The DJM800
mixer 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 DJM800
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 24bit/96kHz sampling and effect capabilities.
High Quality
Audio
The analogue signal from the player passes through the shortest signal
route, first digitized at 24bit/96kHz 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 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 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 DJM800 makes it easier to perform a “Harmonic Mix”.
Effects
The DJM800 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.
The DJM800
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 DJM800
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 DJM800 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.
Rotary Volume
Knobs (optional)
The main volume fader knobs can be replaced with rotary volume knobs (DJC800RV),
which are especially valuable for extended mixing providing more subtlety
and precision.
Numerous
other features make the DJM800 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.
