A state-of-the-art 32-bit digital DJ mixer jam-packed with creative tools. Click to enlarge.

Digital crossfader with flexible curve adjustment, reverse button and automatic, BPM-synchronized crossfading.

Two freely assignable and BPM-synchronized, high-quality FX engine.

Choose Your Channel
The DDM4000 struts 5 independent channels. Channels 1-4 are crossfader-assignable stereo channels, suitable for both vinyl and CD decks, and have appropriate phono/line level toggle switches at the input. All channels feature 3-band digital EQs with up to 12 dB of boost and infinite cut option, or "kill." Any channel can be monitored directly via headphones thanks to the PFL switch above the fader.

A dedicated Mic channel is provided in mono, with 2 XLR mic inputs. The vocal channel features a special "talk" feature that attenuates the volume of the other 4 channels, ensuring you will be heard over the music. The Mic channel also has its own FX section that can be applied with a single button.

Cross My Heart
The core functionality of any DJ mixer lays in its crossfader. The DDM4000's crossfader can be assigned to any of channels 1-4, and sports a 3-band EQ kill button on either side. The curve sensitivity of the crossfader is adjustable, and in the unlikely event that you wear it out, the crossfader itself is replaceable.

Step Up Your Sampling
The DDM4000's BPM-synced sampler is a sought-after addition. The sampler allows you to record a segment of incoming audio and loop it continuously without dropping the beat. Once your track is looping from the sampler, you can swap discs and queue up new tracks and mix them back in. The transition is seamless!

Effects
The DDM4000 features a stunning dual FX section that includes our patented BPM counting technology. This allows the mixer to read/display the BPM of 2 different inputs and to apply BPM-synchronized effects, such as an echo synced to the beat of the music. Effects such as bitcrusher, reverb, delay, pitch shift, and more are available, and can be assigned independently to multiple channels.

The DDM4000 is ideal for a club owner who has multiple working DJs performing on a recurring basis. User preferences like fader curve, FX settings, EQ, kill frequencies, etc., can all be set to various user accounts and recalled instantly. This feature can eliminate setup time between DJs altogether!

Swimming Upstream
When you combine the DDM4000's digital operation with MIDI functionality, the door to creative applications opens REALLY wide. For example, the mixer can be used as a MIDI controller for your favorite DJ software--or whatever else you like! Channel faders, EQ knobs, and button presses can all be configured to send customized MIDI data. The possibilities here are quite endless.

5.0 out of 5 stars this Mixer is crazy for the Price. April 27, 2009

By Desmond Walker

I've been doing studio work for several years now and
I was scared to buy this mixer, because of the name Behringer.
I checked it out at Sam Ash and guitar center for several weeks,
and I was still hesitant.

On microphone input it has 3 band EQs, compressors/limiter Noise gate,
Talk on (Music ducking) reverb, Pitch, Echo and a list that runs a mile long.

The line input has beat counter that syncs to the build in effects echo, reverb, Pitch, This is great for reggae and club music.

Some of the other features are the 32 Second Sampler, Crossover, sub- output, and enhancer, S/PDIF, MIDI in and out and it comes with rack ears. This mixer should cost thousands of dollars for what it can do.

I'm currently trying to set up the Midi control commands for Serato and apple Logic pro.

I used to be scared of Behringer, but after seeing this mixer, I'm checking out all their products with a different view.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not built like a tank, but performs like one June 28, 2011

Received this mixer in amazing time, 2 days from order to doorstep with standard shipping. I'm a performance dj, doing multiple club events thru out the week as well as doing my own events during the month so I need a mixer that will take night after night of abuse. I've read where some people don't suggest this as a club install, but with optical faders on the channels and the ability to upgrade to optical on the crossfader for less than $60.00 this mixer can take a bit of abuse. One thing that grabbed at me is the ability to customize your outputs for pretty much any scenario. Having storable user presets is also good, when you have multiple dj's with different mixing styles, getting back to your settings is as easy as a few button pushes. Sound quality is amazing, no signal hum. My mixer has one flaw but I'm guessing that'll be sovled by upgrading the crossfader. Tracks are only cut out on the right side of the mixer, but I compensate for this by using the crossfader assign. Besides all this the mulitiple kills, effects, and ability to customize the the set up of the mixer and outputs make this well worth the money. Fader knobs, and eq knobs do feel a bit toyish but with all the features packed into the price the build of the mixer can be over looked, just don't abuse it too much.

Mixer update...Aug 23 2011

So I've had this mixer for a little bit of time now, since I first purchased it I have upgraded the crossfader to the optical crossfader which was easy to install and is operating amazingly.

New things I've found..Okay so I've done a bit of midi mapping it to tracktor using the center 2 channels as normal, the outer channel faders 1 and 4 are my pitch faders, and the eq kills on either side of the mixer are assigned as my cue, and play. I use the effects buttons for pitch nudge. You can play around with this as much as you want but I've found it flexible for mobile applications.

As a club mixer this thing has been amazing. It's held up to night after night of abuse, and the ability to change your outputs thru the mixer has eliminated the need for my crossover in my rack unit, i still use compression and gating but its freed up a rack space so i put in a multiband graphic eq.

All in all this mixer has performed well beyond what I had hoped it would and it pairs up great with any large format cd player...currently mine rests between two american audio radius 3000's.

If you're in a crunch for cash but want something that will not only get you by but you'll be beyond satisfied with then this is the unit for you. Perfect performance, suprising durability and amazing sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great mixer for the price October 14, 2009

By E. Zelkowitz

This mixer is exactly what I hoped it would be. For the price you really cant beat it in features. Despite it being under the behringer name which in the past has made some very questionable products this one seems to hold up nicely and I have no complaints nor have I found anyone else with any. The only issue I have is with the bright leds, I had hoped that since I had made this order a few years after this has been in production that I would receive a newly manufactured product since the newer runs have different leds that are not as bright. Unfortunately my unit was produced over a year ago and still had the bright leds. There was no real way to guarantee this so this is not a complaint against the shipper, but just be wary that you can end up with a few extra bright leds.
