Pioneer CD Players for DJ's

I don�t have to introduce most of you to Pioneer since it has a long history in electronics,

and you have probably already heard about its DJ equipment. If you haven�t, here is a little on Pioneer.

It is a Japanese company based in Tokyo, they started out in the 1930�s as an electronics repair shop. They showed up in the US in the 1970�s.

Nowadays, Pioneer produces a variety of electronics for home, car, and business use as well as DVD and VHS products. But the main reason, they are honoured in the electronics industry, is their DJ equipment.

Pioneer is known for cutting edge DJ equipment thanks to their professional R&D team always able to invent something new.

Pictured above is just one of many

For example, here is the Pioneer CDJ-1000MK3 CD/MP3 Player.

It may sound strange but this is one limitless media player. What does this mean? You can use it as both a single or dual DJ CD player with the included mixer. You can play CD's while using the MP3 player with the unique SD card.

The DJ who uses this equipment is able to control the pitch, levels, and effect separately, and there is also easy mixing with the beat matching indicator.

You�ll get a useful ripping software with it that helps you to manage all of your digital music. This means that you just have to load them onto the SD card and begin your mixing.

The Pioneer CDJ-1000 MK3 features the same robust build, polished look, and clear layout as previous CDJs. But the subtle revisions add more intuitive features, make it easier to transport music, and improve track info: refinements that make cueing, looping, scratching, and stretching a track easier than ever.

With full MP3 support including VBR files, intelligent features, such as the direct folder search button, you can quickly access files within folders on the disc for intuitive, fast cueing.

A total wide tempo range (+70% to 100%) also gives greater control than other models. An instant reverse feature is controlled with a toggle switch and can be used immediately within any track without having to stop or start.

Along with multimedia cards, SD cards are now also compatible with the CDJ-1000 MK3 so that hot cues, hot loop points, and WAV display data can be easily stored and loaded. The removable memory card can also be used in any CDJ-1000, so once you've stored your favorite cue and loop points they're stored for life. The CDJ-1000 MK3 also has a feature that allows you to duplicate memory cards.

The display of the MK3 has been improved to give more accurate display of memory points within the track. The CDJ-1000 MK3's 7" jogdial has been improved so you can quickly and easily alter the resistance of the jog wheel to tailor it to your individual style. The jogdial also features a new metallic...

The Pioneer CDJ-1000MK2 Pro CD Player is also a very useful piece DJ equipment coming in around $1,300.00. It�s not cheap, I know, but if you�re a serious DJ, you�re may not want to hesitate about getting it.

The CDJ is very useful when it comes to playing music that was never pressed on vinyl or just isn't available yet.

Its scratching mechanism makes the cd player really compatible with the turntable when using them interchangeably plus, so the speed of the start & stop functions can be adjusted by the DJ.

Plus, an additional feature keeps the master tempo voice pitch while changing the speed itself. I think, you know why this is so important and useful when doing remixes live. And of course, the CDJ is able to read most CDs, CDRS and CDRWs.

If you would like to change the rhythm of your song itself, the CDJ will allow you to set 3 different cue points what means you will be able to bounce back and forth to different parts of the song.

There are a lot of other useful features as well, such as a digital output jack which makes the CDJ top notch in the world of DJs.

It is important to know that the platter on the CDJ doesn�t move as a turntable does since the DJ has to follow a digital readout. This probably will be a bit confusing at first but you�ll get used to it.

A lesser expensive, but equally versatile piece of equipment is the Pioneer CDJ-800MK2 Professional CD/MP3 Turntable:

The MP3 audio format has taken the world by storm and now with the Pioneer CDJ-800MK2 Digital Vinyl Turntable you can play all your MP3s; CBR or VBR at any bitrate from CD-R or CD-RW.

The CDJ-800MK2's 7-inch jog dial has been improved to a slightly stiffer feel as well as a new metallic non-slip finish for better scratch performance. The jog dial display is now brighter and has been brought closer to the surface of the jog for better viewing angles.

The center display also features 45-degree markers for added visual cueing assistance. The main display can now show CD-Text and ID3 data for rapid track identification.

Expanded Internal Memory: More memory points can now be recorded to the player's internal memory for rapid recall of your commonly used cue points.Auto Beat Loop Uses four timing buttons to instantly create perfect 1, 2, 4, or 8 beat loops. When a loop has been produced manually with the loop in and loop out buttons, this feature allows instant 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 beat cuts of the initial loop. Holding the loop-in button allows you to further cut the beat-down to 1/32nd!

Quick Return enables a track to return instantly again and again to a cue point just by pressing the surface of the jog wheel.With "Wide" Pitch Control, DJs can use the +/- 100% pitch control range to create new sound effects from opposite ends of the sound spectrum and also to BPM match...
