Does anyone know if Denon will launch new hardware in the near future ?
I am a DJ and electronics engineer to that have a small workhop for servicing Dj Hardware and professional audio / lights gear.
After two years of usage of Denon Gear Dj Hardware and after experience to service this units, here is some tips for improvements that we like to see in the future Denon Dj Gear.
SC6000 players are great but needs some improvement:
For SC6000 normal Jog version, there is a lot of room for improvement, I will pick some things that need to improve:
-
The Jog Wheel feeling needs to be improved along with the feeling adjusting sistem.
-
The Jog display needs to be improved to show BPM and other crucial info like the new Rane four/ performer.
-
The CPU and memory needs to be improoved for thightier response in Engine stand alone software.
-
The feeling of CUE/Play buttons needs to be improoved.
-
There is a plenty of room to improve the main screen resolution / colors / touch response.
-
Needs to update the USB ports to USB C standard.
-
Posibility to switch the sources between controller mode to stand alone mode in realtime without need to restart the player, like Pioneer CDJ3000 or XDJ XZ / AZ sistems.
-
Dedicated stems buttons.
-
Modular CUE / Play PCB for ease change of the micro switches like Pioneer players design.
If you have other ideeas for improvements, please ad it.
SC6000M with motorized platers improvents:
-
All improvents described on top for SC6000 normal version.
-
Improve the motor / plater sistem, improve to something similar to RANE Performer new controller with display in middle.
-
Improve motor smoothness to solve the warble / distorsion issue in Serato with motorized platter on and Pitch in Time ON. This issue ocurrs when you use the players with Serato an motor ON in a enviroment with a lot of subbass in the Dj Booth.
-
Improve motor electronics / controller to solve the SC6000M older version failures.
X850 Improvments:
-
Improve the faders quality, on present X1850 the faders quality is very low and have a very short life, In 2 years of usage I have changed the faders two times.
-
Improve the displays reliability, they often fail after 1 year of usage, I have changed the displays two time in two years of usage.
-
Improve CUE buttons quality, they often breaks and loose from their position, I have changed this CUE caps three time in 2 years of usage.
-
Separate faders plate to acces faders from the top of the mixer for ease reaplacement, like the Pioneer Dj mixers.
If you have more ideas, plase share.
What do you think about this improvents that I have described ?
Thank you !
