FEATURES CONTENTS

1 High sound quality design

Analog signals are transmitted via the shortest path and converted
to digital signals by a 96 kHz sampling, 24 bit, high-quality A/D
converter, thus passing the signals to the digital mixing stage
under optimum conditions.
Through the use of a 32 bit DSP, mixing is achieved with zero
sound quality degradation, and together with simultaneous ideal
filtering, optimum sound is produced for professional DJs
working in clubs.
To get the most from these features, a great deal of care has been
paid to perfecting the sound quality, including a high-rigidity
chassis to cut down unnecessary vibrations that might affect the
sound, together with a high-performance power section using an
R-core transformer that supports bass quality, thus creating clear
and powerful sound ideal for club performances.

2 3 band isolator

Built-in 3-band isolator capable of producing level control
+6 dB to –∞ on each bandwidth.
The sharp operation feel allows the realization of a wide variety of
DJ performances.

3 2-system, 3-type SEND/RETURN

A 2-system, 3-type SEND/RETURN (PRE INSERT/POST INSERT/
AUX) is provided to allow multiple connection variations with
other external devices, such as effectors and samplers, thus
widening the range of DJ play potential.

4 Fader curve adjust

The fader curve adjust allows adjustment not only the cross fader
curve (as on former models), but also of channel fader curve.
Both faders’ functions can be adjusted within 17 steps, so that DJs
can customize the settings to their own preferred settings.

OPERATIONS

FADER START FUNCTION

By using a control cable to connect the unit to an optional
PIONEER CD player, playback on the CD player can be
started using the channel fader or cross fader functions (if a
digital link connection is made, use of the control cable is
unnecessary).
The CD player’s pause function is canceled when the
mixer’s channel fader slider or cross fader slider is moved,
and the playback of the track starts automatically and
instantly. In addition, by returning the fader to it’s former
position, the CD player’s playback can be returned back to
the cue point (back cue), so that sampler-like playback can
be performed.

[Cross fader start play & back cue play]

During cue point standby on the CD player assigned to
channel A of the cross fader, moving the cross fader slider
from the right side (B side) to the left side (A side) causes
the CD player connected to channel A to start playback.
When the cross fader slider reaches the left side (A side),

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel
Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad
