A Legend
The Pioneer DJM-800 is legendary even today, examples of these mixers well over a decade old still run as good as when they were first manufactured. Not to mention this mixer was the one to really the set the gold standard in the late 2000's that just about every single Pioneer mixer since has followed. All of the effects sound awesome and hold up even today, sound quality can't be argued with. The build quality of the 800 is quite the thing to behold, playing a set behind one of these certainly inspires a good deal of confidence.
