Denon DJ DNX1700 4 Channel USB DJ Mixer With Effects

”Cutting-edge” and “Flagship” are two terms often associated with Denon DJ. From the revolutionary spinning platter design of the DN-S5000 to the worldwide standard for mobile CD playback – the DN-D4500; Denon DJ has paved the way by applying numerous technological advances and features to products designed for the working DJ. The new DN-X1700 is no exception.

At first glance, the DN-X1700 is a standard matrix club mixer consisting of 4 CD and PHONO inputs, 4 digital inputs, 2 microphone inputs, 2 master outputs, booth and recording outputs and more. But it’s the levels of sound quality and incorporation of forward-thinking performance features that make the DN-X1700 Professional Digital DJ Mixer the ultimate performance tool for top-flight professionals.

Every detail was considered and no corners cut in designing the DN-X1700 and its accurate sound representation. The mic amp, with its own discrete transistor configuration, incorporates a low equivalent input noise of 127 dB while even the phono amplifier has a 89 dB signal-to- noise ratio, all due to its own discrete FET circuit configuration. And at the heart of it all, the power. The DN-X1700 employs two extremely high-end, low- noise R-core power transformers for the analog circuit with Denon DJ custom designed electrolytic capacitors.

Furthermore, film capacitors designed to enhance sound quality and high-precision metal film resistors round out the power circuit, resulting in sound quality that is overwhelmingly high and breathtakingly accurate. Unlike any other DJ mixer in its class, the DN-X1700 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit DAC (digital analog conversion) at the audio output stage. Even the world’s best-selling DJ mixers, CD / DVD players and home theater systems boast only 24-bit DA conversion; 32-bit conversion provides additional “headroom” in the conversion process, providing an analog output signal with greater resolution and frequency response. The resulting ultra wideband output signal makes the DN-X1700 one of the best sounding pieces of digital audio equipment ever made for the DJ market.

Headphone monitoring and the output sound, power it produces are essential for all DJs alike, which is why no costs were spared in this important area either. The X1700 offers a very High Power and Ultra Clean Headphone Circuit with Built-In Discrete Transistor Push-Pull drive. This low Impedance drive buffer circuit is generally found in very expensive studio boards, which covers an array of Pro Headphones on the market with an impressive spec of 400mW @ 40 ohms.
