Die Meinung des Internets zu DJ-GearDie Meinung des Internets zu DJ-GearWie DJ Tech Reviews jede Seite erstellt: belegte technische Daten, tägliche Preisverfolgung und eine zugeordnete Zusammenfassung dessen, was Tester und Besitzer sagen.
DJ Tech Reviews is a research publication. We do not test gear and we do not say we do. Every page is built from what can be read and checked: manufacturers’ specifications and manuals, firmware notes, professional reviews by named publications, owner reports published by retailers, and the prices retailers publish. Where the evidence is thin we say so on the page rather than round it up.
Three things carry the site, and each has its own rules below: the source sheet behind every specification, the price tracker behind every price and deal, and The Internet’s Opinion, our attributed summary of what reviewers and owners say.
A specification only appears on a page if it is in our source sheet with a source attached: the manufacturer’s product page, the manual, firmware release notes, or an independent measurement, each with the URL and the date we checked it. On the page, hover a figure to see where it came from. Figures in a review or guide that still predate the sheet are marked as legacy in the sheet and are being replaced page by page; the publishing checks list every one of them whenever a page is edited.
Today the sheet holds 93 products and 1,131 figures, of which 1,042 carry a source. Prices in prose are never typed in; they come from the price tracker below and show the retailer and the time of the check.
Prices come from a separate pricing engine that reads retailer feeds and affiliate-network catalogues once a day (02:00 UTC) and records one price observation per live offer per night. Retailers tracked: Thomann, Gear4music and AV.com through Awin; Sweetwater, Guitar Center, Musician’s Friend and zZounds through Impact; Reverb; and eBay. Amazon prices are fetched when the page is served and shown with the time of that check; they are not stored. Retailers’ own “was” prices are ignored everywhere.
The deals page is computed by that engine under four rules, and the site shows its answer without re-ranking it: a product is listed only when today’s price is within 10% of the lowest we have recorded for it; no “lowest ever” claim is made until we hold 28 days of our own history; no marketplace sellers, no used or refurbished stock, no listings younger than 24 hours; and the order is by how close the price is to its low, never by what a retailer pays us. Our own price history starts in June 2026 for US retailers and on 9 October 2026 for European ones, so some “lowest” claims will not be available until November 2026.
For each product we compile a record of what has been published about it, and the review page shows that record with every claim attributed. It has four parts.
Alongside the record we show the rating each retailer publishes on its own product page, read weekly from the page’s own markup: the average, the scale and the number of ratings, per retailer, with the date we read it. These are never pooled into one number, because they are different buyers rating on different scales at different shops, and we never mark them up as our own rating for search engines. Records compiled so far: 45.
The 0–10 scores on reviews and in guide tables were set by the writer from the documentation and the published reviews available at the time, before the opinion records existed. They are the writer’s assessment, not a measurement, and they are being replaced guide by guide with the opinion evidence above. Until a page says otherwise, treat its score as an editorial summary and the Internet’s Opinion block as the evidence.
“Updated” on a page means its data was refreshed: prices, specifications or the opinion record. Fixing a typo or rewording a paragraph does not move the date. Factual corrections are dated separately, on the page and in the public log.
When a figure or claim is wrong we correct it within two working days, add a dated note at the foot of the page saying what it said and what it says now, and record it in the corrections log (19 entries). No brand has paid for coverage and no retailer has paid for position; how the site earns is set out in the affiliate disclosure. The people who write here are on the team page.
If a number, a price, a link or a quoted verdict on this site looks wrong, tell us and say which page. That is the fastest way a correction happens.
