Theyve both got features to be desired for but the DJM hasnt got a booth output, instead its got two main outputs which i assume would have to be at the same volume meaning recording and broadcasting could be an issue. The extra channels seem quite appealing for the numark. Also I currently have a behringer djx700 which is a 4 channel mixer and going to a 2 channel, small pioneer might feel awkward. But I suppose its between Pioneer or Numark hope someone can give me some advice cheers Catch my radio show 4pm every Tuesday.

The Newmark is cool and makes a great sound but without the booth output will definitely cause broadcasting problems as I've recently found out myself  & you can't really go wrong wrong with the Pioneer. It's a great mixer but it comes with a big price tag to match! What does everyone else think?..... T Check out my show - Every Tuesday 6-7pm - Funky - Sexy - Dirty House Music!!  | ||

What mixer do you have? I am really beginning to like the look of the 5000fx though Catch my radio show 4pm every Tuesday.

I think Im gona go for the 5000fx, simply becuase I will get much more for my money and I have the flexibilty of adding turntables to my setup etc! Catch my radio show 4pm every Tuesday.

If it's down to that and the DJM400 then the Newmark definitely offers better value and a lot more toys, but see if you can get an extended warranty! I had a Newmark mixer a couple of years ago and the effects stopped working after about 6months. The good think about the Pioneer is they are V reliable. Have you considered the DJM 600? It has an almost identical layout to the Behringer that you already have but it really is top quality!! Check out my show - Every Tuesday 6-7pm - Funky - Sexy - Dirty House Music!! | ||
