Behringer PRO MIXER DJX900USB Professional 5 Channel DJ Mixer with INFINIUM 'Contact-Free' VCA Crossfader, Advanced Digital Effects and USB/Audio Interface, Compatible with PC and Mac

Bought this to replace my Newmark mixer which was 30 years old. This mixer is easy to use and has a facility to use 3 phono's, which is great for me as I do 3 deck mixing, it has crystal clear sound quality and has plenty of inputs and outputs for various devises. Also when using the headphones it has clear sound and enough volume to enable you to cue your music up comfortablyI recommend this mixer.

Excellent quality mixer as I use 1210's and digital sources 👌 it's very simple to use, the sampler couldn't get much easier it's short samples help u keep the tunes flowing if u find u ran out of record haha!But the main thing i like is the crossfader functionality it's awesome 👌 😎 how u can assign every channel to A or BPERFECT mixer for scratching very responsive and can be set to suit anyone's style 👌 100 percent worth every penny

Where to start? First of all I bought This to replace my old Pioneer DJM600. The DDM4000 is packed with features and it is only about 1 inch deeper than my previous mixer (which i found annoying as i have no room for over hang at the back of my set up as its against a wall) but i digress!! the main reason I bought it is because it is the only one I could find for the price with MIDI connectivity (less than 250quid new!! I've looked at 2nd hand mixers with MIDI going for 500quid+) so value for money is superb in terms of bang for your buck!! But is it any good?First impressions on opening the box, it looks impressive as it has loads of buttons and knobs. The first thing I noticed is the central (12oclock) position on some of the pots is slightly of centre and most don't feel overly sturdy to the twist/turn. The overall build quality is very reasonable (keep in mind the price of this thing) the second reason I wanted this is because every channel is switchable between line in and phono which is exceptionally handy. Again making the connectivity on this mixer excellent. Overall build quality is very good. The faders slide nicely and the cross fader can be upgraded to an infinium fader for 20 or so quid which is nice.The big switch on....I plumbed in all the cables as required and switched it on. All the lights came on as they should but the first thing I noticed was a humming so I turned down all faders and realised quickly that the earth grounding connections for the turntables doesn't seem to be very good. I will investigate further and maybe see if I can earth my decks to something other than the mixer. So it's a negative on the grounding pins. At first glance the overall layout seems fairly logical except the headphone jack is in a ridiculous location. Whoever thought it was a good idea to place it where it is clearly didn't think it through, so again another negative point on that. The effects unit is fairly good but it doesn't seem very easy to use at first but you can figure it out fairly quickly. Overall the effects are ok. There is no gate which is no big loss and I found the flange and pan effect to be less prominent than the likes of the Pioneer effects. I'm no expert but it feels like the frequency sweeping is less than that of pioneer's equivalents!! The kill switches are decent and I like the transform buttons (located in the bottom right corner) all the other features are good and all work as they should.MIDI.As previously mentioned this was a big tick for me as I want to connect it to Traktor as a control device. I purchased the Roland UM-one MK2 MIDI to USB cable which i connected to my laptop and traktor recognised the mixer (after a few driver installs and a re-start) which was also nice.The DDM4000 has 4 sections you can use as MIDI CC inputs but the downloadable PDF doesn't really go into to much detail but there is a mapped diagram that comes in the box. Not all the knobs are assignable and the main issue with having it connected to traktor is that it seems very difficult to have the faders assigned and be able to have each deck in traktor have their own PFL on the mixer which doesn't help for mixing. I can hear the master out in the headphones but not each individual channel and there appears to be nothing to very little online to help with this.Definetly worth 220 quid and if I can figure out how to get it to cya individual decks through the headphones whilst using traktor I'll be very pleased. As for longevity as to how long it will last remains to be seen. I've seen reviews on here saying it was faulty on arrival and others say they've had it for years and love it. Time will tell. But if you on a budget and need a 4 channel mixer i rate this very highly when you look at other brand new 4 channel mixers for 220 quid.

I do want to upgrade from this mixer as it isn't what I desire from a mixer personally, BUT all that aside it is a brilliant little mixer looks tidy does what it needs to. With the PFL Master button it helps you to keep a close eye on how much sound you're pumping out to your master before it goes out anywhere which is always ideal to keep the quality! X-Fader and switches are brilliant for smooth transitions and scratching (obviously not top quality, but still very good) its a mixer anybody could be happy to buy as a quick way to get their fix of music! The Quality of the vinyl rips I did with this mixer was all so completely flawless I played it in wav format (as always) and it sounded accurate there wasn't a single flaw for this mixer for me. There was a few cool other features such as fader range controls for the X-Fader as well as range switches for even the channels! At its price brand new and boxed its a steal!

The mixer seems well made, however the BPM counters are as much use as a chocolate tea pot. These counters are the major selling point over other mixers on the market, but they don't work. They just churn out random numbers with no connection to the music being played.I wanted a refund but was out of Amazon's 30 day returns policy. Also Behringer are useless with their customer support. You can't speak to them directly, you have to post faults or questions on Music Tribe website, which is also useless.

Great value

This product is perfect for the bedroom DJ, not only it is the club standard layout, for the price you can't beat it. We all no that pioneer is just too expensive, so this is perfect combined with a pioneer RMX-500 and two CDJ's you've got yourself club standard gear and some of the effects that the pioneer gear has, this mixer is like i said perfect for the bedroom DJ, or even if you've got a tight budget. I'd seriously recommend it. However just to balance my judgement out if you are planning on using the effect's without a external effect unit, it's really fiddly and they just straight up sound rubbish in comparison to the pioneer gear. Even then the combination i just mentioned (if you are going to be using effects) is quite close to what a pioneer set-up is like, but for less price then a mixer from pioneer! so think about that. So, if your not going to be using effects this will simply be all you need, seriously if you don't want to use effects, this is just as good as pioneer gear. Scratching will work perfectly fine with this, and generally i'd say if your not using effect, there is no reason at all to get pioneer gear. Overall i'd say that this is simply the best emulation for getting club standard gear, as well as full upgrade ability in all sorts of areas on the mixer or even if you're are on a tight budget.
