Before start Features This unit is a standard type DJ mixer for professional DJs that carries over the tech- nology 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. What’s in the box CD-ROM USB cable Power cord Warranty card Operating instructions (this document) SOUND CARD This unit is equipped with “sound card/ 䎃 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/ 䎃 analog inputs/ 䎃 outputs. Sound processing with 96 kHz sampling, a 24-bit high sound quality A/ 䎃 D converter and a 32-bit high sound quality D/ 䎃 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 turn- ing 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.
