English Before start Features This unit is a 4-channel mixer optimally designed for DJ performances using the “Serato DJ” DJ software by Serato. It is equipped with an internal sound card that is compatible with Serato DJ, so performances using Serato DJ can be held immediately after connecting this unit with a computer using a USB cable, with no need to make any troublesome settings. Furthermore, Serato DJ’s scratch function can be controlled using the included CONTROL VINYL (record) or CONTROL CD. In addition, this unit carries over the main functions, quality and performance of the Pioneer DJM-900nexus, a standard model in clubs throughout the world, offering powerful support for performances by all professional DJs active in the club scene.

This unit is equipped with a built-in USB sound card for connecting a computer. A computer can be connected simply using a single USB cable; there is no need to procure a separate sound card in addition to this unit. Also, when Serato DJ is launched, this unit is automatically selected as the sound device, so DJ performances using Serato DJ can be held immediately, with no need to make any troublesome settings. Furthermore, Serato DJ’s scratch function can be controlled using the included CONTROL VINYL (record) or CONTROL CD.

This unit uses a 32-bit D/A converter and other parts that are equivalent to those of high grade audio equipment, greatly improving the sound quality of not only the master output but also the headphones and booth output. The use of a 32-bit digital signal processor suppresses digital noise. Furthermore, for the analog circuitry as well, a high sound quality balanced hybrid operational amplifier and a fully balanced output circuitry are used to reduce noise.

SOUND COLOR FX&BEAT FX

This unit is equipped with the SOUND COLOR FX and BEAT FX functions that have been well received on the DJM series. With SOUND COLOR FX, the effects you are aiming to create can be applied simply by turning the knob, letting you make original arrangements of tracks and enabling a wide variety of remixing possibilities. Also, the BPM and beat position information of the track currently playing with Serato DJ can be obtained via USB, so BEAT EFFECT can be applied on beat thanks to the highly precise BPM information. Also, by using the quantize mode, the effect timing is automatically corrected even if the BEAT EFFECT operation is performed off timing, so effects can be applied in beat. DURABLE FADER The crossfader and channel faders use a sliding structure in which the fader knobs are supported by two metal shafts. This provides both smooth operation with no wobbling and high durability. It also keeps any adverse effects from liquids or dust getting into the faders to a minimum. For scratch play compatibility, the crossfader uses a uniquely developed magnetic system that provides a high durability of over 10 million operations with subtle operability. The channel faders provide approximately three times greater operation durability as compared to a previous Pioneer model (DJM-800). STANDARD LAYOUT This unit carries over the control panel layout of the Pioneer DJM series, the world standard in DJ mixers. The simple, straightforward control panel layout not only facilitates DJ performances but lets even DJs using this unit for the first time to operate it without hesitation, so it can be used without worry as a mixer that is permanently installed in the club.
