Yes it is, I regret waiting so long to get one. I was a VESTAX JUNKIE for VESTAX JUNK, Vestax is decent but it is not PIONEER QUALITY nowhere near. For anyone that is in the market for a DJ MIXER grab the DJM-909 you will not be dissapointed. I'm thinking of getting another one after the 1st of the year. PIONEERS mixers are the best, The CDJ's should be laid to rest. PEEEEAAAACCEEEEE!!!!!!!


I co-sign on that mixer. The mixer is dope and wish I did get that mixer instead of TTM57SL which is good. I like the effects !!!

The 909's fader curve is insane.. The 707 is great too if you don't need effects. But trust me, you NEED the 909's effects... It is one of the best if not the best DJ effects unit ever made. Couple that with the mixer that is built like a tank ( It is heavier than my DJM 606 ) with faders that kill the competition........ that mixer has yet to have anything come close to it..

Give PSP Rhythm a try, people seem to like it more than Traxxpad and it's FREE!

I would look at Sennheisers. Their headphones have always been my favorite.

Made it from scratch, 2 sheets of 3/4" Poplar stacked for the top, 3/4" poplar for the cabinets, dark brown wood stain, simple rope lighting, and vinyl for the top. Actually the vinyl top is my favorite. Pretty easy to build and cost about $200 in materials not including rack brackets.
