It's also about reliability.

That's why I liked firewire 800.

And that's what I mean. The rest of that gear is Pro gear not necessarily for the DJ... But DJ specific gear like CDJs controllers, mixers etc are all or mostly consumer grade connections. TBH all of our industry's gear should have been XLR & Powercon ages ago. Not just mixer outputs or mic ins...

I agree... However personally for me I feel that I get a lot more gear that I need and use into a rack setup. I never liked table top setups. I started at with 1 in the late 80s, but after going to racks, even big racks... The setup was faster, easier and allowed for more gear including active...

Thanks Bren! It's been too long. I'm coming out of retirement. I was always about quick turnaround and setup while using the best gear possible for the job. That was the goal for all the systems that I had designed for that company. I could see your point but for me it was never about that...

Yes, it was a nice piece, but is also no longer made. Sad really. I always felt the Denon offerings were superior in feature set, equal in quality & way more reasonable in price than the Pioneer offerings. Pioneer really wasn't in the rackmount market. They just made a select few pieces.

That's why it was disappointing that they discontinued these units. It was one of their worst decisions IMHO. The 6000 is nice and so is the NV. The D4500II was a good concept for the DJs late to the digital party. But the death of the HC4500, left a gaping whole in the market. Honestly I feel...

I like the 6000 as a small rig or a backup piece. The last version of the system I designed when I worked for Mike up in CT had a MP25 & dual HC4500s with a BU4500 tray system. With it I could control 4 decks in Torq (what we were using at the time). I also had the option of Megaseg (which we...

Imho I that the HC4500 is better than any of the current offerings out there, unless you are Turntablist DJ.

Personally I've always been more a fan of the sound & flexibility that I get from Rane & A&H. I used Mp24s for years. I loved the Mp44. My favorite was the digital Mp25. The live board I worked on was an A&H Zed14. I loved that too. I also always liked the Xone boards. Personally I was never a...

And as for the mic inputs, I completely agree But that's where highend rackmount components come in to play. More flexibility than that is intended with a one size fits the majority all-in-ones.

I can understand Ricky, but as a mobile I actually used all those high end bells & whistles. In fact back in the very early days, of the DJ Idea Sharing local live events in New England and during my time working with Denon, I demonstrated how many of those features could be used to make mobile...

Very true Proformance. Many DJs were always sound challenged, but I saw myself as a sound guy and a DJ. The new status quo is about DJs being the next Tiesto or Deadmaus. Who play preproduced sets to thousands of people. The industry had changed so much.

While it's a bit off the OT. I saw this and had to respond. This has been a pet peeve of mine since I began my industry hiatus a few years ago... While I like the NV and the Denon 6000s, I have to completely agree with this statement. Back when I was freelancing with Denon DJ, someone above...

Thank you.

Lol. Thanks SVO, Dan, Jeff... Yeah, I figured after 6 years it was time to come clean. Lol That and the statue of limitations is up. Lmao It's been a long time. I've been away from the industry for a few years. It's great to be back. And of course ODJT was my very first stop.

This age old mystery has been solved... Yes, it was me! How's it going everyone? Miss me? Been way too long.

Hello friends... Long time, no post?

While I'll agree that that is true in general, in terms of a specific security exploitation, the best bet is to keep updated to the latest stable security release and you should pass unharmed. WordPress is no more or less secure than anything else. They do respond very quickly to security...

Happy Birthday!

Only if you don't keep it updated. Always use the latest stable version of WP and you'll be fine. Especially when dealing with 2.9.X security releases. It's a 1-click upgrade! Generally what happens is an exploit is found. Then WP is updated to protect against it. Then people use the exploit...

Hey Mike! I subscribe to the theory that overkill is a good thing! LOL

But the pimp coat won't fit me! :sqconfused: I have actually seen various other people promoting Ben or NLFX on Facebook as well. I promote many things on Facebook, not just Ben, but I am always glad to help out a good friend who has helped me out. Besides, I think it might be Ron. He'd...

Um... Sorry. :sqembarrassed: Lost my head for a moment! It won't happen again... :sqerr:

"MAKE IT SO, Number 1!" :sqlaugh: You know, only us Certified Denon DJs, know about the hidden feature that allows you to launch a photon torpedo from one of the 10,000 buttons on the 2500 at the guy who puts a drink near your setup! LOL
