Pioneer DJM 1000 Mixer

I am almost tempted to try this!If u scroll down lower in the pioneer thread u can see the rotary version.

http://www.pioneerprodjforums.com/u...s&Number=102959

Looks Great...and sure it will be! Bit expensive like, A&H Xone Beater????

I Reckon so...

Looks nice.

Nothing amazingly new but looks like a good piece of kit.

Cheers

Actually at first I thought WTF are Pioneer doing, but now I see this could be a good move for the major club installations, theres no FX unit or sampler built in, so this would probably make the clubs go for installing an EFX500 or 1000, making DJs be more creative and not just use the same effects over and over.

But price wise, if you want this and an EFX1000, be prepared to sell your soul.

The rotary version looked really good but the price, well, nah.

Too many useless features and EQ's. I'm already hating this mixer.

I'd have to say it doesnt look like anything special.

They have figured out a few things: how to properly wire the XLR main out jack (proper pinning, hot and cold isnt reversed like on the 500/600) -- that curve control requires more than three settings -- that thier EFX units suck ass.

The real question: does it sound any better than the previous DJMs, do the EQs still suck, and do they still heat up and break often?

It's a shite shape.

Thats really all I can say about it at this poin in time.

yea.. reminds me of behringher's knock-off of the 600.

Don't even get started

xone will still sound better.

Originally posted by Nou With no effects unit, I wouldnt put it past Pioneer to put out something with comparable sound quality to the A&H. The thing that has always dirtied the sound on the 500/600/3000 was the interaction it had routing around the effects unit, and that on the 500/600 at least it dropped it down to 44.1khz/16bits durring effects. Im optomistic about this mixer.

i too am waiting to see what this mixer can do

especially if there's no effects, they had to have spent all the R&D on sound quality
buying this would work well with the efx-1000, which i'm sure they've taken into consideration in the design

I wont buy it, but I do hope it makes the 500/600 go a little lower in price. Thats all I need .

but after playing on the 600 for so long, i need something new to play with, there's only so much you can do with on board effects

or they spent the money on advertising and giving their products away

and that plus the efx-1000? i'd have to sell all my belongings to be able to afford that

looks awesome.. hopefully the djm600 price will drop even more when this baby comes out.

Apparently the Isolator knobs are made because of the EFX-1000.
The isolator knobs totally kills that EQ, a function that the EFX-500
has but the EFX-1000 does not have so that you will have to buy the DJM-1000. Clever.

no where near as good as the Ecler nuo-5

It's just too over the top in shit. The more i look at it the more i hate it. I really don't like it's eqs, i perfer a full cut isolator eq like on the empath, also im not down w/ all the effects i'll never use. If it had something like a precision vcf filter then i would like it. I also hate it more if the price starts at the $2500 range. For that cash i could buy a rotary xone: 92 and still have $$$ for some vinyl.

It's probably me, but i never really fell in love with pioneer dj equipment for some reason, even when the cdj-1000 first came out, my friends were excited, but i really didn't give a crap about it...

whoa there buddy,

you might not like the pioneer range of mixers, but it wont deny the fact that when you play out at a local club 9 times out of 10 it will be the djm series.

they are really one of the most industry standard mixers out here in the US.

the cdj 1000 mk2 is the best investment i have made thus far-- that is second to buying my turntables! they are a god send and it has opened up my mind in terms of being alot more creative with my sets. now i use 3 sources in the mix, i got music thats constantly being looped or what not.

just to clarify i am in no way a fan of the pioneer line of mixers, i am currently in love with my a+h xone 62.

i am curious as to how this new flagship pioneer model will sound.

its probably best to reserve judgement until its actually out and you can try it. until then it really isnt worth speculating as to whether this thing will be great or shit or anywhere in between. what i can say is, i never liked the plastiky rotaries on the djm500. the rotaries on the 1000 look very similar to the ones on my virus b - hopefully will be rubber coated too - those are amazing fun to twiddle and if the mechanics of the rotary system allow for the kind of expressiveness i can get on my virus, whilst mixing records then...wow. im glad they ditched the FX unit which i felt was pretty useless on a machine costing that much. the effects were poor even when stacked up against free VSTi effects, and all the freebie softies were more controllable.

you people know that the control surface is tilted (very much like the access virus indigo synth)? i only saw it yesterday when i saw a pic of it side on and at the back. the dimensions are huge. its 19 inchs across (including rack ears), 14 inchs in width and at the back its 7 inchs deep. this. thing. is. gigantic. on the upside, i could rack it with the rest of my studio gear on my 12u studio rack. i imagine it would be rather nice too. on the downside, i couldnt afford in the next 5 years and they havent even published the RRP yet. its gonna be expensive. forgone conclusion.

i just had to hate on something.

That's cool that the mixer is slanted in an downward angle.
I think that'll come in handy.

Any news on the rotary one?
