Solid in the 19' range

This is a great 19" mixer that I have been spinning on for close to two years now. I play psy trance and house music. Although it does not have the visual impact of a 12" mixer its functinality surpases most of them. Never thought I would find I liked a 19" mixer as a rave style DJ but its great because you can easily manipulate the chanel fader and EQ's with one hand.

The main draw back of this board is its EQ. Although the full kills are perfect I find that the roll off on the mid and high are a bit to "literal" or "harsh". A very small twist will send your highs into the harsh zone and the general sonic response just seems to not be particularly smooth. This is a double edge sword in that it works great as a sort of master EQ for the mobile DJ playing pop tunes but lacks the smooth and more subtle alterations needed by a rave style DJ. I find that only 1/3 of the travel beyond the middle position of the EQ knobs is usable before the signal becomes boosted far to much to sound natural. However it rarely if ever distorts so it is not a lack of quality, simply preference (and no its not a poor PA, I practice on studio monitors).

Overall the matrix input routing is the best feature and should show up on every mixer in the future. Tons of creative possibilities because of this. The cross fader is very nice but obviously not going to please the tablist crowd. It has a very cool rotary knob to adjust the fader curve which can in and of itself be used to make very smooth rotary style fades if you use your head about it.

Overall a great piece of gear but I think I have outgrown it and will likely upgrade to the Denon x1500s mixer in the next few years and keep this as a backup.

Good inexpensive mixer

The DN-X500 is a huge leap over the old DN-X400. The 400 was garbage to say the least. The 500 is golden and solid. I have had it almost 1 year and had experience with it for 2. EQs are infinite and cut the sound completely when turned all the way down. The faders are very smooth and the led lights are accurate. The any channel assignable inputs are the best thing about this mixer to configure where exactly you want that particular Turntable or CD player. One draw back is that the writing for some of the features is too small and impossible to read in the dark. This makes it a little hard for those who are not accustomed to this mixer to pick up on it without asking a few questions. Over all probably the best value mixer for the price.

For Mobile Guys Who Don't Want To Spend Over $500

Excellent machine. The clarity and EQ on this mixer is perfect. The design for the crossfader assignment and that you can choose what line to play on each channel is just perfect. Durable, perfect sound, and perfect features. If you're a mobile DJ and don't want to buy the Rane or Pioneer 19" mixers, this is as close as you'll get to them.
