I have the DN-X1600 now over two months. i work in the lest 3 years with : DJM-800, DJM-900, TTM57, XONE 92. and i have one thing to say - the X1600/1700 is the best mixer in the market right now except the XONE-DB4.
This mixer is amazing, denon its underrated company. I give a brief review about this mixer:
Sound - great warm sound. very similar to the excellent A&H XONE series. 9/10.
Upfaders - long, smooth but not loose. great upfaders. 9/10.
Crossfader - Vestax class. i very surprised about the cross. the 4ch mixers (djm,xone)
provide a nice cross but not one to impress scratch djs. the X-1600 do this. 8.5/10.
FX - the weak spot of the X1600. the DJM800/900 only plus over this mixer. i have many things to say about the fx section but really its to much to write. 5.5/10.
MIDI - the best midi-mixer in the market right now. better than X1700(no separate midi section. and better than DB4.
95 percent on the mixer is midi capable. even the crossfader, the line section midi mode is the most brilliant mixers tech i see lest two years. 9.5/10. it could be 10 if the mixer was percent midi.
MIC - 2 great preamp. the ducking is brilliant, its more than just talkover. the eq mic section its combined for the two mics - its a little bummer. 7/10.
Matrix Input - in one word? WOW! in two Words? Fucking WOW. i do nasty things with the denon input matrix system. the XONE DB4 emulate this function from denon and they know what they doing. 10/10.
Built Quality - the one thing is worried me before i purchase denon mixer. but i mistake in big time. its a Israel army tank. 9/10.
My conclusion about the DN-X1600? - the best mixer in the market except the XONE DB4.
the pioneer djm series over priced and certainly good like the xone and denon latest mixers.
everything on this mixer its simply great - except the FX.
The DENON company earned my as a buyer.
