Replacement Knobs for Denon X1600???

[blackavenger]

So I just bought a new Denon X1600......I LOVE it!
Best sounding mixer I've ever had.
Brightest & most accurate VU meters I've seen on a mixer in it's price range!

But, because of those bright VU meters I have a hard time seeing the position of the
EQs when playing in very dark environments. It's strange, you would think that it would
illuminate them better, but it doesn't, it just washes them out, like they're not even there.

I bought some Yellow Chroma Caps for the Volume Faders, so that's covered. But,
unfortunately, the X1600's Potentiometer Posts won't match up w' the Chroma Caps
so that they would represent their true frequency value.

Do any of Y'all have any ideas for brighter colored knobs for the X1600's EQ section?
I thought about just painting the existing ones a lighter, brighter color, but that's kinda'
ghetto, and besides I would be worried about the paint eventually flaking off and getting
into the rotary Pots & Sliders. I also thought about just getting a small LED light, but I've
had those in the past, and they always end up broken, lost, or stolen.

I need some help Ya'll.......THX in advance.

+1, if anyone finds some let us know. the DJTT faders fit fine, i have a glow fader atm and will be picking up more my next order.

If you live in the US, you can always get tons of cheap/free lights from Harbor Freight.

Don't know about knobs though.

I would kill for a FAT "Croma Cap" style knob for the filter..

+1
I have a DN-X1700 and absolutely love it!!! But I would very much like replacement knobs. Bright colors etc. give you a visual cue in low-light situations as to what knob you are actually reaching for.

The DJTT Faders fit ok...not perfect, but ok. The knobs are oriented in the wrong way so they are totally useless.

Also, +1 for DJTT encoder knobs with NO INDICATOR LINE Please!

I would also like a solution to this, as I see it will become a problem for me in the future (only got the mixer a few days ago)

I was absolutely tearing when I seen that the DJTT knobs wouldnt fit

Are most knobs universal the way they fit? I mean like do DJTT just make the one type of fitting knob?

[MrPopinjay]

How come the DJTT knobs don't fit? Do they sit too low or does it not fit on the stem or something?

[Jester]

they fit but for the denons they have the same issue as the A&H & pio mixer i.e the indicator lines are offset.

[MrPopinjay]

Ah, that sucks. Can't really fix that so easily.

Nope.

I was hoping that someone could chime in with a different mixer whose knobs would fit the X1600/1700
and happened to be of a lighter shade than traditional black. Hell, at this point I would take any color
other than black. Does anyone know if Ecler knobs would fit and not be offset? Those knobs on the
EVO-4 look just as beefy as the X1600's, and they are silver....LOL, those bright silvery things could
probably produce their own light in a dark club/rave.
