Re: Pioneer Djm-800

I've never heard a difference between the two. Does someone have a set recorded using a Pioneer mixer then an Allen & Heath mixer or at least something where I can hear the difference?

Re: Pioneer Djm-800

Wow. that's a strange question. Would anyone actually spend the time to really find that out by doing a replica set on two different mixers.

I know I'm playing it Pittsburgh this next Saturday after the Paolo Mojo night and It'll be my second time on 1000's and my first time on a Xone 62. I'm really excited and a bit nervous!

Re: Pioneer Djm-800

Yeah. Right now I have a Pioneer mixer and there's no motivation for me to change to an A&H aside from everyone saying that they sound better.

Re: Pioneer Djm-800

Zendo next time I have one of my friends over that has a 500 I will have him bring it over. I won't do a whole set but will do a track so you can see the difference. Although I can tell you already that there will be some inconsistancies because the A&H have a line level record out where, IIRC, the 500's don't and you actually have to adjust the master level to a reasonable level but at the same time try not to be too hot.

Re: Pioneer Djm-800

for that price initially, go with A&H...or hold out till later this year and it will inevitably drop down in price a bit...

or Rane for that matter, however I do love the DJM-600 so I'm guessing there is some improvments this time around and all in all a quality mixer.

I'm consider going to Serato and Live though, so the Xone92 just makes sense for me.

Re: Pioneer Djm-800

Also for those of us on a little tighter budget but are still dieing for something new there is this!


If you folks want to see both the 400 and the 800 in action.

Re: Pioneer Djm-800

I played with this last month, it's pretty cool. It feels exactly like the 600, as far as build quality and feedback of the faders/pots.

I have to reiterate, the Allen & Heath mixers are much better. I personally think they sound better, having used the 600 a lot and the xone 62, the 62 sounds clearer, cleaner. I also know that most of the clubs in the LA area now use a xone as their preferred choice.

I used to go to this club in chicago, and they had a xone 62 set up. One week, Lee Burridge came and brought the Xone V6, and I could absolutely tell the difference: it was the best it ever sounded there.

But yea, the 92, I have never been lucky enought to use, except for about 5 minutes last month, and it was sweet too. The knobs and faders just have a 'feel' that is better, it's hard to describe, but you feel like you can be more precise with your adjustments.

In other new, I want to buy a Xone 3d and a VF-1!!
