Versatile mixer with tons of pro features and an easy-to-use 5.8" color multitouch panel.
The Pioneer DJM-2000 DJ mixer's enhanced format accommodates an easy-to-use sectioned control layout. It also matches the Pioneer CDJ digital media player series. EFX capabilities reside on the top center section of the mixer give DJs a bounty of digital effects. On each side of the middle section are the audio mixing controls for connection of up to 4 digital or USB sources. Across the middle section, Pioneer adds new INST FX (Instant Instrument FX) functions for DJs to further alter and create more sound effects. At the bottom center of the mixer a large LCD touch display provides DJs with a window for remixing beats and adding effects with the ease of a simple touch.
Industry First Pioneer Multi-Touch Panel
A first in the audio mixer industry, the Pioneer DJM-2000 incorporates a full-color 5.8" LCD multitouch panel for adding audio effects. Users can simultaneously manipulate the displayed controls on the panel by touching different areas of the screen. Three different performance modes are available including:
•Frequency mix - Enables more precise mixing within seven frequency ranges. For example, users can enhance the bass region within the music they're mixing.
•Sidechain remix - DJs can create seven different dynamic audio effects with touches and movements on the screen.
•MIDI mode - Allows the user to assign various controls displayed on the LCD screen to control DJ software via MIDI. Four types of MIDI modes are available for more performance flexibility.
Evolved Beat Effects
The DJM-2000 mixer also comes with Evolved Beat Effects adopted from earlier versions of the DJM series of mixers to generate a multitude of sound effects. Numerous buttons were added for selecting multiple effects and beat parameters for additional performance capabilities. Further manipulation of the sound effects can be made using the Effect Frequency knobs that changes the low, mid, and high frequency bands of the music. Turns of the knobs enhances the effects to each frequency band, i.e., an echo added specifically to the vocals of the music or a doubling of the hi-hat rhythm, providing incredible performance options.
Instant Instrument FX
The INST FX (Instant Instrument FX) provides six additional audio effects that include Noise, HPF, LPF, Jet, Zip, and Crush. Each of the effects can be induced into the channel with a turn of the Filter knob. Additionally, the Parameter knob allows the effects to be fine-tuned.
Pro DJ Link
When used specifically with Pioneer's CDJ-2000 or CDJ-900 turntables via Pro DJ Link, the DJM-2000 becomes an even more powerful musical tool. The mixer incorporates four Ethernet ports in the back of the unit allowing up to four of the most recent CDJ turntables to be connected (via LAN cables) while sharing only one music-filled SD card or USB storage device. In addition, up to two laptop computers pre-installed with Pioneer's music management software rekordbox can be interfaced with the DJM-2000 via LAN cables, in cases that two DJs are transitioning for their individual performances.
Live Sampler
A cool feature of the DJM-2000 is its Live Sampler capability which allows the sound from a microphone or from the MASTER output to be recorded directly into the mixer. The "sampled" sound can instantly be transferred via LAN cable to a CDJ-2000/900 for scratching.
Link Monitor
The music files in rekordbox can be monitored on headphones. This allows you, the DJ, to check the song on rekordbox before playing it on a player, thus making it a smooth-flow for selecting and playing a song.
USB interface
The DJM-2000 features a USB audio interface that allows direct computer connection without the need for an external sound card. Up to four audio sources can be assigned to each channel providing even more flexibility. For additional convenience, the MASTER output can be connected directly to a computer for recording of performances.
Sound Quality
Continuing the prestigious reputation of Pioneer mixers, the DJM-2000 provides excellent sound quality. By utilizing balanced hybrid op-amp and a perfectly balanced output circuit in the analog processing stage, Pioneer managed to significantly decrease induced noise resulting in a dynamic range of 107dB with 0.004% THD for an extremely clean and powerful sound.
Additional features of the DJM-2000 include:
•Switching 3-band EQ/Isolator - Equipped with a switching 3-band EQ (+6dB to -26dB) and 3-band Isolator (+6dB to -8dB) on each channel
•Digital In - Permits audio signal of each channel with no deterioration in sound quality
•Fader Start Play - Connection with CDJ player(s) with PRO DJ LINK or control cable allows the mixer to start the turntable by switching faders
•Talk Over - Lowers the volume of the music when a connected microphone is used
•Peak Level Meter - Displays input levels at a glance
•Crossfader Assign function - Allows the flexible assignment of the input on each channel to the crossfader
Fader Curve Adjust function - Allows changes to crossfader and channel fader curves
