Advanced Features

High-reliability Design Features tailored for Professional Use and Ease of

Operation

From the minute you power up the DN-X1700, you obviously notice that

this is no ordinary DJ mixer. A large, bright 3.5 inch color LCD ensures

that all information can be quickly and easily identified in any condition

from low-light club atmospheres to festival stages in bright daylight.

Additionally, the headphone amplifier employs its own discrete transistor

and provides high output power of 400mW at 40 ohms to deliver

surefire monitoring in any loud environment.

Each channel is complete with a 6 position Matrix source selector

enabling the use of any of the 4 input sources per channel and a high-

quality 60mm throw, long-life conductive plastic fader. Each input

channel also incorporates isolator equalizers wherein crosspoint

frequencies can be assigned for each band in the preset menu.

USB Audio and Midi Interfaces

Ensuring that the DN-X1700 is a fit for every DJ is its USB Audio and

Midi control. Utilizing Denon DJ’s low latency ASIO driver, not only can

the DN-X1700 be used as a traditional DJ mixer, it can also be utilized as

a top-notch 96 kHz digital audio sound card (8 in / 8 out (4 stereo

channels)) for any of today’s top DJ software suites.

Each channel has a single button that allows immediate switching of

each channel input from the traditional audio signal to the USB

computer audio input.

Also available is a Midi layer function for controlling the mixing

capabilities of todays DJ software mixers, on a channel by channel basis.

Midi output is available for almost all operations and functions of the

DN-X1700’s top panel controls.

Flex Fader

Cross and Channel Fader, quality, feel,

performance and reliability is critical in a

design of this caliber. That’s why we

chose the studio quality 60-mm Alps K

Series for the channel faders, which

offers a silky smooth, but balanced firm

feel. The cross fader which we call, FLEX

FADER is one that has been proven in

previous Denon mixers. The tension of

the FLEX FADER can be adjusted to your

desired feel directly from the front panel.

Two Built-in Effects Processors

Adding to the digital realm of the new DN-X1700 is its two built-in

digital effects processors. Specific parameters for each of the 11

different effects can be linked to the beats per minute (BPM) of every

track passing through the mixer. Each effects processor offers its own

set of controls such as, Dry/Wet, Parameter, Low/High pass filter, Beat or

Time adjustments, TAP, Manual and Auto BPM, Pre Efx Cueing and

ON/OFF. In addition to the new Beat Breaker effect, each effects

processor has other popular effects including delay, transform, flanger,

filer, phaser, reverberation, looping, reverse looping and pitch shift.

Each channel has two effects sends (1 and 2) which allows audio from a

single channel to be routed to each effects processor, individually. In

addition, you can use an external effects unit and route the Send/Return

signal through either effect 1 or 2.

Every detail was

considered and no

corners cut in designing

the DN-X1700 and its

accurate sound

representation. The mic

amp, with its own

discrete transistor

configuration,

incorporates a low equivalent input noise of 127 dB

while even the phono amplifier has a 89 dB signal-to-

noise ratio, all due to its own discrete FET circuit

configuration. And at the heart of it all, the power.

The DN-X1700 employs two extremely high-end, low-

noise R-core power transformers for the analog circuit

with Denon DJ custom designed electrolytic capacitors.

Furthermore, film capacitors designed to enhance sound

quality and high-precision metal film resistors round out

the power circuit, resulting in sound quality that is

overwhelmingly high and breathtakingly accurate.

Unlike any other DJ mixer in its class, the DN-X1700 is

equipped with a high performance 32-bit DAC (digital

analog conversion) at the audio output stage. Even the

world’s best-selling DJ mixers, CD / DVD players and

home theater systems boast only 24-bit DA conversion;

32-bit conversion provides additional “headroom” in

the conversion process, providing an analog output

signal with greater resolution and frequency response.

The resulting ultra wideband output signal makes the

DN-X1700 one of the best sounding pieces of digital

audio equipment ever made for the DJ market.

Headphone monitoring and the output sound, power it

produces are essential for all DJs alike, which is why no

costs were spared in this important area either. The

X1700 offers a very High Power and Ultra Clean

Headphone Circuit with Built-In Discrete Transistor

Push-Pull drive. This low Impedance drive buffer circuit

is generally found in very expensive studio boards,

which covers an array of Pro Headphones on the

market with an impressive spec of 400mW @ 40 ohms.

“Cutting-edge” and “Flagship” are two terms often associated with Denon DJ.

From the revolutionary spinning platter design of the DN-S5000 to the worldwide

standard for mobile CD playback – the DN-D4500; Denon DJ has paved the way by

applying numerous technological advances and features to products designed for

the working DJ. The new DN-X1700 is no exception.

At first glance, the DN-X1700 is a standard matrix club mixer consisting of 4 CD and

PHONO inputs, 4 digital inputs, 2 microphone inputs, 2 master outputs, booth and

recording outputs and more. But it’s the levels of sound quality and incorporation

of forward-thinking performance features that make the DN-X1700 Professional

Digital DJ Mixer the ultimate performance tool for top-flight professionals.

MIDI ASIO

No. Effect Description of effect

1 Delay Adds an audio effect where previously passed signals

are played again, delayed by the time of the beat

setting

2 Echo Adds echo signals which have been delayed by the

time of the beat setting

3 Trans Cuts off the signals at the time of the beat setting

4 Flanger Effect where the original signal is mixed together

with a delayed version of the same audio, resulting in

a wide sweeping comb-filter effect

5 Filter Varies the filter cut-off frequency

6 Phaser Similar to a Flanger, Phaser produces a wide

sweeping effect that is based on a filtered audio

signal rather than a delayed audio signal

7 Reverb Adds additional audio signals making the passed-

through audio sound larger

8 Loop Loop initiates a sampled effect that repeats the

passed-through audio over and over on time and

length parameters set by the BPM and user

9 Reverse Loop Initiates the reverse play processing of the above loop

signals

10 Pitch Shift Shifts the pitch of the input signals and outputs

the results

11 BeatBreaker Separates and repeats the attack signals of the input

beats as per the beat pattern

12 SEND/RTN Sends the signals whose effects have been assigned

to an external effector and returns those modified

signals

* EFX 1 and EFX 2 cannot be selected at the same time.
