Features

SOUND COLOR FX In addition to a multitude of functions such as BEAT FX and PRO DJ LINK for use in DJ performances, this mixer features a high sound quality, high reliability design, a panel layout providing high operability, and can be connected to a wide array of devices, offering superior support for any DJ performance.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

The DJM-900NXS2 is designed for thorough improvement of sound quality, for all digital and analog outputs. Digital audio from the USB and SPD I/F is compatible with 96 kHz/24-bit high resolution audio. Additionally, it utilizes 24-bit high sound quality AD converters and 32-bit high sound quality DA converters to deliver faithful reproduction of original sound. The DJM-900NXS2 performs DSP mixing processing at 96 kHz/64-bit, achieving high-density, vivid sound with high resolution and a wide range, offering listeners the experience of clear, warm, powerful club sound.

EQ & FADER

Cross faders and channel faders operate smoothly without wobbling, and are highly durable. Also, effects on inside the faders caused by liquid and dust are minimized. An independently developed “MAGVEL FADER” magnetic system has been used to allow scratch play with the crossfader, durable enough to withstand more than 10 000 000 operations, and providing fine grained operability. The DJM-900NXS2 features a redesigned EQ CURVE andFADER CURVE, allowing a more natural mix than ever before.

PRO DJ LINK

The PRO DJ LINK functions can be used when a Pioneer DJ player supporting PRO DJ LINK (CDJ-2000NXS2, XDJ-1000, etc.), a computer on which rekordbox is installed and this unit are connected by LAN cable.

KUVO

The KUVO service can be used when a Pioneer DJ player supporting PRO DJ LINK (CDJ-2000NXS2, XDJ-1000, etc.) and this unit are connected by LAN cable in a club in which KUVO (NXS-GW) has been installed.

PLUG AND PLAY

The DJM-900-NXS2 is equipped with two internal sound cards, so performances using DJ software can be achieved immediately after connection with a computer using a USB cable, with no need to make any troublesome settings, allowing DJs to smoothly take over from each other. Additionally, using CDJ-2000NXS2 connected to PRO DJ LINK allows HID control of DJ software by connecting with a single USB cable.CONTROL VINYL (Records) or DJ software scratch functions of DJ software that uses CONTROL CD can be controlled.

STANDARD LAYOUT

This unit continues 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.

The DJM-900NXS2 is equipped with SOUND COLOR FX, BEAT FX, and SEND/RETURN, making a diverse range of DJ performances possible. SOUND COLOR FX: 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. Additionally, adjusting the [PARAMETER] control allows a more varied range of expression to be achieved. BEAT FX : The BEAT EFFECT function well-received on the DJM series has been carried over and further evolved in the DJM-900NXS2. The [X-PAD] equipped allows users to select a beat directly with touch-based operation, allowing swift, intuitive, reliable performance. Additionally, the DJM-900NXS2 features a [FX FREQUENCY] button that allows selection of frequency bands to which to add effects, offering a greater level of freedom in performance than ever before. SEND/RETURN: The independent SEND/RETURN section allows simultaneous use of external effector with onboard effects. The DJM-900NXS2 allows SEND/RETURN of effects using the INSERT method utilized in previous models in the RMX series, as well as RETURN AUX selection, allowing effects to be assigned to the RETURN audio channel to blend the original and effects sounds freely for more individual performances. Furthermore, a single USB connection allows endless effects applications to be used from mobile devices, in addition to external hardware effects.
