The DX-1000 is one of the coolest mixers I have used so far. Extremely versatile, sounds great, built like a tank, and priced so anyone could afford it. Its 100mm faders at first seem a bit gratuitous for DJs (most of us just push them all the way to 100% anyway! :) ) but the added precision and control they contribute becomes something I wonder how I lived without on previous mixers. The auto talk-over function is cool-it automatically lowers the music volume when you talk into the microphone, then brings it back up when you finish. This works very well, is not at all hard to set, and doesn't automatically trigger if music leaks into the microphone (which of course it inevitably will!). Crossfader feels smooth and great. TIP: Another neat undocumented feature is the ability to relocate the entire real panel with all the connections to the bottom of the mixer for use in tight cases where rear space may not allow for connections.
Add to it its built in crossover and output designed to hook to lighting control packs, this mixer is a surefire winner. Probably the best mixer in its class!

I've had mine for about a week and this is a wonderful mixer! The DX1000 has the best features for it's price than any other DJ mixer I've seen. There is one problem though -- it is TOO DAMN BIG!. I should have looked at the dimensions before buying because I realize now that I don't have enough space for it. I'll probably end up returning it just because of its size. That's too bad, because it certainly has impressive features.

For those who are comparing features, the things I like about the DX1000 are:

* 5 stereo channels (switchable between 2 diff stereo sources). Compare that to 4 stereo channels that the other "full-blown" dj mixers have.
* 2 mic (mono) channels
* Gain, 3-band EQ on each channel
* Kill switch on each stereo channel
* Low-pass out (built-in cross-over)
* Tape ins/outs (can also be used as FX send/return I believe)
* Ability to control external gear (lights, etc.)
* Boost, cut switches on main outputs
* Multiple outs (mains, zone/booth)
* Great construction quality. Like all Behringer mixers, this is built like a tank.

Things that this mixer does not have that some other "high-end" DJ mixers offer:

* No BPM counter
* No sampler
* No cross-fader contour (slope) control
* No internal power supply (it uses a "wall wart")

One last thing to consider is sound quality. The DX1000 mixer has professional audio specs. It is very quiet and can be used for some recording applications. For example, on the stereo line/cd channels:

* S/N ratio 106 dB (compared to some other DJ mixers at 80 dB)
* THD .003 % (compared to some other DJ mixers at .02 %)

Overall, this is the best mixer in it's category hands-down. It is great for recording or studio mixing work in addition to DJ'ing. The down-side is that its size limits its usefullness for mobile DJ's or those who have limited space (this is definitely NOT intended for mobile jocks ... it should be considered a console for studio or fixed installation use). If you have the space, I definitely recommend it!

I have a few mixers in my lab but this company make a very smooth,very clean product. The cross fader is assignable with the X Y THING GOING ON. Its a little bulky and wide but if you can work around the size you wont be disappointed
P.S ALSO THE BUILT IN SUB CROSSOVER IS A PLUS THE MIXER IS WORTH MORE THAN THIS COMPANY IS SELLING IT FOR GREAT BUY C-YA

This thing kicks wild ass! It has nearly every feature I was looking for. The only complaint I have is the headphones split button doesnt function quite like any other mixer I've owned, it doesnt send two mono signals, one to each ear. Also, it doesnt have an on/off button. They definitely didnt skimp on the hardware, the buttons/faders are high quality and the mixer is heavy duty, it could take a missile hit.

Ive been a Pro Dj for Over twenty years Unfortunatly of late we have had a flood of Bedroom Dj mixers ( hate them and the mixers) At last a company makes a mixer for pros everything works the way it should do and the talk over is perfect. I now own five of them and untill somthing better comes along I will continue to buy them for my systems

Feature:
IT COMES WITH A BEAT COUNTER.

Quality:
THER IS NO DOUT TAKE IT ON THE ROAD....

Desirability:
I THINK ITS BEST TO SEE IT IN PERSON YOU WIIL LIKE IT BETER.

Sound:
THIS IS THE BEST MIXER I EVER HAD IT WORKS GOOD CLEAN AND CLEARE SOUND I WONT IT FOR EVER.

Feature:
To be featurefull, it is. This mixer has every single feature a crossfading mixer could possibly have besides an integrated beat counter, but a handheld unit was included in the package.

Quality:
This unit can take a lot of physical stress. I could drop it and not be too worried.

Value:
The most features for the money, but not the best sound.

Desirability:
Knowing about its noisy electronic layout makes me want it less, but i have to admit that looking at the unit and looking at the price tag makes you say "You're comming home with me."

Sound:
The channel buses are badly shielded, phono preamps are noisy and I get terrible sound leakage from the 3 phono channels that are on the same bus.

Support:
I did not have to contact Behringer for support.

Overall:
Overall this mixer is a good purchase if your needs/wants are for features, connectors, and output capacities. It is the most versatile mixer I have ever seen, and regardless of the noisy/leaky channels it offers the most features for the dollar ammount. I would not purchase this unit again if it was to be replaced.

Ok, now that I have gotten your attention. The Behringer DX1000 mixer is the bomb ! I have had mine for about 18 months, and it seems to sound better with age. I use it in my Dj/ReMix setup with my PC,and other Midi gear, and it's "lovely". The only draw back is the effects loop feature, I have my Kaos Pad hooked up, and it would be nice to be able to route an individual signal to an effect. I can only do individual effects on the mic imputs (gosh darn it !).

This is a great mixer. I use it as a part of my mobile setup. My only complaint would be it's large size. But for the price it truly is a great mixer. If you are in the market for a mixer this is the one, and as far as a place to get it, this site is the best. Their staff is awesome. I wish more online businesses were like this.
