DN-X600 or X1600???

I’ve seen nothing but rave reviews about the X1600, but being that its twice the price of the X600, Im not so sure I can justify buying it. Does anyone have any experience with the DN-X600? or would someone like to help persuade me in why I should buy the X1600? lol

I’m currently in the market for a DN X-1600. What you’ve got to bare in mind when comparing these 2 mixers is that one is a 4 channel mixer (X1600) and ones a 2 channel mixer (X600). What are you planning on using it for/what gear are you wanting to hook it up with?

Spend a little extra and get the 1700 … I hear there’s a brand new one up on the buy and sell page!! :wink:

Both of these.

FYI I wish i could get a X1700 for the same price as you guys in the states can, over hear its almost double the price of the X1600!

Get a shipping cost from Ben.

Ben? If it’d work out cheaper significantly i’d definitely get one!

Where are you located Towifer?

South Yorkshire, UK!

The shipping weight of my 1600 was 22 lbs Ben if that helps you get an estimated shipping rate.

I can get a DN X-1600 for £830 over here, so if I can get the DN X-1700 for slightly more i’d definitely take it!

I am planning on doing a setup of 2 decks and a X1 in which I dont have immediate need/plans for. I wanna get the feel for analogue but I wanna be efficient and versatile (aka cheap and cost efficient) at the same time. After looking at more pricing the X600 is actually 2/3 the price of the X1600 @ retail, which begs to differ the added amount in the 1600 is worth it.

@djproben: If only I had the money right now…

I just did a rough shipping calculation and it looks like about 250 USD shipping. I’m trying to sell the x1700 for 1300 USD but will go down to 1200 which would make it about 1450 with the shipping, or roughly 875 pounds. Not sure what other fees might come into play for you though?

(note the above is really rough based on a guess of 30 lbs shipping weight and guessed dimensions; I’m not at home with the box in front of me but PM me if you’re serious and I’ll figure out the exact dimensions and costs)

I have the DN X600 and have tried the X1600. If you’re planning to go for 2 channels, the X600 is the obvious choice. However, the X1600 has some added functionality besides the 2 extra channels which might help you decide:

  • Midi on/off switch per channel (on the 600 this is a combined signal)
  • Extra strips of midi only buttons (4) and endless rotaries (4) in 4 banks
  • Few more effects
  • Adjustable EQ bands

Pretty big extra functionality I reckon for the price.
