Need a good quality sounding 4 channel DJ mixer inside 1000$
Hello I’m looking to buy a good quality sounding DJ mixer inside 1000 $.
Currently my eyes are on the DJM-750 and Xone 43C. But i read that the DJM-750 doesn’t support Traktor Pro.
I need a mixer to connect with my pair of XDJ-1000’s.
Are there any other mixers, that you people have used, that fall inside my price bracket, which are of good quality in sound and build and are 4 channel. Effects are not a top priority.
My Style is House music mainly.
it all comes down to personal preference once you get to this point… pioneers, xones, denons.. they all sound good just have different layouts and features. i personally am a xone guy so i would even look to find a xone 42 at a good price before hunting for the 43
Any mixer with internal audio interface is supported in Traktor. But, to be able to use timecode vinyl/CD to control decks in Traktor, the mixer must be “Traktor certified”. DJM-750 is not Traktor certified.
Since you use XDJ-1000 in HID mode to control Traktor (or better said: you will), that doesn’t matter for you.
Since I’m a Denon guy, I would recommend Denon X1600.
The Denon X1600 is a great mixer - built solid as a rock (it is a bit heavy if you’re going to toss it into a bag). Reasonable sound quality, easy to setup with Traktor. I got mine used for $500.
I have not used the MIDI mapping features - but that is a really powerful set of features if you are willing to put in the time to learn and setup the MIDI maps.
Do you mind elaborating on that? In a completely unrelated context, I’m looking at a DJM 750 myself (if a used one pops up). I’ve heard some gripes about it in terms of sound quality, but that aside, what are the advantages of the X1600?
The x1600 is a fabulous mixer with a wonderful x-fader with innofader level cut in, is traktor scratch certified, has an input matrix (so. use. ful), has a great midi strip for traktor control, fantastic channel faders, the list goes on. Great sounding mixer too, supposedly allen and heath had a lot to do with its creation at the time (same parent company?).
Nice, clear, responsive metering, an fx loop, and access to the very cool beat breaker effect denon is known for. On par with / trumps the djm-850 in some respects.
Recently had to search something in the X1600 manual for a friend…the number of setting a user can adjust is…WOW
Just for mic you can setup the routing for booth, ducking level, response speed and crossover points for the EQ. I honestly did not know you can set your custom EQ points on it, let alone for the mic. Just look at the list:
Thank you for all the replies.
The Denon 1600 seems to be the top choice for a mixer under 1000$.
However, at the place where i’m located, the price of a 1600 is slightly higher. Its somewhere around 1250$.
The DJM-750 is under 1000$, while the DJM-850 is around 1800$.
I guess ill have to do some more savings to get the 1600’s.
A bit out side the box, but maybe consider a traktor s8. You can hook the xdj to it and use its internal mixer, and even have access to all the effects
