For any dj that is trying to figure out what to get, look no further.
The DJM-400 is hands down one of the best mixers an amateur can get a hold of. It has most of the features of the higher end DJMs, but with a lot less confusion.

It's very simple to start with the 400. 2 channels, cross fader, eq...
It even comes with several effects, all of which are processed at a high quality and sound amazing, even when you crank the effect level up all the way.

It's built like a tank, but it sure is a lovely sight to look at.

For the dj on the rise, i recomend you get one of these, and a pair of CDJ-400 and you will be all set to rock out a killer set.

The DJM-400 is a fantastic little mixer. I have had mine for over a year now, and have not had a single problem with it. I appreciate the great onboard effects and the ability to quickly snap/sync the effects to the beat of the music. Onboard phrase sampling is superb in full CD quality. Smooth faders and knobs, adjustable crossfade characteristics, and feather-light crossfader give it a great feel.

I don't like the fact that there isn't an XLR input for the mic and there are no XLR outputs for your mains, only RCA.

I highly suggest getting the CDJ-400's with this mixer, they were meant to go together.

I love this mixer and the effects. I sometimes use it to eq some of my older cd tracks. Sure it's only got a 3 band eq, but I find it sounds better than some of the DJ eqs I have owned. Pioneer is truly quality. One thing about this mixer is that it will not lose value. I still see them going for top dollar on certain sites. I never did receive the manual for mine, but if you're into music, you'll figure it all out.

On par with Pioneer quality. Don't think I need to say more. Nice little mixer, especially for beginners.
I find about 3/7 of the effects mostly useless. Would be nice to have more (useful) effects. I guess that's where the DJM600 and DJM800 come in.
Overall, very well designed product.

I have had my mixer for several years now. I was kind of surprised at how short the manual was and I didn't feel like the manual really inspired me to experiment with the, so with that it's left up to you. The mixer is small, heavy, and just...I really marvel it. There are times when I go "wholly, crap...$6oo dollars...$600 dollars, I could have bought a mixer/turntable/speakers combo for that much. So for a starting out DJ...I would not recommend this mixer. There are cheaper mixers with about the same effects and with technology getting better every 6 weeks, there will be a lot of knock offs. This mixer DOES NOT HAVE KILL SWITCHES...which I over use too much anyway. The roll feature is not only a ROLL feature, but you can change the length of the roll to about 4 beats or to a constant hum and is has a sampler. there are 5 banks for samples and each bank holds about 4 beats (Depending on what the BPM (Beats Per Minute) is. The lower the BPM the more memory it takes up and you get less banks to store them in. After a year of buying this mixer I kept questioning myself and up till a year ago I finally stopped. This is quality and I paid for it. Why would I go spend it on a mixer that I know will have a broken knob in a year??? I love the EQ (Equalizer knobs-High,Mid,Low) on this as well.

-Thanks
