DB. Plus the waveguide shaped tweeter and

independently driven woofer present a wide, deep

sweet spot for optimal sound whether you are

sitting to produce music or standing to DJ.

The S-DJs are the only monitor speakers to offer

alternate between up to four audio channels without

the inconvenience of reconnecting. For added

comfort, the external manual controller gives you

access to your favourite features at the touch of a

button. Adjust the volume, mute the speakers, switch

audio inputs and turn on the EQ all from the same

place. And, unlike many monitor speakers, the S-DJs

present a total mute function – allowing you preser ve

your volume settings and frame of reference.

Compact and stylish, with a gunmetal woofer and

controller, the S-DJs offer the high-quality sound

you would expect form Pioneer, combined with

unparalleled flexibility – the ideal addition to the

modern DJ/producer’s set-up.

SDJ-08 & SDJ-05:

SEAMLESS SWITCHING FROM
DJ TO PRODUCER SET-UPS

DESIGNED TO SUIT ALL YOUR
STUDIO ROLES

Producer

Wide sweet spot ensures optimal sound along the length of your

production desk, wherever you are sitting in relation to the speakers.

“The playing field has changed. In the old days
you had DJs and producers. Now we’re all one.
But you have limited space with your studio
and DJ set-up, you can’t have different set of
monitors all over the room. So having a set of
hybrid speakers, being able to switch between
the two, is the perfect solution.” (John 00 Fleming)

The waveguide shape of the tweeter delivers a wider-than-normal sweet spot, delivering

optimal sound quality across the length of a DJ/producer’s studio set-up. And the

independently driven tweeter and woofer increase the vertical range, so you can switch

from sitting to standing with no loss of clarity.

Turn EQ off for accurate, neutral sound whilst making music.

The controller lets you mute, switch between music inputs or flick on

the EQ without moving from your seat.

DJ

Tweeter and woofer optimally positioned to provide ideal frequency

characteristics, even when you stand up to DJ.

Keep the EQ of f to accurately compare your productions with other

tracks, or flick it on to enjoy the low frequency, big club sound.

Compact and stylish, with a gunmetal woofer and controller, the S-DJs

offer the high-quality sound you would expect form Pioneer, combined

with unparalleled flexibility – the ideal addition to the modern DJ/

producer’s set-up.
