Not all DJs are created equal. Some merely want to blend beats, some vie for fame and fortune and a select bunch are obsessed with how their music sounds.
These sound snobs are better known as audiophiles and they’re the ones who will always give you an earful of how things have gone to crap since the DJ, music and sound worlds have moved from analog to digital.
What’s the connection with the DJR 400 portable rotary DJ mixer. None, really, I just wanted to get that off my chest. Actually, there’s a connection. The DJR 400 mixer is for the DJ who cares about sound. Sound that is crisp and clear.
The DJR 400 DJ mixer is for the DJ who appreciates a piece of DJ technology made by an artisan who deeply cares about sound, form and function.
I got to jam on the DJR 400 one afternoon when Fuki Flex brought his model over at my home studio and once I hooked it up to my sound system and played a few tracks I immediately realized that I was playing with DJ gear from a superior league.
My enthusiasm was brought to a sudden halt when the price was mentioned. 2000 Euros and the waiting line is a century long! This is a gift that will cost you an arm and a leg and I bet that the DJ in question must be more than dear to you if you’re considering this gift.
Beside the sound and smooth rotary knobs, what I really liked about the DJR 400 rotary DJ mixer was its portability. It’s hard to think that a light and small piece of DJ equipment can produce such amazing sound and still be carried without breaking one’s back.
The DJR 400 DJ mixer is an investment that will last years, just like the famed Technics SL 1200 DJ turntables, it looks good, it sounds good and it sends a message to the world that the DJ is serious about his or her craft (or that he or she has deep pockets and can afford the best money can buy).
I definitely see the DJR 400 mixer touring in my car boot (trunk, for American and Canadian friends) as I become the first DJ to circumnavigate the world by car. It’s a better alternative to all the heavy and huge conventional DJ mixers.
