I think I might have a similar issue with my DJX700....
I noticed when recording that I would get intermittent crackling and it seemed to be got round by selecting different channels for the cross fader.
I thought it might be the cross fader at first but then I noticed that as I moved Assign A or B around the indicator LEDs would not follow the selection e.g. as I switch A from 2 to 1 the LED would zip from 2 to 4 to 1 etc and ths was accompanied by a similar crackling noise.
I've tried electrical solvent in the selectors but it doesn't make any difference.
I'm now stuck with the x-fader assignment in a useless configuration to avoid the crackling which is a shame as the mixer is blinding considering its relatively low price.
Has anyone any further experience of this?
I had hoped I could find some help on the Behringer site but there is no similar topic and the search for service centres in Great Britain returns a company in Germany!
If I make any progress I'll repost......
The sliders on MOST of the mixer devices are pretty weak. They are subject to dirt or liquid getting into the slot and spoiling them. Fix is to replace them. You usually can find replacements at Digikey or Mouser that are suitable. The parameters are the resistance, the packaing and the length of throw AND importantly the "taper" of the resistance element.
Testimonial: "Thanks for your input but all the sliders operate cleanly. I think it is more related to the xfader selectors. "

The sliders all operate cleanly on this mixer - including the xfader itself. It is just when the xfader selectors are on particular settings and switching between settings that the crackle appears.
Does anyone have any further ideas?
I have heard back from Behringer - they accept it seems to be a problem but are directing me to a service centre (Germany remember?)
What I could really do with is an idea of what I should check and replace.
