About the E&S DJR 400 FX

The E&S DJR 400 FX is a four-channel analogue rotary DJ mixer, hand-built in Jérôme Barbé's Paris workshop and conceived with DJ Deep as the first portable rotary mixer. Mixdown ranks it among the most revered mixers in the world of DJing, and E&S builds no more than a hundred units a year, which is why it is so hard to find. Hiring the E&S DJR 400 FX in Madrid or anywhere in Spain lets DJs, clubs and promoters play on it without having to buy one.

What it is rented for

It is the mixer of choice for house, disco or techno sets in clubs, vinyl parties, listening bars and festival stages where the DJ asks for a true rotary. It pairs naturally with Technics 1210 M5G or Technics 1200 MK7 turntables, Pioneer CDJ 3000 players and Funktion One systems, with an Iso Stone + Squash under each deck to isolate vibration. The FX version adds per-channel effect sends with a single level-controlled return, ideal for hooking up an AlphaTheta RMX Ignite or an external delay and working dub-style effects live.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the DJR 400 and the DJR 400 FX?

The FX version adds an effect send per channel and a level-controlled return, as the block diagram in the E&S manual shows. According to Japanese retailer Shimamura, recent FX units also include cue/mix and cue LEDs, while the earliest did not; ask us about our unit.

Does it have a microphone input or channel gain?

No. As bonedo's review points out, the DJR 400 has neither channel gain controls nor a mic input: the whole level range is handled by each channel's rotary pot. If your event needs a microphone, ask us for an additional mixer from the catalogue.
