This was happening around the time I got my DJM-800. People were making wild speculations about what the DJM EQ did, so I thought I'd actually test it. The results are at http://qolc.net/tmp/mixxx/eq.html Note the analogue stage going via a fairly cheap soundcard means you wouldn't want to pull any hard numbers out of these graphs, but I think they're sufficient to give you a broad picture of what's going on. I didn't actually much like the DJM's EQ when I first got it. A year later I'm used to it now of course, but I'd still prefer it if the high and low shelved properly instead of being bandpass. Then the high's cutoff point could be brought down a bit. It's a bit too high to be useful really, other than to trim the excess harsh resonance off the CFX filter. I'm told that Allen & Heath do a better job of a musical filterset, but I haven't yet had a chance to play with one.
