TWO-CHANNEL 96 KhZ/24 BIT
MIXER OFFERS WORLD’S FIRST IN-LOOP SAMPLER
DJM-400 Offers Perfect Match for Pioneer’s
CDJ Turntables
ANAHEIM (January 19, 2006) – Pioneer Electronics
(USA) Inc. today introduced a new two-channel
mixer with the world’s first in-loop sampler
and provided demonstrations at the NAMM
show at the Anaheim Convention Center. The
new mixer matches Pioneer’s CDJ-200 CD turntable
in both function and design, allowing DJs
to expand the range of DJing and remixing.
Its new symmetrical design is the same size
as a CDJ-200 enabling an easy fit in a compact
DJ coffin.
World’s First In-Loop Sampler
An intelligent 96kHz/24bit sampler automatically
detects the tempo of a song during playback,
sampling it for a length of 4 beats; then
loops the sample. Since the sampled sound
is in sync with the beat of the tune being
played, no matter the tempo, it enables
live remixing like never before. Samples
are automatically stretched and compressed
to match the beat. The DJM-400 will store
five samples onboard.
“The combination of the new DJM-400 with
the CDJ-200 is a great combination for pro
DJs looking for a great entry-level system,”
said Karl Detken, director of product planning
for Pro DJ products at Pioneer Electronics
(USA) Inc. “It offers the reliability, a
wide range of features, and the high quality
audio for which Pioneer products are known.”
Onboard Effects and Equalization
Onboard effects automatically detect the
beats per minute of the music and sync to
the beats. The DJM-400 includes seven onboard
effects: Delay, Echo, Filter, Flanger, Phaser,
Robot and Roll. All effects are processed
at 24bits for the highest quality sound.
A new Beat Select button allows more intuitive
and aggressive DJ playing and remixing.
Each channel has a 3-band isolator EQ with
full cut capability. The EQ ranges from
+9dB to -∞ (infinity) for total control
of the sound.
The DJM-400 offers a number of key features
for a professional DJ, including:
- The ability to select either of two microphone
connections or one stereo line connection;
- A fader start so playback can be started
by simply sliding the cross fader or channel
fader when connected to a Pioneer CDJ product;
- A peak level meter so the DJ can check
audio input levels for each channel or for
the master;
- A Talk Over feature that automatically
lowers track volume for the DJ to speak
over the track.
