Topic: Pioneer Mixers and buzzing sounds

Got a Pioneer 600 and when it put it through a PA there is this horrendous buzz. Don't notice it at home.

Anybody had a similar problem ? Is it fried.

A paranoid is someone who knows a little of whats really going on.

you can't compare a pioneer 600 with an 800 (or a 700)... the sound quality of the latter is WAY better.
I'm about to replace my old Ecler (Smac) and was thinking about a 700 (the prize is an issue though)
or another Ecler (probably Nuo, REALLY one try the EVO .. but the prizzze again hmm)

[on topic] the problem can have various causes .. is the buzz still there if you include another mixer e.g.?
general advice: don't take your own material to a party/event
