The CDJ-800MK2

The CDJ-800MK2 retained the same key design themes of its big brother, the CDJ-1000MK2, and has a strong installed base, especially in the club and bar sector and among bedroom DJs and enthusiasts. Its revisions have also been influenced by consultation with the DJ community and many of the new features on the CDJ-1000MK3 are carried through into the CDJ-800MK2. The JOG wheel retains the non-slip metallic finish of the CDJ-1000MK3 and the subtle silver trim on the wheel, as well as the same features on the On JOG Display (brighter, larger cue point and 45˚ marks). The feel of the JOG wheel is tweaked to mirror that of the CDJ-1000MK2. The track data display is of a higher resolution (multicolour and fluorescent) and the address data has been extended to include the complete track. Resume play is also included alongside the backlighting of the re-loop button. In addition, it’s now possible to make short beat loops on the CDJ-800MK2 due to the inclusion of an AUTO BEAT LOOP command: by pushing the loop-in button, DJs can create a one-per-eight BEAT LOOP. With digital connectivity, the CDJ-800MK2 can be at the centre of a full digital environment, providing a deck that offers the core professional features that have made Pioneer the mark by which other tabletop CD systems are measured.

New compact DJM-400 2ch Mixer with in-loop sampler and digital beat effects - that’s Big on Performance

‘Pioneer is a recognised innovator in professional DJ products and we’ve created a high-quality compact 2 channel mixer that’s tailored to the demands of DJs mixing in bars and smaller clubs and those mobile artists who demand a reliable, robust and high-quality mixer. The digital beat effects and in-loop sampler combined with the digital circuitry ensure that this compact mixer lacks for nothing in the creativity it provides and the quality of the sound,’ comments Mark Grotefeld, European Marketing Manager, Pioneer Europe. Although the smallest mixer in Pioneer’s range, the DJM-400 packs a wide variety of effects for creative mixing. The effects, that automatically detect the BPM of the music and sync to the beats include: Delay, Echo, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Robot and Roll, all of which are processed at 24bits for the highest quality sound. In addition, by using the newly-adopted Beat Select Button, the DJM-400 automatically sets the effect time linked to the BPM for more intuitive play and responsive remixing. The intelligent 96kHz/24bit sampler automatically detects the tempo of a track during playback, sampling it for four beats, then loops the sample. As the sampled audio is in sync with the beat of the track being played (no matter the tempo) the DJ is given more time to be creative. Samples are automatically beat matched and up to five samples can be stored in memory. Each of the DJM-400’s channels has a 3-band Kill EQ which ranges from +9dB to -∞(infinity) for total control of the sound. The DJM-400 has been designed with as a perfect partner for the MP3 compatible CDJ-200 both in terms of style and function. When combined, these units create a small, portable yet powerful and robust DJ setup that offers exceptional versatility and performance. The DJM-400 has a wide range of features. Some of the additional highlights include: - MIC/AUX switch: to select from either two MIC connections or one stereo LINE connection - Fader Start: connect a Pioneer CDJ player with a control cable and playback can be started by simply sliding the cross fader or channel fader - Cross fader curve adjust: adapts to the DJs mixing style - Talk over: automatically attenuates the volume by -20db so an MC can talk over the track - Peak Level Meter: Allows you to check the peak level of the input audio for each channel or the master
