The CDJ-2000 fizzes with fresh DNA and can play music
from multiple sources, including CD, DVD, USB storage
devices and SD memory cards. Simply take your USB
device to the club, plug into the CDJ-2000 and play.

Supported file formats include MP3, AAC, WAV and
AIFF (both 16-bit and 24-bit), for the next generation of
digital sound quality.

Naturally, the CDJ-2000’s layout is related to its robust,
reliable predecessor, the CDJ-1000MK3. However, it ramps
up performance with the largest (6.1-inch), clearest full­colour screen in the business. To the right of the screen is
a new rotary selector for fast intuitive track browsing and
selection. Plus, for on-the-fly programming, tag lists can be
created using the dedicated Tag button.

Below the screen is a waveform Needle Search /
Needle Drop ribbon. DJs can now intuitively slide their
fingers along it to access any point in the track. Add to
these features a highly evolved illuminated Jog wheel,
with increased tension adjust control and you have the
ultimate digital performance tool.

Internally the audio components have been totally
revamped and engineered to bring out the best
possible club sound. The CDJ-2000 boasts a high-grade

Wolfson DAC which processes high-quality audio files up
to 96kHz and has a signal-to-noise ratio of 117dB (11dB
higher than the CDJ-1000MK3), giving incredibly accurate
sound reproduction.

Each CDJ has a built-in 24-bit/48kHz sound card, along with
MIDI and HID control over USB. This provides a high quality
audio solution for DJs who want to continue to use music
software and digital vinyl systems, but without the need

allows more time to focus on your performance.

Through the industry-first ProDJ Link, music files and
database data on one single USB or SD device can be
shared simultaneously by up to four players connected
via LAN (local area network) cable.
