Go the djm 500. Pioneer used to get their shit made in Japan (djm 500). Now they get their shit made in China (djm 600, djm 300, djm 3000). China means shitter quality. The 500 sounds better than the 600. better hi's. less low level hum (u can hear it on a p.a. easy). 500's r goin cheap these days and they're gettin snapped up cuz people r catchin on to the japan/ China thing.

Allen & Heath is better quality (not by that much as some people would suggest) but how many clubs actually use one? If your gonna spend a bit o extra $, get a 3 channel RANE mixer. They shit on everything + if u feel like Mix Master Mike/ Q-Bert for the day, u can scratch your tits off till the cows come home. Check out where Allen & Heath put their Gain pots..on the back panel of the mixer..STUPID IDEA!
