DJM 2000 or Denon dn-x1600

Hey DJTT,
As the title says, I would like to hear your opinion on these two mixers:slight_smile:
In my country the DJM 2000 is quite cheap and are therefore compared with the dn-x1600 instead of 1700.
What do you think of them? How is the effects? How intuitive is the layout, when you are mixing etc.? And last but not least, which would you go for (prefer)?

best regards,

It should be said, that i have two technics sl1210 mk.2 and I’m going to use the mixer with Traktor:slight_smile:

As for now I use an S4, which I’m going to sell, to buy one of these?

I’ve also looked into the Xone 4D is this a better option, than the others?

Well if you want to use DVS, the Denon is Traktor certified but the pioneer isn’t.

That’s also my biggest worry about the DJM-2000 and thats why I looked at the Xone 4D as well.

Yeah, have you got a traktor cert soundcard? Still I’d take the 2000 over the denon any day of the week and just get traktor scratch sc anyway… When you play out you need the sc

Today, I use an S4 with the 1210’s and therefore don’t have a SC:slight_smile:

I would have a hard time picking between the 1600 and 4d. I’d probably end up with the 4d for the filters and huge midi control possibilities

You not feeling the z2? I must say its kind of tickling my fancy. I wanted a djm 900 but the price and reviews I’ve seen of the z2 look pretty win

DJM 2000 Nexus, I believe that’s scratch certified :slight_smile:. And personally as an old S4 owner, the Z2… it’s like ehhh. I haven’t used one, but I FEEL like it’s an S4 without the platters.

The faders feel much nicer on the Z2.

The DJm-2000 is even more expensive than the djm 2000:disappointed: I have looked at the Z2 and something tells me that a Z4 is on its way!:slight_smile:

So its up to the DJM 2000 or Xone DB4, i kinda think the Xone layout looks a little messy?

Get the Xone DB4 it’s the best mixer on the market. You won’t regret it

Why not get a DJM 900? Traktor certified and I own a 1600 but if the price were the same i’d have the 900!

I have a db4. Made the decision I to go for that rather than DJM 900 / 2000.

While the DJM 900 is scratch certified, and the 2000 nexus should be, there are ways round getting the db4 into a dvs set up without needing a new card.


(Excuse the mess, need a cable tidy)

Personally I am very happy with my db4. And would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a high end mixer.

From what i’ve read, the DB4 is the best mixer available, hands down. No questions asked. Bar none.

I chose to buy a DJM-850 because of the cheap price I bought it at, and because I wanted to get familiar with club-standard gear. If neither were an issue, I would’ve gone for the DB4 in a heartbeat.

Damn the DB4 looks good! I’ve also only heard good about the Allen&Heath quality!
XS2man Thanks! I definitely didn’t know you could DVS with the DB4, which is something I really find important:slight_smile: Is must agree that it’s stupid that the DJM-2000 Isn’t scratch certified… I’ve also looked at the DJM-850. I live in Denmark, and I’m going to by the mixer in a second hand store, and the only djm-850 I’ve found are sold with CDJ’s which I’m not interested in:-/

I’ve just stumbled over the Rane Empath BLACK, for a very good price, what do you think?

Then I could buy an audio 6, and route channel C and D through the third channel on the mixer and beside that have a Maschine “or kontrol x1”, for fx, samples and hotcues? any thoughts?

nobody used the Empath and got thoughts to share;-D

I’ve never used an empath myself but Rane mixers are tanks.
