My trusty ol’ Behringer DJX700 has seen better days. It was still working but some things just didn’t do anymore: Channel 3’s phono input had a dead right channel, the pre-listen-selector buttons of channel 1, 3,4, main out and the fx-section had some faulty contacts. The crossfader was exchanged ~1 year back so that was working still fine. the line faders were also running smooth and without any problems.<\/p>\n

In order to get an idea about what’s going on inside the mixer I had to remove the front panel. Using some leftovers of thin cable to remove the caps was one of the better ideas I had that day.<\/p>\n

The inside view didn’t surprise me too much. It’s Behringer so you know there will be hot glue inside. Lots of hot glue.<\/p>\n

\"CIMG9907\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fortunately, Santa Claus brought us a new hairdryer which I could use to soften and remove the glue between the connectors (don’t let my SO know about this).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course: I am the one to get scratches from using hot glue and a hairdryer<\/p>\n

\"CIMG9910\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s the naked board. Not too much to see here.<\/p>\n

\"CIMG9916\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At first I thought about replacing the faulty buttons with new ones but I really didn’t have enough energy to look out for (and order) the correct buttons…..<\/p>\n

\"CIMG9918\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…that’s why I slaughtered the frequency-kill-buttons left and right of the crossfader. I really don’t think anybody besides EDM DJs uses these to a noticeable amount. If you want to cut frequencies there is still the ordinary eq-section left, after all.<\/p>\n

\"CIMG9922\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Neither did I repair the broken phono input. I just made sure it’s obvious to not use it anymore withe Behringer’s best: hot glue.<\/p>\n

\"CIMG9942\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only a few leftovers. Everything’s cool.<\/p>\n
