Here are the most popular versions of Pioneer Mixers today:

Pioneer DJM-400 Professional DJ Mixer

Pioneer DJM-400 Professional DJ Mixer

The DJM-400 audio 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 24-bit/96kHz 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 for a total of 12 seconds of sample time.

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 24-bits for the highest quality sound.

A new beat select button allows more intuitive and aggressive DJ playing and remixing. Each channel has 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 professional DJs. It has the ability to select either of 2 microphone connections or one stereo line connection. A fader start that...

Pioneer DJM-800 Professional DJ Mixer

Pioneer DJM-800 Professional DJ Mixer

Pioneer's DJ music mixers have a reputation for providing high-quality audio and reliability. The 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 24-bit/96kHz sampling and effect capabilities.

High Quality Audio: The analog signal from the player passes through the shortest signal route, first digitized at 24-bit/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 32-bit 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 pro 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...




Pioneer DJM-1000 Mixer

Pioneer DJM-1000 Mixer

The Pioneer DJM-1000 mixer builds on the legendary DJM-600 by taking away the onboard effects (by popular request) and adding a link to connect it directly to the EFX-1000 plus 2 send and return channels. It also has connections for future Pioneer CD players and the DXJ-X1, plus features a BPM sync function that locks the tempos of all equipment attached.

A slightly angled interface makes this the most comfortable club mixer around. The DJM-1000 is designed for superb sound quality, transmitting analog signals via the shortest possible path and converting them to digital signals with a high-quality 24-bit/96kHz A/D converter, optimizing the signals for the digital mixing stage. 32-bit DSP means club DJs can generate pristine sound.

To make the most of the DJM-1000's new features, Pioneer has taken great care in perfecting its sound quality, including a high-rigidity chassis to cut down vibrations that might affect the sound. The power section has an R-core transformer, making the DJM-1000 ideal for club performances with a clear and powerful sound.

The included 3-band isolator lets you control the level of each band from -∞dB to +6dB (kill) on each band or attenuate and accent partial bands. A 2-system, 3-type send/return (pre insert/post insert/aux) is also provided to allow multiple connection variations with external devices, such as effectors and samplers. The fader curve adjust allows you...




And don’t forget, you surely always get the best when you invest in Pioneer DJ equipment.
