Pioneer DJM-2000 Nexus Pro DJ 4 channels mixer [ First look -- Coming Dec 2012 / Jan 2013 ]

Pioneer DJM-2000 Nexus Pro DJ 4 channels mixer [ First look -- Coming Dec 2012 / Jan 2013 ]

THE MUSIC MIX CONTINUES WITH PIONEER’S LATEST PREMIUM DJ MIXER

Pioneer DJM-2000nexus Adds Exciting New Features

LONG BEACH, Calif. (November 15, 2012) – Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., Professional Sound and Visual Division, is making the top DJ mixer in its line even better with the announcement of the new DJM-2000nexus performance mixer. The perfect complement to the recently released CDJ-2000nexus multi player, the DJM-2000nexus offers more music mixing functions, including the new Beat Slice and Sync Master, available in conjunction with Pioneer’s Pro DJ Link. In addition to the newest features, the mixer incorporates a built-in full-color 5.8-inch LCD multi-touch panel with screen effects, evolved Beat Effects, Pro DJ Link and MIDI control capability.

“The first generation DJM-2000 has become today’s premium professional mixer, found in the best and hottest venues around the world, and now we’re making the next edition of the mixer better than ever to enable DJs to perform at the highest level,” said David Arevalo, senior marketing manager, Professional Sound and Visual Division for Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.

New Functions of Pro DJ Link

With Pro DJ Link, the DJM-2000nexus can be easily linked together (via LAN cables) with multiple Pro DJ Link enabled Pioneer CDJ players for the convenience of sharing a single music-filled SD card1 or USB storage. In addition, up to two laptop computers pre-installed with Pioneer’s rekordbox™ music management software can be interfaced with the DJM-2000nexus for times when two DJs want to transition between performances.

Two additional functions, Beat Slice and Sync Master, were added to the mixer to take advantage of the Pro DJ Link connection:

BEAT SLICE – When Beat Slice is activated, the BPM of music from a player is automatically synced, a short sample of the track (slice) is temporarily stored in the DJM-2000nexus, and its waveform appears on the built-in touch panel display. The waveform is separated and shown in eight parts (single, quarter, half, and eighth beats) on the display. A touch of each part creates entirely new sound effects that play along with the beat of the sampled music.
SYNC MASTER – The beats (tempo and beat position) of tracks playing on multiple players connected to the mixer via Pro DJ Link are automatically synchronized with the master clock of the DJM-2000nexus. The playback tempo and beats can also be adjusted using the built-in touch panel display, and numerous tracks can be arranged with ease without having to synchronize the beats of each player.

High Quality Audio Output

The DJM-2000nexus delivers excellent sound quality, utilizing an audio circuit clock that features a highly stable crystal oscillator, as well as noise reduction circuitry in its audio power source. The mixer also features a balanced hybrid op-amp and balanced output circuit in the analog processing stage to decrease induced noise significantly, resulting in a dynamic range of 107dB with 0.004% THD.

High Performance and Great Features

A newly integrated peak limiter keeps audio playing at all times, even at maximum output level, limiting distortion during playback and preventing damage to the mixer. To increase durability and ensure smooth operation, the DJM-2000nexus features high-performance channel faders that can withstand heavy use.

Layout – The mixer now utilizes chrome-plated knobs for adjusting effect frequencies as well as white LED illumination for the beat button to match the look of the CDJ-2000nexus perfectly. The top center section of the mixer features EFX capabilities to provide a bounty of digital effects, while each side section of the panel offers audio mixing controls for up to four digital or USB sources. The middle section contains INST FX (Instant Instrument FX) functions for additional sound effects.
5.8-inch Multi-Touch Display– The DJM-2000nexus incorporates a full-color 5.8-inch LCD multi-touch panel for remixing beats and adding audio effects with a simple touch of the screen. Users can also simultaneously manipulate the displayed controls on the panel by touching different areas of the screen at the same time. Four different performance modes are available:
Beat Slice – Enables a section of a track to be stored for additional audio effects
Frequency mix – Enables more precise mixing within seven frequency ranges. For example, users can enhance just the bass region within the music they’re mixing.
Sidechain remix – DJs can create seven different dynamic audio effects by touching the screen.
MIDI mode – Allows the user to assign various controls displayed on the LCD screen to external DJ software via MIDI. Four types of MIDI modes are available for more performance flexibility.
Evolved Beat Effects – Numerous buttons for the evolved Beat Effects were added for selecting multiple effects and beat parameters. Manipulation of the sound effects can be made using the Effect Frequency knobs that change the low, mid and high frequency bands of the music. With the turn of a knob, users can enhance the effects of each frequency band, i.e., an echo added specifically to the vocals of the music or a doubling of the hi-hat rhythm, providing incredible performance options.
Instant Instrument FX – The INST FX provides six additional audio effects that include Noise, HPF, LPF, Jet, Zip and Crush. Each effect can be brought into the channel with a turn of the Filter knob. Additionally, the Parameter knob allows the effects to be fine tuned.
Live Sampler – A cool feature of the mixer is Live Sampler, which allows the sound from a microphone or from the MASTER output to be recorded directly into the mixer. The “sampled” sound can instantly be transferred via LAN cable to a CDJ-2000nexus or CDJ-900 for scratching or sampling.
Link Monitor – When linked with a CDJ-2000nexus player, the mixer informs the DJ of its connected status. The JOG rings of the turntable change color based on the current on-air status and channel number connection, providing quick visual indications to the DJ.
USB interface – The DJM-2000nexus features a USB audio interface2 that allows a direct computer connection without the need for an external sound card. Up to four audio sources can be assigned to each channel, providing even more flexibility. For additional convenience, the MASTER output can be connected directly to a computer for recording3 of performances.

Additional features of the DJM-2000nexus include:

Switching 3-Band EQ/Isolator – Equipped with a switching 3-band EQ (+6dB to -26dB) and 3-band Isolator (+6dB to -∞dB) on each channel
Digital In – Digital audio inputs for each channel with no deterioration in sound quality
Fader Start Play – Connection with Pioneer CDJ player(s) with PRO DJ LINK or control cable allows the mixer to start the turntable by switching faders
Talk Over – Lowers the volume of the music when a connected microphone is used
Peak Level Meter – Displays input levels at a glance
Cross Fader Assign Function – Allows the flexible assignment of the input on each channel to the cross fader
Fader Curve Adjust Function – Allows changes to cross fader and channel fader curves
Auto Standby Function – Switches power to standby mode when no operation or input is detected for a certain period of time.

Pioneer HDJ-500 DJ Headphone in Purple and Green [ Available in February / March 2013 ]

Pioneer HDJ-500 DJ Headphone in Purple and Green [ Available in February / March 2013 ]

Pioneer is introducing its new HDJ-500 headphones color into the entry-level DJ market in three color variations, Purple and Green.

HDJ-500 DJ Headphones for Enjoying Dance Music in the Club or on the streets. Clearly reproduces Low to Mid Range Sounds, such as Kick and Snare Drums, as demanded by DJs.

Features :

Clearly Reproduces Low- to Mid-Range Sound, such as Kick and Snare Drums as demanded by DJs.

Reproduces a rich low-range and increases the sound pressure by utilizing our newly developed 40 mm diameter driver unit, which uses a rare-earth super magnet and by narrowing the ear pad opening. Furthermore, by adopting the thickest diaphragm ever at 19 mm (micrometers) and a copper-clad aluminum wire (CCAW) voice coil, the headphone reproduces the clear low- to mid-range sounds necessary for DJ mixing, such as snare and kick drum sounds, which allows even entry-level DJs to readily pick out the tempo of the music.

Compatible with Various DJ Monitoring Styles :

The headphones allow for various DJ monitoring styles by employing a rotating arm structure that allows it to slide to about 60 degrees to the right housing and via the flexible headband we created that maintains side pressure, allowing the DJ to listen with just one ear.

Uses an Interchangeable Side-Mount Cord that doesn’t Hinder DJ Movement :

We adopted an interchangeable cord that plugs into one side of the headphones so it doesn’t hinder the movement of the DJ. The headphones come with a 1.2 m coiled cord (extendable to about 3 m) and a 1 m straight cord, which can be used for different purposes, be it whether listening to music out on the street or while DJ-ing.

Emulates the Design of Professional DJ Headphones :

We’ve created a simple and stylish design that emulates the design of Pioneer’s own professional DJ headphones, especially our flagship model, the HDJ-2000. The streamlined hanger makes it a snap to distinguish the left and right sides of the headphones.
