1 Designed for high sound quality

Analog signals are transmitted by the shortest circuitry and converted to digital format at 96 kHz sampling rate via a 24-bit high quality A/D converter. As a result, signals are passed to the digital mixing stage in the best possible state. Mixing is performed with a 32-bit DSP, totally eliminating any loss in fidelity, while the ideal level of filtering is introduced to produce optimum sound for DJ play. These features are housed in a high-rigidity chassis with doubleshielded construction together with a high-performance power section and other features of the high-fidelity technology also used in the DJM-1000, thus guaranteeing the utmost in clear and powerful club sounds.

2 Sound-color effects

1) Harmonic effect

Equipped with the industry’s first “harmonic effect” function that detects the track’s key and provides optimum tuning for DJ play. This new function allows smoother, more natural DJ mixing compared to earlier models which allowed DJ play with track tempo adjustment alone.

2) Modulation effect

“Filter,” “crush,” and “sweep” effects have been added to each channel. These allow a greater breadth to DJ play by permitting the user to apply effects more intuitively. Also, by combining these with “beat effects,” some 50 kinds of effect can be produced, giving the user a vast potential for remix and DJ play.

3 Beat effects

The “beat effects” so popular on the DJM-600 are continued here. Effects can be applied in linkage to the BPM (Beats Per Minute) count, thus allowing the production of a variety of sounds. Some of the effects include delay, echo, reverse delay, pan, trance, filter, flanger, phaser, reverb, robot, chorus, roll, and reverse roll.

4 Digital IN/OUT

The digital input connectors support each of the sampling rates (44.1/ 48/96 kHz), thus allowing the connection of digital components for a DJ system with no sound degradation. Likewise the digital output connectors support sampling rates 96 kHz/ 24-bit and 48 kHz/24-bit, making the unit even more convenient for cutting studio tracks or on other occasions when high sound fidelity is required. (Only linear PCM is supported.)

5 MIDI OUT

Virtually all the dial and switch information of the DJM-800 can be output in MIDI signal format, allowing external components to be controlled via MIDI.

6 Other functions

¶ A control cable can be used to connect the unit to a Pioneer DJ CD

player, thus allowing playback to be linked to operation of the fader (“fader start play”).

¶ Built-in “3-band equalizer” supports level control within the range

of +6 dB to –26 dB in each bandwidth.

¶ “Cross fader assignment” function allows each channel’s input to

be assigned flexibly to a cross fader.

¶ “Talk over” function automatically lowers track volume during

microphone input.

¶ “Fader curve adjustment” function allows modification of the

cross fader and channel fader curves.

¶ “Microphone cut” function mutes microphone output to the

booth monitor, thus preventing uncomfortable feedback.

¶ By replacing the channel fader section with the optional rotary

volume kit DJC-800RV, the slider control can be replayed with a rotary type control.

CONNECTIONS (CONNECTING EXTERNAL EFFECTORS, OUTPUT CONNECTORS/ABOUT MIDI CONNECTORS)

CONNECTING EXTERNAL EFFECTORS, OUTPUT CONNECTORS

Master output

This unit is furnished with balanced output MASTER 1 (supporting XLR plugs), and unbalanced output MASTER 2 (supporting RCA plugs). Using the MASTER ATT switch, adjust the output level to match the input sensitivity of the power amplifier used. If the operating panel’s STEREO/MONO switch is set to [MONO], the master output will be a monaural combination of L+R channels.

Booth monitor output

This is a TRS output supporting Ø6.3 mm phone plugs. The sound volume for this output is controlled by the BOOTH MONITOR level dial, independently of the master output level setting.

Recording output

These are output connectors for recording, supporting RCA plugs.

Power amplifier

(analog input recording device)

Cassette deck

Digital output

This is a coaxial digital output connector, supporting RCA plugs. The sampling frequency can be set to 96 kHz/24-bit or 48 kHz/24-bit to match the connected device.

External effector

Use a cable with Ø6.3 mm phone plugs to connect the DJ mixer’s SEND connectors to the effector’s input connectors. When using an effector with monaural inputs, connect only to the DJ mixer’s L channel output. In this way, the mixed L+R audio signal will be sent to the effector. In the same way, use a cable with Ø6.3 mm phone plugs to connect the DJ mixer’s RETURN connectors to the output connectors of the effector. If the effector has only monaural output, connect to the DJ mixer’s L channel input only. The signal from the effector will be input to both L and R channels. When using an external effector, set the effect selector to [SND/RTN].
