Pioneer CDJ-1000MK3 CD/MP3 Players

Features the same robust build, polished look, and clear layout as previous Pioneer CDJs. But the subtle revisions add more intuitive features, make it easier to transport music, and improve track info: refinements that make cueing, looping, scratching, and stretching a track easier than ever. With full MP3 support including VBR files, intelligent features, such as the direct folder search button, you can quickly access files within folders on the disc for intuitive, fast cueing. A total wide tempo range (+70% to ”100%) also gives greater control than other models. Instant reverse features are controlled with toggle switches and can be used immediately within any track without having to stop or start.

Along with multimedia cards, SD cards are now also compatible with the CDJ-1000MK3 CD and MP3 Player so that hot cues, hot loop points, and WAV display data can be easily stored and loaded. The removable memory cards can also be used in any CDJ-1000, so once you've stored your favorite cue and loop points they're stored for life. The Pioneer CDJ-1000MK3s also have features that allow you to duplicate memory cards. The display of the MK3s have been improved to give more accurate display of memory points within the track.

The CDJ-1000MK3s' 7" jogdials have been improved so you can quickly and easily alter the resistance of the jog wheels to tailor them to your individual style. The jogdials also feature a new metallic nonslip finish. The jogdial displays have also been improved with raised fluorescent displays to increase brightness and larger cue markers with 45 angle marks to make it easier for scratch DJs to time their effects. The track display resolution has been doubled, the lighting is multicolor and fluorescent and, as well as displaying the total number of tracks and track position, the WAV data and playing address details are extended so you can see a track's entire length at a glance.

Hot cue is now partnered with a hot loop feature that stores up to 3 loops per track. These points can then be recalled by hitting either of the A, B, or C buttons. This function can also be used like a mini sampler for vocals, stabs, or breaks. Realtime seamless loop offers a quick and simple way to set a loop while a track is playing. Once the loop is set, it can then be looped continuously or until the ReLoop/Exit button is pressed. When released, the track continues playing without any pause. The loop can be re-trigged at any time by hitting the ReLoop button. Fine-tuning a loop is quick and easy with the ability to adjust both the in and out points of a loop stored in memory.

The CDJ-1000MK3s can be set in either Vinyl or CDJ mode making it extremely versatile for a DJ's needs. In CDJ mode, the jog dial functions just like a Pioneer CDJ player, but without the touch sensitivity. When the CDJ-1000MK3s are in vinyl mode, the top of the jog dial functions just like a vinyl turntable. Pressing down stops the music and allows you to scratch or cue your track by rotating the jog dial in either direction. Separate control knobs allow for quick adjustment of start and stop timing.

Pioneer's master tempo locks the pitch of the track even when you change the speed so you can speed up or slow down the beat without any noticeable difference in how the vocal and instruments sound. A 100mm linear high-precision slider gives you total control and ensures that the tempo adjustment is easy and accurate. Ranges of +/- 6%, +/-10%, +/-16% and +/-100% (+70%/-100% for MP3) can be assigned to the tempo control sliders. Tempo control reset restores the tempo to 0% or original tempo of the track regardless of the slider position.

Auto cue is the fastest way to find the beginning of a track. The sound levels can also be changed to suit your style of music (-36dB to ”78dB). There is also an option to turn it off if you prefer to cue up your CD tracks manually. A cue point can be set on the fly and stored into the internal memory by just simply hitting the in/real-time cue button. The current cue point is indicated within the jogdial's center display to show where the cuepoint is relative to the current play position.

Equipped with Pioneer's wide range technology--Legato Link Conversion--the CDJ-1000MK3s are capable of reproducing sound frequencies above 20kHz, which are lost during normal CD-format playback. Not only does this give great sound reproduction but sounds closer to the original recording and more analog like vinyl.

The CDJ-1000s have guards to prevent a DJ from accidentally pressing the eject buttons. The CD is locked until the track is stopped. This can be deactivated as well if you are looking to do quick mixes. These players also feature Quick Return functions; in the event you accidentally eject a playing CD, reinserting the CD will resume playback from the point the music stopped.

Sound jumps or skipping is prevented by using shockproof memory for continuous playback even in the event of a bump or knock. Oil-dampened floating suspension prevents sound skipping, even when the player is subjected to impact during use or vibrations generated from high-volume music and low-frequency bass.

The CDJ-1000MK3s are equipped with full-feature digital outputs. This means you can keep your scratching and master tempo playback entirely in the digital domain. Users who simply want to use the digital output for archival purposes may do so via the digital mode switch on the rear of the unit. All connectors on the rear of the unit are now gold-plated for higher connection quality and longevity.

Pioneer DJM-800 Professional DJ Mixer

Pioneer's DJ music mixers have a reputation for providing high-quality audio and reliability. The DJM-800 incorporates features recommended by many professional DJs and club engineers, raising the bar on sound fidelity and ease of mixer operation. Most important are its high-quality 24-bit/96kHz sampling and effect capabilities.

High Quality Audio
The analog signal from the player passes through the shortest signal route, first digitized at 24-bit/96kHz through a pro A/D converter where it reaches the digital mixing stage with the best sound possible. The mixing is carried out by 32-bit DSP with minimal deterioration of sound quality. A highly rigid chassis minimizes unnecessary vibration, which could adversely affect sound quality. The mixer also incorporates a dual-shield structure for eliminating entry of digital noise and a high performance power supply for noise-free power.

Sound Color Effects For A New Style of DJ Mixing
The world's first pro DJ mixer with Auto Harmonic Tuning detects the key of song and automatically corrects to the closest true key. In music theory terms, when a DJ raises the pitch of a song in the key of C by three percent, the song is no longer in the key of C, but somewhere between C and C sharp. This makes it impossible to perform a perfect harmonic mix. Pioneer's new Harmonic Tuning feature takes the key of the source audio and adjusts the pitch until it is that of a standard note. Of course the DJ still has to know some basics about music, such as which keys match, in order to pull off an acoustically perfect harmonic mix. World-class DJs currently spend thousands of hours learning the keys of their music and re-mastering their library to be in "perfect pitch." Now the DJM-800 makes it easier to perform a "harmonic mix."

Effects
The DJM-800 incorporates a high-pass/low-pass filter, notch filter and bit crusher effect for all channels. In conjunction with the additional beat effects, 50 combinations of effects are possible. Higher quality effects at 24-bits make for a cleaner sounding remix. The effects automatically detect the BPM of the music and sync to the beats. The DJM-800 includes some familiar effects, plus some new ones: Echo, Delay, Reverse Delay, Pan, Transform, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Reverb, Robot, Chorus, Roll, and Reverse Roll.

Digital Input/Output terminals
Digital inputs and outputs allow for connection with other digital-capable equipment for a fully digital chain, without degradation of sound quality. The DJM-800 is not only ideal for the club professional but also great in a recording studio environment where high fidelity sound is required. Input frequencies of 44.1/48/96kHz are compatible; output frequency is selectable between 48/96kHz.

Fully Assignable MIDI function
There are a total of 61 assignable controls. The MIDI signal can be sent from almost all knobs and switches on the surface of the DJM-800 to external MIDI equipment. Since the mixer can send out many MIDI signals, it can be used as a flexible interface to music software or hardware such as Ableton Live or EDIROL V-4 Video Mixer.

Rotary Volume Knobs (optional)
The main volume fader knobs can be replaced with rotary volume knobs (DJC-800RV), which are especially valuable for extended mixing providing more subtlety and precision.

Numerous other features make the DJM-800 audio mixer ideal for a sophisticated DJ:
- Crossfader Assign allows the DJ to assign each channel's input to the crossfader
- Fader Curve Adjust allows the user to change the cross fader/channel fader curve
- When connected to a Pioneer CDJ player, the Fader Start allows playback to be started by simply sliding the crossfader or channel fader
- A built-in three-band equalizer enables level control within a -26dB to +6dB range for high, mid, low bands, respectively
- The Talk Over feature automatically lowers track volume so an MC can talk over the track
- The Mic Signal Cut eliminates the microphone sound output to the booth monitor to prevent feedback
- The DJ can check the peak level of the input audio for each channel and the master
