Features

This unit is a 4-channel DJ mixer that continues the tradition of the DJM series from Pioneer DJ, the global standard for the disco/club scene. This unit is equipped with the EQ/fader curve, SOUND COLOR FX, BEAT FX, and SEND/RETURN functions that were newly developed for the DJM-900NXS2, which is the permanent equipment in a club. This allows a broad range of DJ performances. Additionally, it features a design that offers high sound quality, excellent reliability, and an easy-to-use panel layout, as well as the ability to connect to a variety of devices such as USB sound cards that allow connection to PC, Mac, or iOS devices, providing a high level of support for DJ performances of all kinds.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

We have worked to achieve improvements and enhancements in sound output in all digital and analog inputs and outputs. The USB sound card is compatible with 48 kHz 24-bit high-resolution audio. Moreover, 32-bit high sound quality A/D and D/A converters provide playback with high fidelity to the original sound. This unit performs 48 kHz 64-bit DSP mixing processing to enable a lively sound with high resolution, a wide range, and tight tone, and offers the experience of clear, warm, and powerful club sound.

EQ & FADER

This unit features the same curve characteristics offered in the EQ curve and fader curve revised in the DJM-900NXS2, allowing the creation of natural mixes that sound exactly the way you want. 3 BAND EQ/ ISOLATOR: Equipped with a three-band equalizer that allows the levels of the high, mid, and low frequency ranges to be adjusted separately. In addition to changing the tone to suit your preferences, this unit also features an isolator function that mutes the sound in the relevant frequency range when you rotate a control to the left. CHANNEL FADER: Equipped with the same characteristics as the channel fader curve of the DJM-900NXS2 that is a permanent equipment in a club. Select curves suited to quick mixes or smooth long mixes to create a mix that sounds exactly the way you want. MAGVEL FADER: Equipped with magnetic crossfader developed by Pioneer DJ. Highly durable hardware that is built to withstand more than 10 million operations, and precise operability is perfect for frenetic scratch playing.

STANDARD LAYOUT

This unit retains the control panel layout of the Pioneer DJ DJM series, a world standard for DJ mixers. The simple, easy-to-understand control panel layout makes DJ performance easy, and allows performance in the same way as the DJM-900NXS2, a standard for use in clubs.

“rekordbox dj” and “rekordbox dvs”

This unit comes with a license key for “rekordbox dj” and “rekordbox dvs”, which are DJ applications to make tracks on your PC/Mac to be played with a turn table/Control Vinyl. This unit is equipped with an internal sound card, enabling you to control “rekordbox dj” and “rekordbox dvs” by only connecting a USB cable to your PC/Mac, without complicated settings. Only the unit, turn table/Control Vinyl, and PC/Mac are required to use these applications.

rekordbox

rekordbox is composite software that facilitates track management and DJ performances. The rekordbox DJ performance function is called rekordbox dj. For details, refer to Use rekordbox dj (page 16 ).

This unit features the acclaimed SOUND COLOR FX, BEAT FX, and SEND/RETURN found on the DJM-900NXS2 used in many clubs, allowing a variety of DJ performances. SOUND COLOR FX: Equipped with four types of effects. Simply rotate the [COLOR] control for each channel to obtain effects and adjust the sound qualities of the music tracks input to each channel, creating impromptu performances. Additionally, adjust the [PARAMETER] to obtain more diverse expression. BEAT FX: Equipped with eleven types of BEAT FX. Link a range of effects to BPM to add more variety to a performance. Equipped with [FX FREQUENCY] that allows you to choose the frequency band to add effects for greater freedom when performing. SEND/RETURN: An independent SEND/RETURN section is provided, allowing an external effects unit to be used at the same time as onboard FX. In addition to the existing method of using insert-style SEND/ RETURN effects for handling RMX series effects, the RETURN AUX method of assigning RETURN sound to a channel and thus allowing the original sound to be combined freely with the effects sound to produce a more personal sound. In addition to external hardware effects unit, countless effects applications on iOS devices can be utilized through a simple, single-USB cable connection.

Applies an echo effect, with the sound delayed slightly after the original sound output several times and gradually attenuated.

Turning the control to the left produces a gate effect, and turning it to the right produces a band pass filter effect.

White noise generated inside this unit is mixed in to the sound of the channel via the filter and output.

Outputs sound that has passed through a filter.

Types of BEAT FX

Turn counterclockwise: Applies the echo effect to the mid-range only. Turn clockwise: Applies the echo effect to the high-range only.

Turn counterclockwise: Produces a gate effect making the sound tighter, with a reduced sense of volume. Turn to right: Steadily decreases the band pass filter bandwidth.

Turn counterclockwise: Gradually decreases the cut-off frequency of the filter through which the white noise passes. Turn clockwise: Gradually increases the cutoff frequency of the filter through which the white noise passes. Turn counterclockwise: Gradually decreases the low-pass filter’s cut-off frequency. Turn clockwise: Gradually increases the highpass filter’s cut-off frequency.

Turning the control to the right increases feedback.

Turning the [COLOR] control to the left adjusts the gate effect. Turn to the right to tighten the sound. Turning the [COLOR] to the right adjusts the center frequency. Turn to the right to increase the center frequency.

Turn to the right to increase white noise volume.

The sound quality can be adjusted by

turning the [EQ/ISO (HI, MID, LOW)] control.

Turn to the right to increase resonance.
