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 immedi-

ately 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 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.

PLUG AND PLAY

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 CONTROL

VINYL (record) or CONTROL CD.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

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 possibili-

ties. 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.
