Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
For sound quality, build quality, and variety of features the mixer is a must have for the "dj mixer under $1500" league.
Sound
The sound is incredible, crystal clear, with masses of headroom.
Features
The input matrix is great. You can have one input play on all 4 channels if you wish, eq them differently, add effects to one, assign them to the crossfader however you like. The mixer is so adaptable. The effects sound great and are easy to use. The presets are remarkable. You can change the headphone eq settings, changes to eq ranges of the highs, mids, and lows knobs. You can add new effects. The screen is very helpful too. The USB plug in has been invaluable in adding desired upgrades.
Quality
This one's solid as a rock. The quality stands out as soon as you open the box.
Value
This blows the Pioneer 600 out of the water. It should be twice as much.
Manufacturer Support
I needed advice from Support to get the software update. They were helpful and quick to respond.
The Wow Factor
Play with it for 30 minutes and you will rob a convenience store to buy one.
