"PROFESSIONAL mixer for professional applications. You will pay a professional price."

Feature:
However, it could use a curve adjustment. Thats my only addition to this mixer i'd like to see. If you scratch, you want this. Hard to crabb scratch without a tight curve. Also, the BPM counters are not the best. I use it to beat count my records then label them, not to match my mixes while I'm in a set. However, they'll be close and could prove useful if youre a beginner dj. Everything else is great! ALOT of output ports (rca, 1/4", xlr) Proves great for the club with a more than average complex sound system.

Quality:
Very, very good. I've actually used several of these mixers in several differant clubs. They all have differant degrees of use, but even the most beat up djm500 i've use, the thing was still bumpin' out the beats....this thing is a tank. Its also very heavy like a tank. It maybe part of the quality behind this product. It is not flimsy.

Value:
This mixer is expensive...there is no doubt about that. There are a few other mixers that may have the same features, but dont be fooled. If you are on a very tight budget, but your needs are not in a club with a huge sound system, or if youre not doing heavy recording, you'll probably want a differant mixer. BUT, if you have professional needs, you'll need to pay that professional price. There is a saying that you get what you pay for. This mixer proves that.

Desirability:
Every club dj should want this...regardless of what type of music you spin. If you dont want this mixer today, you will want it eventually as you get better and more experianced. If your intentions are to become a "turntablist" (a dj who only scratches) you may want a differant mixer..one that is designed for it...this one is for club/recording use.

Sound:
Sounds great! faders are smooth feeling and sound consistant. If you have this mixer for years, under heavy use, the faders will start to get sticky. A little oil fixes it. I scratch alot and its been two years with the same crossfader and it doesnt bleed yet! WOW. Also, the output gain (a dial in the back) will get static in it after extended use. CLEAN your mixer on a regular basis...this should help.

Support:
Im just going to say the best here. I've never called pioneer for service. i assume they're good.

Overall:
Once you get this mixer, you'll never want to replace it. If you do, you'll just want the djm-600. it adds a crossfader curve switch, and a few more FX modes. the 500 has everything you need anyways. I've been mixing in top clubs in the seattle/tacoma area for years...and MANY of them have this mixer. They cant all be wrong. I personally have a problem with its heavy price tag

About This Product!
Description
This is the mixer top DJs have been waiting for. Explore a new world of sound by linking effects to the beat with the Auto BPM function. The DJM500 and CDJ Series make the perfect system for creating the ultimate in club or house party music.

Functions that Push DJ Sound to the Limit

Auto BPM Counter - Only from Pioneer
Let the digital readout confirm what you already know by ear. The Beatst-Per-Minute Counter measures the BPM of virtually all kinds of dance music, enabling you to check the tempo at a glance. Linking widely differing types of music is easier than ever with the Auto BPM Counter.

Auto BPM and Effects
Delay: A single repeat of 1/2, 3/4, and 1/1 beat music can be overlaid over a track. For example, with 1/2 Beat Delay, four beats will be increased to eight, while using the 3/4 Beat Delay produces a "leap sound" effect.

Echo: Repeatedly overlaying beats of 1/2, 3/4, and 1/1 is simple. Cutting in 1/1 beat Echo can create an intriguing fade to the beat; applying it to the mike causes microphone output to be reproduced repeatedly to the same beat.

Auto Pan: The left-right balance can be changed automatically to the rhythm as rapidly as you like. Auto Pan can do rhythmic switches too quick for human operators.

Flanger: Switching to the Flanger effect produces synthesizer tones quickly and easily.

Pitch Shifter: The Pitch Shifter corrects for changes in pitch within a range of +/- 1 octave when using analog turntables or other vendors' CD players. Used with the mic, the Pitch Shifter can alter voices.

Reverb: A variety of reverberation effects are available.

Send/Return: Your samplers and peripherals are easily connected to the DJM500.

Effect On/Off
With one touch of the Effect On/Off button, effects are linked to the rhythm.

EQ For Each Channel
The DJM500 features a 3-band independent EQ for each channel, allowing for simple correction, emphasis, or even elimination of different sound characteristics.

Peak Level Meter for Each Channel
Source input levels are given instantly for each channel.

Beat Indicator
The indicator lamps tell you when the beat you want is linked to the Auto BPM.

Fader Start Play
Connecting the DJM500 to the CDJ Series allows you to take advantage of Fader Start Play; by increasing the Fader on the mixer, the player will automatically override the Pause control and start the music immediately. Fader Start Play also works during Cross Fading, an industry first that brings out the best in sampler-style music.

Fader Back Cue Play
When the DJM500 is used with the CDJ Series (excluding CDJ50OG and CDJ500), the Fader or Cross Fader controls can also return you automatically to a designated cue point if desired. By fading Cross Fader back and forth or Fader up and down quickly, you can give the "essence" of scratching a certain point on a vinyl record.
