CDJ1000MK3 noisy?

[mixxxing]

hi guys,

i just got a cdj1000mk3 used, and it seems to be noisy not very very noisy, but alot noisier than my cdj200 which you cant hear unless you put your ear down to it. You can hear the disk reading quite easily

I was wondering is this normal?

well the platter can be noisy as well, but maybe ring a DJ store and ask, otherwise dont worry man. It wont affect you when you're playing and if its not a physical problem, dont sweat

[mixxxing]

yeah man i was thinking i should do that, just a bit concered. Do you have 1000s?

[LabRat]

i can hear my disks spinning in mine (i have Denon DNS1000's - soooooo awesome lol) but like any cd player you're going to get that. i remember mine sounding like it was spinning really fast once but i took it out, waited a while, turned it off and then put the cd back in and hasnt done it since

Of course its gonna be louder than a 200 cause its bigger and better and its running more things, dont sweat it man, its the same thing as an xbox or a computer, disk spins = drive making noise, as long as its not making like cracking or grinding sounds your sweet

called dj warehouse and the guy said it was not normal for it to do that! Can some with 1000s let me know if theres do the same!

i got 800's and mine do, obviously you can't hear is once the music is playing but with no volume yer.

[mixxxing]

thanks man, do they kind of sound like a computer?

[DjNikko]

yeh little bit i suppose... i mean it pretty much is i suppose, i mean they process a lot so you have to expect some noise from them.

[CBG]

well if you're unsure about them, just give them to me... then you wont have to worry about them

Do you have a DJ store nearby that has a display model? May be worth a visit for a quick comparison. Does the CDJ make the same noise with all disks?

If your really worried would probably be best to get it looked at and/or serviced.
