MAIN FEATURES
CONGRATULATIONS! You have purchased the
DENON DN-X400 DJ mixer from DENON.
1. CH. Fader and Crossfader start
The CD player can be started or stopped simply by
increasing or decreasing the level of the CH fader
or by using the cross fader left to right or right to
left. (This function can only be used when the
DENON CD players DN-1800F, DN-2100F or DN-
2600F is connected to the DN-X400.)
2. Digital outputs
The DN-X400 allows you to record directly to CD-R,
MiniDisc or a hard disk device through it’s exclusive
coaxial and optical digital outputs.
The digital outputs maintains a constant 16 bit / 44.1
kHz signal.
3. Track mark
Track numbers can be added at any position during
recording onto a digital recorder using the DN-
X400’s digital outputs.
4. Enhanced input/output terminals (Analog)
8 Line, 2 Phono, 2 microphone systems, 2 Main
outputs, Booth/Zone output, Sub woofer output
and Rec output are provided independently. Effect
in/out terminals are also provided for a external
effects processor.
5. 3-Band equalizer/Gain
Bass, Mid, Treble and Gain controls are available on
every input channel.
6. Crossfader contour
This feature allows adjusting the “shape” of the
Crossfader response from a gentle curve for
smooth, long running fades, to the steep pitch
required for top performance cut and scratch
effects.
7. Mic post
This feature will pass the Main Mic signal into the
Booth/Zone, Rec output and Digital output signal
path.
In the OFF mode, the Main Mic signal will not be
routed through the above outputs.
8. PFL (Pre Fader Level)
This feature provides a means to adjust the input
level gain of each channel to avoid over loading. By
making this adjustment in advance will insure a
smooth transistion between cross fades or channel
fades.

INSTALLATION
When the DN-X400 is mounted inside a coffin or DJ
booth, we recommend leaving a 3 cm blank space
above the mixer if possible.
