the volume level is infinate, distortion is never a factor. i use both a behringer equalizer and enhancer so the sound cleans up very easily. the headphone jack also produces more than enough volume for any venue i've played.

can't possibly name them all!!!

i've beaten mine in to the dirt on some nights, playing for up to eight hours in a row with no noticeable degredation. (if any at all)the crossfader however, does not compare to that of a battle mixer. i'm on my third right now, heavy scratching seems to beat them up kind of quickly.

in the dance music scene a pioneer mixer is almost always the norm because of it's versatility and ease of use of built in effects. the price is steep, but it has any and everything you could ever want in a single mixer. i have no regrets.

company is fairly large and hard to contact during busy hours, but helpfull and quick to keep the consumer happy.

when you see it at numerous clubs and events it automatically raises the want level, but it is a beauty! both the silver and black are sharp lookin. it just screams cool points and boasts with style.

Hardcore

No matter if at home or at a party, this mixer has never disappointed me. I know there are a lot of people out there saying that this mixer doesn't deserve to be the industry standard, but for my needs as a Drum and Bass DJ, this Mixer delivers.

From the Faders to the Knobs to the Connections on the Back, this mixer has everything to ensure a perfect set up. The effect unit sounds great, if you know how to use it. The BPM counter helps when determining different styles of music. And one really important feature left out on many mixers: volume indicators for each channel, a definite must. My only 2 gripes are the missing kill switches, and no Input Matrix.

After using this mixer for 3 years, it is still in 100% working condition, definitely built to last. Faders are smooth and the knobs are responsive. Even though I don't scratch, people that have used this mixer for scratching were always surprised at how well it handles.

I bought this mixer for a grand (in dollars), back in the day, and I'd still say it was worth it. Currently there are a lot of comparable but cheaper mixers available (TASCAM, DENON, ECLER, NUMARK), but I highly doubt they are as easy to use, and reliable as the DJM.

I haven

I have the silver model, and it looks perfect next to my silver Technics. The overall feel of the mixer is also spot on, nothing feels cheap. A lot of my friends are jealous of me having this mixer, and are really considering buying one themselves.

The sound quality is pretty good, no complaints

Other then no 1/4 inch outs im very pleased with the features, but I do think that the headphone jack is in a terrible spot. It should be mounted on the front like someone previously mentioned.

The layout of this mixer and the 500 are the best I've ever played on, the only better mixer I can think of would be the Allen & Heath.

In my opinion the 500 had better quality, the faders just dont seem to be as durable as the faders used on the 500. The crossfader is also horrible. I like the fact that you can easily replace all the channel faders by simply removing a few screws, same way you would replace the cross fader.

I think the price should be a little cheaper considering that they no longer make the 500. But what can you do.

I havent had 2 use their customer service. But I heard it takes forever 2 get anything repaired.

This mixer is the bomb, I wanted it bad. But i must admit, Id rather have an Allen & Heath.

This is one of the best mixers for house and trance music but i dont think that it is made for Hip-Hop and R&B sound.

There is only one thing i wish it had.Is the possibility to assign the sample to a chanel. And it would also be nice to have effect EQ

When you pay over $1000 for a mixer you know it MUST work but if you are still not shure just look at the brand.

What you pay is what you get.

It looks like professional instrument.Simple but effective. Djm 909 looks better but it is much more difficult to use.
