[quipment]

Singapore - 06 April 2011 - In recent years DJs utilizing PC-based DJ software are on the rise, as is the need for dedicated interface with different types of DJ software. In order to meet these needs, Pioneer will release a high performance, fully digital mixer featuring an operational interface dedicated to the TRAKTOR SCRATCH 2 DJ software - the brand new DJM-T1.

The DJM-T1 is equipped with controller function for the TRAKTOR series, meaning that you can utilize the functions of the TRAKTOR software without having to connect an external controller. It also comes equipped with a powerful internal USB soundcard*1, which allows you to control TRAKTOR SCRATCH 2's scratching function etc., using the included CONTROL CD or CONTROL VINYL*2. High quality faders are used for the channel faders and crossfader, providing high durability and usability for the user. As for sound quality, the DJM-T1 inherits all of the high sound quality design features developed and utilized throughout our DJM-series products for clear, powerful sound.



Main Features
1) Controller function for directly controlling TRAKTOR series features
The DJM-T1 is equipped with controller function for the TRAKTOR series, meaning that you can utilize the features of the TRAKTOR software without having to connect an external controller. Controls for Browse (song selection) and Transport (play, fast forward, rewind, etc.) are located right on the upper section of the mixer, which allows you to find tracks and even mix smoothly without ever leaving the mixer. Performance controls (EFFECT, LOOP, HOT CUE, SAMPLER) are located on the left and right of the mixer and are laid out in accordance with the TRAKTOR GUI to allow you to quickly and accurately operate TRAKTOR softwares. Each button lights up in sync with TRAKTOR, allowing you to grasp the status of the software right on the mixer without ever having to look up at the PC.

2) Scratch control utilizing DJ player turntables
The DJM-T1 is equipped with a powerful USB soundcard, and is recognized by Native Instruments as a TRAKTOR SCRATCH CERTIFIED mixer, allowing connectivity and operation with the TRAKTOR SCRATCH 2 software. DJs can use the included CONTROL CD or CONTROL vinyl with their DJ players as TRAKTOR SCRATCH controllers to use the software's scratch function with turntables. A seamlessly integrated version of TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO 2 software is also included, meaning you can start DJing right away.

3) High quality faders with advanced durability and operability
Our newly developed channel faders and cross fader employs a slide construction supported by two metal shafts for the fader knobs. This not only provides smooth, sturdy operation but nearly three times more durability compared to previous models (e.g., the DJM-800) for the channel fader. This design also minimizes the effect of liquid and dust that may get inside the channel fader. The cross fader on the DJM-T1 utilizes a magnetic construction exclusive to Pioneer that offers extremely high durability, enabling to be used more than 10million times. The operational load, fader curve*3, and cut lag*4 can also be adjusted to your preference.

4) High sound quality design for clear, powerful sound output
The DJM-T1 inherits all of the high sound quality design features developed and utilized throughout our DJM series products. Analog and digital circuitry are separated, and any analog signal input is converted to digital at the shortest distance to reduce the generation of noise. The DJM-T1 also includes an internal soundcard. This allows any sound signals output by a PC to be input directly as a digital signal with no deterioration in sound quality. A powerful digital/analog converter is employed to achieve clear, powerful sound quality not only for the master output but for booth output as well.

5) Internal USB soundcard with multiple output points for various needs
The DJM-T1 is equipped with an internal USB soundcard. This means that no external soundcard is required, and you can connect the DJM-T1 to your PC with a single USB cable. You can also use the configuration utility tool installed on the PC to change the output signal from six(6) points of the mixer based on your individual needs, be it for DJing, recording, or production*5. The Traktor Scratch Duo 2 software included will allow you to easily record your performance from these output points, applying Effect, Loop, etc to add original arrangements.

6) Other features
- Microphone, AUX terminals located on the front of the mixer. This allows smooth and easy connections even while DJing.
- Increased grip by utilizing rubber knobs for ISOLATOR/EFFECT/LOOP volume controls.
- Multi-input selector for switching between CD/PHONO/USB inputs in one step.
- Three band isolator type equalizer that allows a wide range of level control from +6 dB to -∞ (cut) for HI/MID/LOW ranges individually.
