Djm800 vs Djm700

I've been searching around the pioneer site US and found the Djm700 which looks sweet and wanted to ask you guys which one would you choose,,,the 800 costs 2100usd and the 700 1600usd ...not too many differences regarding the specs as shown on their site.

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

for the price difference alone the 700 hands down.. not enough difference in specs to warrant paying $500.00 more for the 800

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

That's what i thought ...i mean if the spec differences are no big deal then why spend $500 dollars more for a bigger display screen...or whatever more the 800 has... Thanks Dj jelly :CrackUp:

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

Not to hijack this thread, but why would you seriously spend $1600 for the 700 when you could get the Xone 92 for around $1300.

I would really consider this mixer. I actually went from the 700 to owning a Xone 92 and the sound quality/feel is night and day IMO.

If you're a pioneer type person, then I guess you'd go with the 700.

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

Not a pioneer type of a person really. i have an old vestax pcv275 which im really happy with it (solid mixer IMO) but its time for me to get a better mixer with the effects etc and better sound quality. i think you got a point here about the Xone92 Homs. I actually thought it would be much more expensive than the 700 . Not going to buy this in Xmas though but later on will sureley invest for a new mixer.

Thanks bro

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

I have an Xone:92 and a Pioneer DJM-800. The 800 is better to be honest, it's tailored to the work with the Pioneer Products; DJM 800/HDJ-2000 etc. I would go for the DJM-700 though. As my DJM-800 has these four useless blue buttons i never use. :)

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

was just at Guitar Center yesterday and they had the DJM800 for 1400 i think it was.

But personally I don't think I've seen a dj who really uses everything the 800 has to offer. And most things you would wanna do...the 700 can do just beautifully.

It's like an a affair mate. Pioneer have nailed it on the head. Yet the 92 is an amazing mixer. Everything pio has offered dj wise post 500/600 is amazing. Like i said i have 92 sitting a box i dont use because my 800 is Versatile.

Oops, I meant to say I went from the DJM 600 to the Xone 92... I've never used the 700.

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

if you look on those sites you'll see JUNO records put in there too. And you know where they are located.

#1140077Post 15 of 34

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

the 800 doesn't have 100% kills on the eq, which eliminates if from any serious mixer conversation.

xone>pioneer

#1140089Post 16 of 34

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

Another one for Xone92 :D....so why do clubs choose the pioneer over the A&H ?

#1140160Post 17 of 34

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

^^^ effects possibly... some djs i guess dont know how to use or dont want to use the efx 1000 maybe?

hyde park cafe in tampa had to switch out ther Xone when Garnier played because he prefered the djm 800

#1140190Post 18 of 34

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

Every rider for every dj i've booked over the past several years called for the Xone 92 or Xone 62. I'm certainly not seeing the "clubs choose pioneer over xone" thing when i travel either.

xone>pioneer[/quote]

That's one of the things I look for in a mixer. It's funny that the DJM400 has the full kills on the EQ. But the higher priced versions don't have.

Speaking of EQ. I really dig how the 92 has a 4 band EQ, and one specifically for sub sounds.

#1140385Post 20 of 34

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

I wonder why on earth they didn't add this function on the higher priced ones :no way:

If i were to buy between the djm700 and the Xone92 id definetely go with the second one.

#1141947Post 21 of 34

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

another vote for the xone 92. it craps all over the 800, and i own the former and have played on the later more times than i'd like.

[quote=BobbyJassi;690716]my DJM-800 has these four useless blue buttons i never use. :)[/quote] The filters are fucking great. Huge waste not to utilize them. Just a small amt of res and they are clean. [quote=Jenks;690931]the 800 doesn't have 100% kills on the eq, which eliminates if from any serious mixer conversation. [/quote] :roll: I hate EQ kills. They always sound like shit and are obvious in a mix. There really is no reason to completely kill any band of EQ imo. It completely alters the sonic image of the track. (which may be what you're going for but just isnt my style)

I find plenty of mixing options with the 800. You can use the filter in conjuction with the EQ's for the desired effect AND have an echo or delay running.....

I have experience with several A&H's and the 800. I prefer the 800. Its layout is much more user friiendly and I utilize most of the effects. jmo.......

#1142542Post 23 of 34

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

Well when mixing a few tracks together. You might wanna do an on the spot remix to have the kick and bass from one track and the highs and mids from another track. That's one reason for full bass reducers. I have heard a few mixes, mine too, that when you do an EQ reduction of the low end it always sounds weird. But I still do it anyway, as it helps grab attention.

the sound quality on the 800 is arse. get yourself a pioneer efx 1000 and the xone 92, you can do everything the 800 does, and it sounds 1000x better.

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

couldn't have got a better review anywhere ... thank you guys now i will start saving pennies and plan on buying A&H by 2012 :Blazed:

#1147433Post 27 of 34

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

they are a bit expensive. but sometimes you can find a gently used one on ebay. And most of the people that have these treat them way better than i've seen people do with the pioneer 600's.

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

my mate got his A&H on ebay, brand new with rotary knobs for 1100

#1147647Post 29 of 34

Re: Djm800 vs Djm700

Oh I'd like to have the one with the rotary's, mostly just to mess with people when they get on it. LOL.
