PIONEER’S DJM-800 IS WORLD’S
FIRST 96KHZ/24 BIT MIXER THAT CAN HARMONICALLY
MIX AND REMIX
USING SOUND COLOR EFFECTS
ANAHEIM (January 19, 2006)
– The DJM-800 mixer introduced at NAMM today
by Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. gives
professional DJs the tool they need to expand
their musical horizon, with capabilities
for mixing records, remixing, producing
and performing. Pioneer’s DJ mixers have
a reputation for providing high quality
audio and reliability. The new DJM-800 incorporates
features recommended by many professional
DJs and club engineers, raising the bar
on sound fidelity and ease of mixer operation.
Most important are its high quality 96kHz/24
bit sampling and harmonic mixing capabilities.
High Quality Audio
The analog signal from the player passes
through the shortest signal route, first
digitized at 96kHz / 24bit through a pro
A/D converter where it reaches the digital
mixing stage with the best sound possible.
The mixing is carried out by 32bit DSP with
minimal deterioration of sound quality.
A highly rigid chassis minimizes unnecessary
vibration, which could adversely affect
sound quality. The mixer also incorporates
a dual-shield structure for eliminating
entry of digital noise and a high performance
power supply for noise-free power.
Sound Color Effects For
A New Style of DJ Mixing
The world’s first DJ mixer with Auto Harmonic
Tuning detects the key of song and automatically
corrects it to the closest true key. In
music theory terms, when a DJ raises the
pitch of a song in the key of C by three
percent, the song is no longer in the key
of C, but somewhere between C and C sharp.
This makes it impossible to perform a perfect
harmonic mix. Pioneer’s new Harmonic Tuning
feature takes the key of the source audio
and adjusts the pitch until it is that of
a standard note.
Of course a DJ still has to know some basics
about music, such as which keys match, in
order to pull off an acoustically perfect
harmonic mix. World class DJs currently
spend thousands of hours learning the keys
of their music and re-mastering their library
to be in “perfect pitch”. Now the DJM-800
makes it easier to perform a “Harmonic Mix”.
“As the art of DJ mixing
becomes more and more sophisticated, Pioneer
raises the level of its equipment to provide
the tools needed by today’s professionals,”
said Karl Detken, director of product planning
for Pro DJ products at Pioneer Electronics
(USA) Inc.
Effects
The DJM-800 incorporates a highpass / lowpass
filter, notch filter and bit crusher effect
for all channels. In conjunction with the
additional Beat Effects, 50 combinations
of effects are possible.

Higher quality effects at 24bits make for
a cleaner sounding remix. The effects automatically
detect the BPM of the music and sync to
the beats. DJM-800 includes some familiar
effects, plus some new ones: Echo, Delay,
Reverse Delay, Pan, Transform, Filter, Flanger,
Phaser, Reverb, Robot, Chorus, Roll and
Reverse Roll.
Digital Input/Output terminals
Digital inputs and outputs allow for connection
with other digital-capable equipment for
a fully digital chain, without degradation
of sound quality. The DJM-800 is not only
ideal for the club professional but also
great in a recording studio environment
where high fidelity sound is required. Input
frequencies of 44.1/48/96kHz are compatible;
output frequency is selectable between 48/96kHz.
Fully Assignable MIDI function
There are a total of 61 assignable controls.
The MIDI signal can be sent from almost
all knobs and switches on the surface of
the DJM-800 to external midi equipment.
Since the mixer can send out many MIDI signals,
it can be used as a flexible interface to
music software or hardware such as Ableton
Live or EDIROL V-4 Video Mixer.
Numerous other features
make the DJM-800 ideal for a sophisticated
DJ.
· Cross Fader Assign allows the DJ to assign
each channel’s input to the cross fader.
· Fader Curve Adjust allows the user to
change the cross fader/channel fader curve.
· When connected to a Pioneer CDJ player,
the Fader Start allows playback to be started
by simply sliding the cross fader or channel
fader.
· A built-in three-band equalizer enables
level control within a –26dB to +6dB range
for high, mid, low bands, respectively.
· The Talk Over feature automatically lowers
track volume so an MC can talk over the
track.
· The Mic Signal Cut eliminates the microphone
sound output to the booth monitor to prevent
feedback.
· The DJ can check the peak level of the
input audio for each channel and the master.
The DJM-800 will be available late February
2006 for a manufacturer’s suggested retail
price of $1,699.
