3000) and significantly suprieur, we almost lose it!

In short, will test the product in the shop closest to you ...

Voila! Voila! Threads started ... to you!

Hi All, I am the happy owner for 1 week with a pair of Technics SL-DZ1200, and I give you my heart Premire impressions on the product.
You STRP your ... here we go here we go!

First, we must know that I spend time rfractaire t 'ct the dark', since I use the SL-1200 MKII for 10 years now, and they give me Obviously many full satisfaction.
But I realized the obviousness, if sizes such as Laurent Garnier itself are mixing more and more rgulirement CD, play productions by young artists in club for instance, j 've seen my intrt to play my own tracks too.

I. Prsentation gnrale

Say anything, it's hard-Technics. Ms. matrial that 'classic' SL-1200, same height, same foot, same pitch button ... it is not dpays.
The central screen is legible ... even if the plate is laying flat.
I will not hang out on the subject, we know o support, even without reading the manual.

II. Ergonomics

This is probably the most important. Anyway this is what I most feared.
As Deejay House / Techno, I'm not a 'performer'. I do not Scratch. Me, all I want is completely stalling the drive and not m'terniser above. When it is cal cal APRS and all my work is done on the mixing desk.
And I have mixed feelings. No dception, but a little while of the same.
Well, nothing wrong on the set, arpond the finger and the eye as it is the same as the analog MODELS.
But my big frustration comes from two things: Premire the 'felt' that is placed on the Palteau.
There is a lightweight 'game', and especially a slide too! It has nothing do with a vinyl on a real felt.
But if n'tait as a. ..
The worst is to come: WHAT IS THIS ???????? PITCH
Nan does not care but littralement us or what?? O is pass the 'hardening' of the legendary Technics pitch?
Believe me, I'm pretty remont designers to l. It's simple, it has the same feel as a Denon, for example ... It is too flexible, and we go 5 times longer stall the drive ... and this time the pass it would prfr grind the mixer according to the crowd ...
And I'm surprised I even touch the plate to wedge the beat 'as a beginners', as did 6 / 7 years since I hold more 'than pitch' ...
Big dception this niceau-l.

BUT, not everything is black. In fact, we must 'relearn' stalling the drive is everything.
Cal because once you have the enjoyable sensation (as opposed to analog) not to have reset the Moreau then. Yes numrique oblige! It's true what, who never fail a little bit on the pitch because SL-1200-that 'it's like a'??

Little info important it is rather longish to load the CD ... and yet I only used the CDDA, not the CD with mp3 on it ... Finally it's like a, it is fast with and who is not a Drang.

III. Effects, loops etc ...

I will not be the goal trs above, almost nothing because I tried this level-l.
But I quickly glimpse the effects 'Vinyl Sim' and 'FX' is a bit useless when even ... But hey it's not what I expected either to the plate so for me it's not a serious fault.
The balls etc ... I will try soon. But it's not my thing.

However, I frankly found it excellent reverse in real time, the comings and goings is very well situated arpond is instinctive and really in the timing, well done!
Auto-Cue is also very practical, even if you have to press a little too long down the 'Remain' to enable ...

IV. Personal opinion, conclusion

Well ... it must be clear, Technics has released a product really tough. Does this justify this price? Well I think it's too expensive 20 25% even when.
Now, once one gets into the skull that the pitch has NOTHING to do with the true SL-1200, and we agree to change their habits, well, we see that it's really trs prcis.
And you'll love all the touch plate identical to it vritablement THE SAME as the vinyl. And that's the basics.
Small bet? By 2 / 3 years, all clubs in Pioneer QUIPS not leave my opinion on the MODEL Technics, reputable requires ...

Well, I leave you, I go back I !!!!!!!

Good evening ...
I have been using the approximately 2 months and nothing to say, c is the bomb!!

As for the great addition, c is mainly a comparison with what currently exists in other brands of which I taierai name.
Touch is close to a vinyl, it is true that the picth is lightweight but av a bit of practice goes ca nikel. s activates reverse mode without losing the beat ,....
But above all, finally a CD player or do you know against time!! and a sampler, it reads the sd card .... or ...

In comparison with the pioneer nettrement is more expensive, and whose ability to mix trs are much lower ... I'm really surprised at the introductory price of Sl dz, for the first CD player that is designed to vrmt to find themselves in I Love Techno, al ,.... c amnsia really is a great introductory price ... Then c is Technics they are taken some time but it come out on cd quality technics.

Well, I expect the home soon ... Sharm my best friend has bought one of these and more 3platines SL1200 and mc909. I c is in addition to my 2 SL1200 ... or, c is conceived for the stage mix, super convenient since there's always that one morc n etrouvera ever on vinyl

In response to the first message for the Stop button cue we had just read the manual. be it works well!
Admittedly, the pitch is a bit Légé Excellent but .... and if you used to it quickly!
the screen no matter what position we always see on the mm just changed direction. The reverse mode is EXCELLENT! the loop is perfect! The effect of a pe sctrach is distorted in the sound but be be acceptable if it saves the mp3 to slower speed.
The loop is exceleeeentttttt! ieure su jen!
For the difference between the color of a red cd is for Europe and blue for america ....
she reads well be in mp3 cd and likes the idea of ​​the SD card is perfect. The fact its not bad when you know not pass them if it is not sen it be nice ... but hey we each chose one has music and is perfect for worse we cal well and it's pe want to change when the musik and it rained not sen the problem.
positive side there is a choice between the mode and manner turtable platinum cd ... not much difference c May not bad ... When one is in one turntable pe have the choice of a CD or demarage com demarage has vinil! excpetionnel
Money is normal paid the price for this plate because it is already a Technics so ... You spit the money directly but the good vo ... For their first cd Technics turntable has been compared to be be strong else brand that we know how depui longtps cd turntables Technics has put a lot in the closet!
And then remind the kan ke ca CDJ1000 Pioneer released (not mk2) ct gro mess !!!!!!!!
The engine is an engine 2/mk mk 5 (mm koi!) So that a bomb nivo the ... The CDJ1000 mk2 Pioneer went for a little bo dodo!
So if you are unsure nésité rained unless vs pa do a lot of money ... I n ela council not to rap and r & b hip hop ...
It's silly it may fau read the user manual! beaucou function that does not place Metten advantageous to read the instructions!

Well what about TECHNICS, apartheid that is the mark of reference in the Dijing, what
I do this it is not always k.

You should know that the eight TODAY brand is marketing.
So to what you alle buy this product?

The biggest dj's are part of this marketing, the more it should be noted that unlike
us he did not pay for the stuff they are promoting, and it's valid both for VESTAX TECHNICS, NUMARK, PIONEER 4 mark of the good time but who remain seriously TODAY eight going for the modest sum epensser of attention for the 1290th
SL-DZ1200 for the 1699th and 1390th HDX NUMARK PIONEER CDJ 1000 for only eight TODAY
computer music is really the futures.

TODAY eight we can all do via the computer, one that is a pc or laptop or even
a mac is all going to fesable its creation with the synth arrengements with multitrack interface USB and the mix and scratch and remix j'enpasse via software and hardware more as perform with the system of venyle Time Code
and completes the production go through our good day canvas (internet) for the Abel touver created your distributor, and the worst in all this is that it deplasable via
a laptop so I was told that the pros are all eight TODAY pc then after
koi for you?

Products referenced this earmark to his most dessu discjokey to marriage and to j'enpasse
discotheque looking inconprmomie between size and utility is true that the concept is nice ergonomics good fun on the disign is good with samus
But we did not enreste of its place or live in the studio or DJ's studio scene darkens screen tros little incomplete info

the product or the product is destined for a specific public conserne my note the price too high

Yelail, I'm hooked on Pioneer. There is a 1 year I had the opportunity to buy two Technics SL-DZ1200. Being perplexed dpart the feedback, I try the DCID exprience. I think the mistake that people make and compare Pioneer. For me, the CDJ-1000 will not be beaten. But even when Technics offers a quality product that offers a different kind of work that the Pioneer.
It is unfortunate that Technics has not invested in the pitch because he is really locked sale.Pour me, it's really the point ngatif of the plate. Otherwise, with drive, we reach the master. With exprience, I would do this choice because I think it is good for a dj matriser of all technologies on the market.

- How long have you use it?

It was a little over a year
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

>> Assets:

* The look
* The turntable 20cm Diameter
* The 4 hot cue points
* The 4 Sample Pads (recording 32 sec. Per sample)
* The Pitch Lock: not seen any diffrence to the master tempo of the CDJ 1000
* The "Instant Change" that allows you to switch from stop / off mode dpart Instant / vinyl dpart

>> Cons:
* No buckles (you must set the "in" and "out" or even, when you do a live, if you miss a point of entry or exit is the cata ...)
* No "Time Remaining" when using the mp3
* Effects: avoid (personally I've never used), more if you want to select an effect in a live, they must pass one by one so it's not usable
* The compulsory purchase of software (Jukebox Panasonic) if you want to use the mp3 on the SD card. Impossibility to put mp3 on the SD card to mix ... Bizness Politik '...
* No possibility of scratching Pitch Lock Mode
* Load times and startup CD of the plate
* The brake rglage of the rear shelf of the plate

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Before the acqurir: No
APRS: testing a Pioneer CDJ 1000 (the first)> I do not know what people found this board ... She did nothing extraordinary to me APRS and the more it bugs (h yes cd decks like all I believe!). Trs plastic finish and no Cue hot ... Finally we are not to talk about the CDJ 1000!

- How do you report qualitprix?

My cot when Technics made the effort to make updates, the ratio quality price is right for me. Unfortunately, they make the deaf ears and out of an update every 36 months and when they come out, we do not know what it is exactly ...

A quote from the 'bugs' of the plate with the current v2.3:
* No Time Remaining mode mp3
* When you press play or cue point and when the deck is the stop, if the tempo is DCAL (forward or backward) the plate does not Ragit instantanment the thrust e or slowing the board. We must "wait" 1 2 ragisse it dry.
* If the "Instant Change" is active, the timing of his scratch to be DCAL during movements of the plate (n'tant not confirm a crazy scratch)

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

For the moment yes. Opting for a CD player that a turntable I have not found equivalent:
* The Numark CDX 1: not robust enough (I almost buy the egg)
* The DN-S 3500: plate too small, look through, the couple infrieur sl-dz
* The DN-S 5000: I want to try it, maybe I will pass on this MODEL ...

If you have questions, Do not hesitate because I think I have not done everything (is that ... it takes time to comment)

How long do you use?
Two years

- What is so special that you like most and least?

Plus: The hot cue and 4 sampler
The least: The massage and tempos that poor (echo) if scratch with, but hey c not the most important, it comes off. Pe plateau has little movement unpleasant games due to upper plate, resulting in a very very éloingner made of vinyl SL1210;

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

I actually tested the cdj1000mk2 I bought too, CDJ800 and Denon dns 5000, dcx1 Numark

I bought the boards expands the fact that I work with Technics vinyl for over 15 years. I was disappointed to use! As on my turntables, albeit not Pioneer, each deck its benefits, the Technics "shit".

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Okay but there is the next vintage, compared to Pioneer's prices has given you dizzy

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Ah no ... !
