PIONEER DJM-600 Pro DJ Mixer

It's not a true five channel but it can act as a five channel using the mic as an auxiliary connection plug into your interface using adapters to conversion plugs easily with all types of adapters so yes it can act as a five channel just know how to interface it into your daw or your djing gear ...

This is not a 5-channel mixer. Pioneer DJM-600 is a 4-channel mixer. The 5th slider is for master volume.

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 Pioneer’s 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.

At every warehouse party, club, and underground event there is only one mixer up to the task of heavy rumbling, dust storms, rugged use, and features available to be taken advantage of by a roster of DJs. I purchased my DJM-600 instead of the DJM-800, despite the obvious advantages of the 800 because mastering the analog 600 is essential to being able to DJ at events. I also take it out and throw my own events, and despite other DJs being quite harsh with it I can still use it for studio mixing without problems with the faders.Another great ability that few know about is that the 1/4" TS unbalanced outputs are at -10db and are excellent for recording into Pro Audio interfaces without the need for a compressor. The RCA record outs are at line level and can clip if you are not careful. Since the 1/4" outputs do not go through the master amplifier, the audio quality is the best of your options.Do not be fooled by the cheap Behringer knock-off. It will fall apart, lacks the outputs the Pioneer DJM-600 has, and will make others laugh at you in public.
