says on the djresource page that the accuracy is still .05%. so much for that idea.

so hold on... the cdj200 has .02 accuracy and the cdj800mk2 doesnt?

if they made the 800s at 0.02 it would be directly competing with the 1000s..... and pioneer obviously wouldn't want that

anyone got a price estimate on the new 800?

thanks,
- brian

The pitch accuracy of the CDJ-800MK2 depend on the setting of the pitch scale. When the pitch is set to the +/- 10% scale, the accuracy is 0.05% When set to Wide range, the steps are 0.5% for CD and 0.1% for MP3.

Very true, there wouldn't be too many major features to differentiate them. Loop style, waveform display, adjustable feel, etc. are all small features that wouldn't justify a huge price difference. Still disappointing, though. For a lot of bedroom DJ's $1250 is way too much for one deck(myself included), but there's always the CDJ-200's I guess if accuracy is that much of an issue.

i'll get a second cdj200 for 440 euros instead!

Taken from the pioneer boards, some high res shots









Also taken from the pioneer boards some FAQ:

Q: CDJ-1000Mk3: What are the resistance ranges in the
"Jog Feel Adjust"?
A: All the way to the left is the same resistance as the CDJ-800(mk1). About 1pm is the CDJ-1000mk2. All the way to the right is slightly heavier than the 1000Mk2.

Q: Why are the prices more expensive than the 800(Mk1) and 1000Mk2?
A: More stuff and more improvements over those players

Q: What if we just purchased a 1000mk2 or 800(mk1)? Do you guys have a upgrade trade in program?
A: No. If you just purchased they will have been cheaper than what you will have to pay for the new models. So if you really think you need the new features then sell the old ones and get the new ones.

Q: When will they REALLY hit the stores.
A: For sure beginning of April. Possibly end of March.

Q: If the 800Mk2 has been increased to 4000 cue point memory. 10 per CD x 400 CDs. How much did the 800(mk1) have?
A: 500

Q: What does it mean that the 800Mk2 mimics the 1000mk2 jog feel.
A: The 800 no longer will have that super light feel. It will have the heavier feel of the 1000Mk2

Q: What if I like the feel of the 800 (Mk1).
A: Get the 1000Mk3 which you can fine tune to have that super light feel.

Q: Is the resume function on these new players the same as the resume on the CDJ200?
A: Yes

Q: Is the Hot Loop on the Mk3 the same as the Hot Loop on the DVJ?
A: Yes

Q: Am I correct to understand that the pitch in wide when using MP3 is +70% where as the pitch when playing CD is +100%? If so why is that.
A: Yes you are correct. The reason why is just BECAUSE.

Q: Is the reason that the 1000Mk2 has been so hard to find because you guys were discontinuing the line?
A: Yes and No. Yes we knew we were going to introduce a new player however we thought we had ordered enough to fill demand through April. However over the last 18 months Pioneer (Worldwide) has experienced a record sales growth on our turntables. Literally the demand outweighed the supply.

Q: When will the product be available in Europe.
A: Around the same as US

Q: When will the product be available in Australia?
A: Australia is usually a month behind the rest of the countries however check with them to be sure.

Q: What's the deal with the little door for the memory card?
A: The door was placed as a protection. Not that it has ever happened to anyone I know but in the old model if you accidentally removed the card when writing to it the card would be permanently damaged. This way you cannot write to the card when the door is open.

Q: The CDJ-800Mk2 says it has a metalic look non slip jog dial. Is this the same as the DVJ?
A: Same look however a different composite material that is not as slippery as the DVJ. Has the same texture as the 1000Mk2.

Q: The wave display on the 1000Mk3 looks differente
A: Yes you are correct because the Mk2 was 50 dots wide the Mk3 is 100 dots wide.

Q: Am I correct to understand that the 1000Mk3 now can use SD as well as MMC cards just like the DVJ can?
A: YES

Q: Why didn't Pioneer make the Mk3 a rotating platter.
A: The CDJ patented jog dial technolgy has been around since 2000. It's the industry standard and what ALL top DJs ask for on their riders. All other rotating platters do a poor job of emulating a turntable. So we will stick to what we know best and continue with this jog dial format.

Q: Will Pioneer be offering system cases for these players with your mixers.
A: No however the foot print of these players as well as the new DJM800 is the same as the previous models. Many case companies already exist and market cases for these players.

Q: The press release says more data is available now. What does that exactly mean.
A: The longer wave display and more text display. The old player had 10 characters the new one has 16 characters.

Q: Is the wave read the same speed as the mk2
A: Wave Data reading speed is faster thatn Mk2

Q: What doea it mean improved Super Fast Manual Search
A: Normal Mk2 and 800 reads 80x speed when super fast is engaged
NEW Mk3 has step levels of speed so the faster you turn the faster the super fast reads. I.e. 5x – 10x – 20x – 40x – 80x – 160x

Anyone wanna explain this .05/.02 pitch resolution stuff for a NOOB?

I was dreaming about this badboy last night in my sleep!

it's the accuracy of the pitch, the less the better...on a cdj200 or 1000 you can for example pitch 0.0, 0.02, 0.04,...on a cdj800 0.0, 0.05, 0.10,...

Doesn't make much sense to have the CDJ-200, which is priced significantly less than the 800, have great pitch accuracy.

The DN-S3500 also has .02% accuracy, at the CDJ-800 price, with a lot more features.
