[quote]Bax Shop, a Dutch DJ Gear shop, has discovered that with certain headphones plugged into the mixer, the entire DJM-900 no longer works. It looks like this is related to the headphone impedance.
My guess is that Pioneer can’t solve this with a firmware update and that all mixers need to undergo a revision, since all shops are asked to send their stock back to Pioneer. This is unfortunate for all people who preordered their mixer and of which some already received it. They probably will be asked to send it back too. They could just try to find out which headphone to use and which not to. But this sounds like a tricky situation in which I wouldn’t want to find myself.[/quote]
i’m pretty surprised that something like that happened! that seems a little silly that headphone impedance can ruin an entire mixer!
as for behringer, well their next model looks almost exactly the same as the djm-900, so maybe they already thought of that kind of mishap and put it in already
Seeing as the DJM-900 hasnt even begun shipping worldwide and the ones being recalled are the store demo models, i highly doubt this will effect the popularity of the mixer for club installs.
last night was the first time i used this new mixer in a club and was shocked to see it freeze on me 3 times in the middle of the set and all within 10 minutes of taking over. the solution was to turn it off and back on (5 seconds)
this is a serious party killer especially as i couldn’t figure out why.
any guesses would be appreciated. i like pioneer mixers but this one for me is a shitty experience and all the extra they put into it doesent account for its instability.
When they released the 909 they were marketing it with the Scratch Perverts. The same Perverts that made the Euro-Scratch famous. But Pioneer failed by not implementing a channel swap. So when Prime-Cuts wants to do an Euro-Scratch he has to connect his decks reversed, which can be quite uncomfortable when mixing. So after that epic fail and the fact that they didn’t incorporate a lot of the top-feature of the 909 into the 900, I knew this mixer will be nothing for me. And now this (waits till Pulse appears who tells everybody that it’s not a big deal)…
“Pioneer is known for it’s reliability” my foot
this is probably the biggest fail that I have seen yet… >.> other than gemini allin1 cdj systems looooool
