4.0 out of 5 stars
Better than predecessor DJM500, November 21, 2005

The Pioneer DJ Pro mixer DJM600 is a latest offering by the Japanese electronic giant. After the very successful predecessor (The Superstar DJM500) of this series, Pioneer has added some more new features on this mixer. For e.g. The Auto BPM Counter offers a lot more flexibility of use since in DJM 600 it measures t he range from 70-139 / 91-180 / 71-180 or even a Manual option. Another outstanding feature is the STRETCH LOOP PLAY, which can be adjusted to extend or shorten the sample from the mixed track. However, the sampling time is only 8 Secs which may look like a limitation to many DJs.

Other basic but useful features includes an EQUALIZER, which has low/mid/high settings for each channel. AUTO BEAT SAMPLER is another function which is new for this series, however this feature was first introduced by Gemini in their PS series mixers. Also, the ABS record time is too short (only 6 Secs).

There is no doubt replace the workaholic DJM 500 in clubs, but one thing to remember is that like DJM 500, this mixer works/used best if attached with Pioneers CDJ series Professional CD players. As always, the Pioneer quality is superb and it is built like robust equipment to handle all the hard use.
