Before start Before start Features The next in the DJM Series from Pioneer DJ, the world standard in the disco and club scene, the DJM-900NXS2 is a professional mixer for DJs.

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, pow- erful 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 opera- tions, and providing fine grained operability. The DJM-900NXS2 features a redesigned EQ CURVE andFADER CURVE, allowing a more natural mix than ever before. FX 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.

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.

Furthermore, a single USB connection allows endless effects applica- tions to be used from mobile devices, in addition to external hardware effects.
