drtim Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hi all, Just wondered if anyone here has a CDJ1000 Mk3? I have recently acquired one and have noticed that it seems pretty noisy - I can hear mechanical movements from within the unit when a cd is being read. Is this normal or does it need an overhaul? Cheers in advance! Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 They do have an audible movement sound - with the occasional click now and again too. It shouldn't be anything too OTT though, so if its really noisy, might be worth having it checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtim Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks Briggsy, it has been functioning flawlessly (touch wood) but just whirrs quite a lot. Whenever i've used them in clubs obviously it's too loud to hear that, but at home when the volume is low it is noticeable. Will get both serviced for peace of mind i think. Cheers for your reply.

Briggsy Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 If its just a noticeable whirr, then thats perfectly normal and fine. Don't worry. If its more of a loud rough sounding "grinding" kind of sound, then get them checked out. Could you record a sample on your phone and post a clip here? I'll tell you if its the normal CDJ-1000 sound then rather than something sinister. A service isn't particularly cheap - and seems an unneccessary expense if there's nothing wrong.

drtim Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks for the offer mate. It's definitely NOT a grinding noise! I know a chap who used to work as a Pioneer engineer. He then went freelance and serviced my DJM600 last year for a very good price, so I will have a chat to him. Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndon Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Mine make a bit of noise, but I've had them since 2009 and they have been fine so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
