service personnel.

IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 10 amp fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 10 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI
to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug
must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.

If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of
safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows;

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured RED.

How to replace the fuse: Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

If you want to dispose this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is a separate collection system for used
electronic products in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling.

Private households in the member states of the EU, in Switzerland and Norway may return their used electronic products free of charge to
designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one).

For countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal.

Features

This unit is a standard type DJ mixer for professional DJs that carries over the tech­nology of the Pioneer DJM series, the world standard in club sound. Not only is it
equipped with a wide variety of functions for DJ performances, including PRO DJ
LINK, SOUND COLOR FX and BEAT EFFECT, it also uses a high sound quality design
and a panel layout with high operability to provide strong support for performances
to all professional DJs active in the club scene.

SOUND CARD

This unit is equipped with “sound card/ USB audio interface”.
! Up to 4 sets of audio signals from a single computer can be assigned to the dif-

ferent channels and mixed.

! DVS (Digital Vinyl System) software time code signals played from a DJ player

or analog player can be output to the user’s DVS software. This enables DJ play
using DVS software without all the complicated connections.

! Up to 4 sets of audio signals from the different channels (channels 1 to 4, REC

OUT, crossfader sides A and B and microphone) can be output to the computer.
This is very convenient for recording the mixed sound.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

Efforts have been made for improved sound quality in the digital/ analog inputs/
outputs. Sound processing with 96 kHz sampling, a 24-bit high sound quality A/
D converter and a 32-bit high sound quality D/ A converter result in more powerful,
high grade sound.
96 kHz 24-bit USB audio is supported.

SOUND COLOR FX

This unit is equipped with 6 types of effects. Effects can be obtained simply by turn­ing the [COLOR] controls provided for each of the channels, letting DJs adjust the
sound quality of the tracks input to the different channels and make improvisational
performances.

BEAT EFFECT

The BEAT EFFECT function well-received on the DJM series is carried over and
further evolved.
This unit has been newly equipped with an [X-PAD] for achieving various effects
by touch operation, allowing you to achieve intuitive live performances with great
freedom.

CHANNEL FADER

A newly developed high reliability fader is used for the channel fader.
Compared to channel faders on previous models in the DJM series, this new fader
offers improved endurance with respect to deterioration due to dust, liquids, etc.,
getting on the fader. Smooth operation is maintained even under tough usage
conditions.

PRO DJ LINK

The PRO DJ LINK functions can be used when a Pioneer DJ player supporting PRO
DJ LINK (CDJ-2000, CDJ-900 etc.), a computer on which rekordbox is installed and
this unit are connected by LAN cable.
For details on PRO DJ LINK, see About PRO DJ LINK on page 14.

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.

Caractéristiques

Cet appareil est une table de mixage DJ standard pour DJ professionnels intégrant
la technologie spécifique des DJM Pioneer, la référence mondiale pour les discothè­ques. Présentant non seulement une multitude de fonctions utiles pour les presta­tions DJ, comme PRO DJ LINK, SOUND COLOR FX et BEAT EFFECT, mais aussi une
conception de haute qualité sonore et une disposition pratique des commande sur
la console facilitant l’exploitation, cet appareil fournit une assistance considérable à
tous les DJ professionnels opérant dans les discothèques.

CARTE SON

Cet appareil est pourvu d’une “carte sonore/ interface pour audio USB”.
! En tout 4 jeux de signaux audio d’un seul ordinateur peuvent être attribués aux

différents canaux et mixés.
! Les signaux des codes temporels de logiciel DVS (Digital Vinyl System) lus par

un lecteur DJ ou un lecteur analogique peuvent être retransmis au logiciel DVS

de l’utilisateur. Ceci permet une lecture DJ par le logiciel DVS sans raccorde-

ments complexes.
! En tout 4 jeux de signaux audio des différents canaux (canaux 1 à 4, REC OUT,

côtés crossfader A et B et microphone) peuvent être transmis à l’ordinateur.

Ceux-ci s’avèrent pratiques pour l’enregistrement du son mixé.

HAUTE QUALITÉ SONORE

Des mesures ont été prises pour améliorer la qualité du son sur les entrées et
sorties numériques et analogiques. Un son plus puissant et de plus grande qualité
est obtenu grâce à un échantillonnage à 96 kHz, un convertisseur A/ N 24 bits et un
convertisseur N/ A 32 bits, tous deux de haute qualité sonore.
Le son USB 24 bits 96 kHz est pris en charge.

SOUND COLOR FX

Cet appareil offre 6 types d’effets. Des effets peuvent être obtenus en tournant sim­plement les commandes [COLOR] correspondant à chaque canal, ce qui permet
aux DJ d’ajuster la qualité sonore des morceaux transmis aux différents canaux et
d’improviser.

BEAT EFFECT

La fonction BEAT EFFECT qui a fait ses preuves sur les modèles DJM a été introduite
et améliorée.
Cet appareil a été dernièrement équipé d’un [X-PAD] qui permet de reproduire des
effets variés par simple toucher et d’obtenir des performances plus intuitives et
libres en live.

FADER DE CANAL

Un tout nouveau fader, extrêmement fiable, est utilisé comme fader de canal.
Par rapport aux faders de canaux utilisés sur les anciens modèles DJM, ce nouveau
fader offre une meilleure résistance aux détériorations dues à la poussière, aux
liquides, etc. susceptibles de se répandre dessus. Le fonctionnement reste facile et
régulier même sous des conditions d’utilisation sévères.

PRO DJ LINK

Les fonctions PRO DJ LINK peuvent être utilisées lorsqu’un lecteur DJ Pioneer com­patible PRO DJ LINK (CDJ-2000, CDJ-900 etc.), un ordinateur sur lequel rekordbox
est installé et cet appareil sont reliés par un câble LAN.
Pour le détail sur PRO DJ LINK, reportez-vous à la page 15, À propos de PRO DJ
LINK.

DISPOSITION STANDARD

Cet appareil présente une disposition des commandes identique à celle de tous les
DJM Pioneer, la référence mondiale en matière de console de mixage DJ.
La disposition simple et directe du panneau de commande facilite non seulement
les prestations DJ mais permet aussi aux DJ utilisant cet appareil pour la première
fois des manipulations sans tâtonnement, si bien que cet appareil peut être utilisé
sans crainte comme console de mixage permanente de la discothèque.
