DJM500 - Modding
DJM500 - Modding Posted on: 20.03.2012 by Cassondra Stauble Hi guys,I have an old DJM500 which is perfect for home use. The only thing that bugs me with it is that you can only have 3 line channels. DO any of you know if you can change the 4th fader from a phono to a line by simple changing the fader? or is there more to it than that? cheers | |

| Ira Alsadi 21.03.2012 | In order to do this, you need to bypass the preamp circuitry on the board. After looking at the schematic of the DJM 500, the circuitry is a little more complex on the preamp side than I am comfortable with. Here it is if you need some reference to it. I highlighted the preamp circuit in red. DJM-500_RRV3107-4.jpg |

| Cassondra Stauble 21.03.2012 | Cheers for the replies guys, I had a feeling it would require some soldering to do what i want. The Sub Mic work around is pretty cool and seems to be my best bet. Other than that i guess i need to by a new mixer like the Xone 42/92. |

| Shay Wyche 21.03.2012 | If you have an NI Audio8 soundcard, it's possible to route the headphone out in to the sub mic on channel 4. It takes a little bit of fiddling with the volume levels but it does work. That's how I have my set up at home. |
