DJM 700 over the 800

hi guys,
so i just sold my dnx1600, and looking into getting
a Pioneer mixer , are the color effects on the 800
worth the extra $$$? i can get the 700 for $590 shipped
and the 800 for $915 shipped.

I can see u use a x1 with traktor!!!

Because I wud ‘personally’ go for a 700. I use one every week at the club I play at on Fridays and have used the 800 at other gigs and there’s not much in it for me!!!

I use traitors effects anyway so the dim fx r pointless for me!

well the club that i currently play at has the DJM 800 and CDJs , i dont use traktor much anymore since rekordbox, but would like to have something at home thats decent and can take some abuse if taken to another club

The 700 I use on Fridays is toured around with my mate who I dj with! It’s quite solid!!

It’s up to u! I quite like the 700, especially for the price nowdays

5

i kind of like the 700, its almost identical to the 800, i just dont want to make a mistake future wise, wishing i bought the 800 instead, im torn

6

There’s not that much diff, bar the fx panel

Thanks for the link

if you use filter sweeps get the 800.

Xone 42 is the amazing for the price Amazon.com

both the djm 700 and 800 are a big step down from the x1600, although i do like the 700 over the 800 personally, and the 700 is still in production, unlike the 800.

12

actually, ofcourse in my very own opinion the 800 feels way better built, knobs, faders and overall quality is way better on the 800 to me and i wouldnt choose a 700 unless your on a serious budget.
the 850 is quite good value for money if ur going to use traktor!

+1 on the 850. badass mixer

14

Yeah 850 is really out there , deff looking into the 800 , according to you guys 700 would be a loss , thank you

15

FX are largely a personnel preference. I had a 1600 and liked it’s effects better than any of the Pioneer FX.

16

I’m guilty of this but I fell for " gotta have all pioneer stuff " , I already have CDJ 900s and the 700/800 would compliment them

17

I was even looking at the xone 92

18

i personally dislike the Xone 92 i have played on them so im not just making asumptions.

i will be honest and i think their sound quality is better than the pioneers, but practically i find them annoying…

the is no real crossfade contour wich i find very disapointing, the eq on button i dont understand why have a dj mixer if your going to switch of the eq?? the headphone cue isnt very helpful either, and asigning channels to the crossfade is awkward aswell…

for those reasons i dislike them even with their supiorior sound quality.

the only fx you have on it is the filter which is not really a problem for me as i have the x1 for that.

this is my view tho its not really a good match for my style, im pretty sure the fact richie hawtin uses one will mean a lot more then i think LOL

Thank you! I’m not the only one. Just sold mine - good riddance.

i forgot to mention the annoying 4 band eq, which actualy slows down my mixing
