Product Description

Denon DJ’s MC4000 is a 2 deck Serato DJ controller for the professional entertainer wrapping in demand audio manipulation tools in a robust steel chassis for rugged durability. In addition to precision touch activated jog wheels, performers get access to dedicated hot cue and sample pads for on the fly creativity.

Long throw 100mm pitch faders and an intuitive control layout deliver natural operation when balancing complex set elements. A particularly useful feature—and virtually unheard of at the MC4000’s modest price point—is Balanced Booth Outputs, which feeds the program signal to a set of local monitor speakers near the DJ, with the ability to adjust the Booth level independent of the main level.

The MC4000 includes Serato DJ Lite and is user upgradable to full Serato DJ Pro. It’s also compatible with Traktor 2, Algoriddim djay Pro and Virtual DJ 8, as well as any other DJ application that supports MIDI mapping. This enables the DJ to use their use their favorite programs and customize their performance according to their personal style and the requirements of the situation.

Setting a new standard for entry level DJ controllers

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

With Denon attempting to unseat Pioneer as the king of DJ controllers, the MC4000 seems to represent their early attempts at the entry level market. After using the Denon MC4000 for a couple of weeks, I have to say that this is THE entry level Serato controller to get. Within the price segment, there is the Pioneer DDJ-SB2, the DDJ-RB (which uses Pioneer’s Rekordbox DJ), and the Numark Mixtrack Platinum. In many ways, each of these devices represents a set of compromises. I believe that the MC4000 is the most full featured device. Although it is the most expensive of the three, I think the added cost is worth it. One thing to note is that if this is your first controller, because it comes with a 50% off coupon for Serato DJ, the actual cost of the device is $350 if you factor in the cost of Serato DJ.

You can easily Google online to find that the MC4000 has the best build quality of the low/mid-range controllers. Beyond that, there are several features that the MC4000 has that make it stand out. First off, the 100mm pitch fader not only gives you a feel closer to a CDJ or technics 1200, but it gives you more resolution and room to work with when you decide to go to 16% or higher settings. Second, there are three knobs for fx (plus a beat knob), that allows you to either active/control three separate fx’s at once, or have all 3 knobs to control the various settings of just one fx. Third, there are separate loop controls so you don’t have to switch the performance pad settings to control loops. Finally, there are separate sampler buttons in the middle of the unit. Not only is it more convenient for them to be separate from the performance pad section, but the extra buttons can be remap to quickly perform other tasks.

You do sacrifice a few features that are present in the Pioneer units. The MC4000 is a pure 2-channel unit, while the DDJ-SB2 has some sort of a 4 channel control, though it’s very very limited without an actual 4 channel mixer. There is also no slicer mode in the performance pad section, which controllerists are going to want. However, if you’re really looking for controllerist features, you’ll definitely want to step up to a Pioneer DDJ-SR or RR.

I’m writing this review because I’m surprised that the MC4000 is rarely mentioned in the budget controller discussion. For $100-$150 more than the other units, you’re getting something that won’t leave you wanting for quite some time. Denon made great decisions in providing the most essential features while skipping out on the more gimmicky functions. I think if you’re going to start somewhere when buying a controller, the Denon MC4000 is definitely worth the step up in price.

You cannot find better under 500.00 this us your best choice on a budget

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2019

This controller is unbelievable value for money! This thing comes packed with features you can only find on 800- 1600.00 controllers.

Here's a few people dont talk about
1. 2 mic inputs, with EQ and echo on them. This feature alone is a game changer... You can do karaoke, you can also filter out the lows boost the highs and dial on a great sound for a guest artist.

2. The onboard effects are amazing! The scratch sounds real! Not cheesy, the jog wheels, buttons feel great, the filters and effects sound wonderful.

3. The sound quality is so good. 24bit playback is wonderful! I play 24bit wav files it makes a huge difference.

4. Great quality XLR, and lots of connection options. Seriously for 400.00 shipped name one controller better...

5. The onboard headphone preamp is comically over powered... This thing can easily EASILY drive 300 ohm headphones and not break a sweat... If u connect typical 32 ohm headphones it will torch your ear drums...

So what are the downsides?
1. Wish I didnt need to connect it to a laptop... If serato worked on android that would be awesome.
2. The Mic doesn't feed to the headphones do you have no monitoring...

Bottom line buy it, the next thing better costs 1200 and above...

Without a doubt - a cut above the rest in this or slightly lower bracket!

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2016

The hardware itself is great and has some bells and whistles not available with some other 'compact' DJ controllers. Very sturdy construction. My gripe is that it comes with Serato Intro. The challenge with that is the software interface and browser has very small text (running on a Yoga 3 11 with Windows 10). It also somehow seems to require a lot of CPU power. When I cue songs while another is playing, the music stutters. I decided to try the demo with Virtual DJ 8 and it works flawlessly, and the text is much more readable at a further distance. The layout also almost exactly matches the controller. Maybe with Apple computers you won't have the issues I have with Serato on a PC. However, I have not deducted any stars for the hardware itself - as I've used the MC3000 before and that was also very excellent. I also like the colours for the various buttons and groups of controls so it helps when DJ'ing in a dark surrounding. I tried it out for about 45 mins with VDJ 8 and there were no stability issues to report. I've also read that controllers with a dedicated power supply are more stable than ones powered by the computer's USB port. This could stand to reason as USB is software driven, and could pose more of an issue if you have one or more USB drives plugged in (maybe) to your computer.

but I'm really happy with this denon

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2015

I don't normally write reviews.but I'm really happy with this denon.. I got my denon a lot quicker then they said like 2 days quicker which was impressive. I used to have a old mix track pro that was just limited as to what I could do so I shopped for a while looking around at different controllers and just couldn't find one and something I could afford . A friend of mine that's been djing for many yrs showed me his denon and let me play with it and I was sold . This unit is by far the most professionally made with its metal body and it being so compact and it's not much bigger then my old mix track pro. It has easy features to use. The most impressive thing about the denon is that I learned is that a powered controler are much better then a usb powered ones trust me ... By far the best value out of all the other high end ones , of course that's my opinion ... BEST $400 I've spent yet
