LONG BEACH, (August 26, 2003) – Pioneer Corporation announced the release of two new 2-channel DJ mixers that will complement Pioneer’s groundbreaking CDJ-1000 and CDJ-800 CD turntables.
The DJM-909 and DJM-707 offer DJs innovative features; precise cross fader/fade curve control, user-customizable cross fader glide adjustment, and touch screen control of the built-in effects (DJM-909). Pioneer continually strives to meet the wide-ranging needs of the frontier DJ and these mixers do just that by combining innovative technology with proven Pioneer quality.
“Realizing the growth of the market, Pioneer has created two new battle / performance DJ mixers that will match Pioneer’s CDJ turntables in both form and function,” said Karl Detken, director of marketing for the professional audio division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “Pioneer reached out to industry professionals during the creation of these mixers, as a result these new mixers are offering improved sound quality and reliability plus a host of new effects.”
High Quality Sound Design and Durability
The DJM-909 and DJM-707 boast the highest quality in sound and design that exceed today’s battle / performance mixers offering powerful club sound in a battle mixer. This was accomplished with sensitive yet solid gripping EQ knobs, durable transform switches, and precise and accurate cross fader curve control. Most importantly, Pioneer has developed an original “non-contact” cross fader technology with unprecedented durability and reliability.
The Cross Fader and Faders
The most important feature on any battle mixer is its cross fader and fader performance. Pioneer’s DJM-707 and DJM-909 introduce the most precise and customizable cross fader in the industry to date. The cross fader is highly durable and has double fade control allowing each half of the cross fader the ability to be adjusted independently! All fader curves can also be seen and adjusted with visual reference on the mixers’ fader curve adjust screen (DJM-909). If that isn’t enough, the cross fader feel can also be adjusted to your preference (a breakthrough functionality). Each channel fader curve can be adjusted from a smooth volume change to a dynamic volume ON/OFF at the TIP of the channel faders (bottom or top). In turntablist slang, you will be able to crab-scratch the channel faders from either the top end or bottom end of the fader.
Fader Start Sync
Both mixers can connect with Pioneer’s CDJ series to employ the fader start capability. The user can automatically start or stop playback by the sliding cross-fader or channel-fader.
Mixer Layout
Both the DJM-707 and DJM-909 are similar in layout although the DJM-909 boasts built-in effects and a touch sensitive display. Both mixers also offer a very clean, open fader area for scratching and beat juggling. Both mixers have a session line-in with volume control, cueable master output, mic input, and selectable phono / line switches. In addition, the DJM-909 has a tempo tap button, cueable effects switch, and a plug in for foot switch to control effects.
Additional Features of the DJM-909
- TOUCH SCREEN AND BUILT IN EFFECTS
A total of fifty different effects incorporated in the DJM-909 can be independently assigned, utilized, & tweaked through the mixers’ user friendly touch screen control. Additional knobs also exist for further parameter adjustments. Revolutionary effect presets range from Fader Synths to Transform and from Touch Phaser to Vocoder. A send/return is also built-in to connect an external effector.
- FADER EFFECT
Fader effect can be assigned to a channel fader or cross fader from the touch screen so that the faders are capable of controlling and varying the effect’s parameter simply by moving the cross fader or channel fader.
- BEAT EFFECT
The Beat Effect is capable of synchronizing effects with the BPM for high accuracy effect timing.
- AUTO BPM COUNTER
The mixer is equipped with an auto BPM counter so users can quickly view the song tempo.
Pioneer’s DJM-707 and DJM-909 were designed with scratch DJs, the studio / production DJs and the Turntablist in mind, however they are also excellent units for all DJs wanting to improve their performance level. The introduction of these two revolutionary mixers has taken the high-end battle mixer into a whole new dimension.
The DJM-909 and DJM-707 will be available in December at a minimum advertised price (MAP) of $1,199 and $699 respectively.
