[Pietro Farrdel]

Satu lagi mixer anyar dr Pioneer "DJM 900 nexus", Kawin silang antara DJM 2000 dan DJM 800 ini diharapkan menjadi satu gen yang bisa memenuhin kebutuhan secara analog dan digital dgn sempurna.  Menurut gw dari segi model ga berbeda jauh ama DJM 800, dan ditambahin bbrp fitur DJM 2000 di fxnya spt noise dub echo dll, yg menarik buat gw DJM 900 nexus ada xpad (* kaya2 korg gitu ...cuman single axis) dan fitur quantise yg bisa link ke CDJ 900/2000 dan disini rekordbox bakal lebih banyak berperan.....dan satu lagi nih input sourcenya tiap channel banyak input (mirip denon) dan masing2 channel bisa mengakomodir 2 channel usb kalo ga salah ..awesome...dan tentunya DVS ready mau traktor, ableton dll bisaaa.....dan kemungkinan banyak club yang akan pake DJM 900 drpd DJM 2000 mengingat ukuran dan harga... so ready for the new racuuuuun?.........

Multitude of Effects

The DJM-900nexus follows Pioneer's traditional control layout enabling an easy transition to the mixer. As with other Pioneer mixers, the DJM-900nexus features a variety of advanced sound effects that allow DJs to have more creative expressions while mixing their music. Three new Sound Color FX, two Beat Effects and an X-Pad control were added to the mixer to enhance the user's performance.

# Sound Color FX
The DJM-900nexus includes Space, Dub Echo and Gate/Comp in addition to Filter, Crush and Noise for its Sound Color FX. At any time with a simple twist of the knobs, DJs can quickly add their choice of audio effects bringing numerous combinations and arrangements to currently played music.

# Beat Effect
A total of 13 effects, including two new ones called Spiral and Melodic, can be added by the user at any time. Access to the beat effects is accomplished through a selectable knob located on the right side of the mixer.

# X-Pad
A touch screen control bar that enables quick access, control, and manipulation of the thirteen built-in beat effects. With a touch and/or slide of the X-Pad control, the user can change the parameters of each effect for further creativity in performances.

Sound Quality

Part of the DJM-900nexus's design attribute is combining functionality with great sound quality. The mixer utilizes high quality components that ensure the best possible audio output when connected to other components.

# Built-in 24bit/96kHz High Performance USB Soundcard
Pioneer developed an onboard USB soundcard that can simultaneously handle input and output audio signals from up to four (4) stereo sources through a single USB port(*1). The soundcard supports 24-bit/96kHz high resolution signal processing, and can input and output all audio signals with no degradation of sound quality. Once connected to a PC or Mac, the settings utility tool can be used to customize the mixer's output signal path to suit various purposes, such as DJ play, song recording or production(*2). Furthermore, smooth transfers between DJs are possible with the easily accessible USB port on the top surface of the mixer.

# Sound quality design
The DJM-900nexus is equipped with the same audio input and output circuits as Pioneer's flagship DJM-2000 to achieve the most accurate audio reproduction from connected sources. The 32-bit digital to analog converter supports all outputs of the mixer, including the master audio outputs, booth outputs as well as headphones. Additionally, the built-in high performance 32-bit digital signal processor (DSP) suppresses any digital and analog circuit noise by way of high quality balanced hybrid operation amps and full balanced output circuits.

Connection

With more DJs continuing to use their personal computers as part of their rig, the new DJM-900nexus is ready for a direct connection to a laptop PC or Mac, increasing its convenience and functionality.

# PRO DJ LINK
Via an Ethernet (LAN) cable, the mixer can quickly link to the latest Pioneer PRO DJ LINK compatible CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 players (with firmware version 4.00 or later(*3) or a personal computer running Pioneer's rekordbox™ software, giving users fast access to a song's beats per minute (BPM) and beat location information, resulting in a precise beat matching capability. Furthermore, the built-in quantize mode compensates for Beat Effect operation timing errors automatically, so effects are matched perfectly.

# TRAKTOR™ Functionality
Using a USB connection with a PC or Mac, the four decks (players) inside TRAKTOR can be connected simultaneously with the mixer, enabling enhanced flexibility with the software. In addition, the mixer is also TRAKTOR SCRATCH(*4) certified for TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO/DUO 2 allowing scratch control functionality when using a time code disc(*5).

# Time Code Output
Through its USB port, the mixer can output time code disc signals for DVS (Digital Vinyl System) software(*6) when used with a Pioneer CDJ player or analog record player. DJ play using DVS software can be done without difficult and complicated connections(*7).

Feature Packed

The DJM-900nexus is equipped with additional features that add to the user's DJ play.

# High performance channel faders
The slide mechanism supports the fader knobs with two metal shafts for both longevity and smooth operability. Furthermore, the new mechanism's design minimizes the effects of moisture or dust particles on the mixer's performance capabilities.

# Integrated input selector
Enables users to simultaneously switch all channel inputs.

# Indicators
The DJM-900nexus is equipped with a "USB connection indicator" to display the status of soundcard and PC/Mac communications as well as a "USB audio input indicator" to display audio inputs from a PC/Mac.

# Industry's First MIDI Signal Output(*
The DJM-900nexus features the industry's first musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) signal output (for a mixer) that changes at beat-by-beat intervals. The mixer also includes a "MIDI LFO function" to control external devices such as effecters.

# Assignable MIDI Functionality
Nearly all knobs and buttons operation information can be assigned to control other devices. The mixer can also be used as a MIDI controller.

# Switching 3-Band EQ/Isolator
Each channel of the mixer is equipped with a switchable 3-band EQ (+6dB to -26dB) and 3-band Isolator (+6dB to -∞dB).

# P-LOCK Fader Cap
Keeps the fader channel and crossfader knobs (caps) locked preventing them from physically slipping off during heavy use.

# Auto Standby
Automatically senses the presence of active operation and input signals and switches to standby mode when inputs are not detected for a long period of time.

Posted: 23 March 2011

We have recently identified an issue with a batch of pre-production DJM-900nexus mixers.

Connecting certain headphones from other manufacturers with the volume set high can trigger a protective circuit to unnecessarily power down the unit.
This issue has now been corrected with our most recent production models as of March 23rd 2011.

However, we have taken the prudent decision to withdraw the small quantity of early mass production units shipped to U.S.A. and Europe. This regrettably delays March availability to early April.

We ask those few customers who have taken delivery of a DJM-900nexus prior to March 23rd 2011 to return it to the retailer where a new model will be given in exchange.
Owners of DJM-900nexus can also contact Pioneer Service for more detailed information.

Pioneer would like to apologise to any of our customers who have been affected.
