    Default Pioneer DJM909! - Need some help/advice!



    Pioneer DJM909

    We believe that this is currently the best performance DJ mixer on the market. Incredibly versatile and durable faders are perfect for even the most demanding turntablist. Couple this to a unique effects processor with 50 presets and the creative possibilities are endless.
    Complete control of fader contours
    Unique x-fader with weight adjustment
    Session input and balanced outputs
    50 effects with fader control

    Price: £795.00 VAT inclusive

    ------------------

    I'm thinking of buying one of these mixers... what do you reckon? Anyone used one or heard any complaints about them?

    I love the DJM600. But I may have the chance to get something better, so this mixer will be it.

    Hope one of you can help!

    buy it,
    although this isnt the voice of experience i have had a little play with the faders and they are scratch quality faders. plus combining the new effectx engine that the djm-600 just dont have. it has a digital lcd display on it ffs.
    lol
    very solid build too from pioneer.
    i want one myself and i reckon this is the only mixer on the market that covers every possible use of a mixer.
    scratch dj, mobile, effects, trance, techno, breakbeat,
    does everything.
    think theres only this and the pmc-37 that are worth considering at the moment for home use dj's.
    :clap: buy it if ya can hakka, im jealous already.

    Cool man. I agree in that it looks a well round mixer. It's a solid design, crisp sound quality and has effects.

    im almost sure there is no middle on them mixers,plus the mixer is more for scratch djs than anything else.

    stick with the 600 or the A&H if i were you,more of an all round mixer and club standard.

    i have to agree here, it's mainly for the scratch dj's, plus it's only 2 channel. You still cant beat the 600

    Ok fair comments! what about the Pioneer DJM707 then?

    And in comparison to the A&H Xone 62, is it worth loosing the flange effects (which I think are wicked!) for the Xone 62?

    Let me know what you lot think! it's your comments that will push me in either direction!

    the 707 is again a scratch mixer, i would still go with the 600, and spend the extra money on something else

    had a good mess around with the 909 on the weekend and although it is more for the scratch mixers it really is a lovely mixer to use.

    not totally keen on the effects panel as its all quite fiddly and done on a touch screen at the top of the mixer.600 handles all this better. And also its only a 2 channel mixer too so forget about that 3rd deck.

    smooth as you like mixer though,the faders on it are sweet and everything else seems to do its job perfectly.

    id still go with the 600 tho.

    Overall the quality of pioneer has gone down now that they get china to build their products. they used to get their shite built in japan. Check the back panel to c where it's made. Something to think about anyhow.

    i used to own one but sold it....

    it's an ok mixer... however i scratch alot and think that the upfaders should be the same as the cross fader..... as i'm used to hammering both ups and cross, the upfaders are just like standard pioneer faders... - i.e. crap!

    thats the reason i sold it..... however someone who mixes more would definitely love this mixer as the upfaders would suit them fine...

    peace.
