Je weet nog helemaal niets van het product, dus aannames moet je dan niet doen. De laatste DJM had een goede geluidskwaliteit en kwalitatief goede faders. Ik ga er dan ook vanuit dat het bij deze DJM allemaal goed voor elkaar zal zijn. Time will tell!

Dré, heb je al eea gehoord van je importeur?

Op de link die ik gaf staat +- 1400 dollar...... Hier kost hij al 1139 ofzo (als ik het goed heb), dus dan verschilt het zo'n 2 tot 300 euro.

Hopelijk maken ze hem zo rond de 999 euro (maar dat zal helaas wel niet) ;)

Pioneer’s new 4 Channel 96kHz/24bit DJM-800 Digital Mixer Blends MIDI Compatibility & Innovative ‘Sound Colour’ Effects

19 January 2006: Pioneer Europe today unveils its new professional-grade mixer the DJM-800. Pure fidelity is delivered by the hi-end 96kHz/24 bit A/D converter that’s complemented by 61 assignable MIDI control channels and a landmark innovation, ‘Harmonic Mixing’ capability – that detects a track’s key and automatically aligns it to the closest true key, removing inaccuracies created when adjusting the pitch. With digital connectivity, a large bright dot matrix display and a wide a range of high quality effects, the DJM-800 enables DJs to perfect pristine mixing.
‘We’re dedicated to finding new ways to improve the techniques available to DJs to create sensational sets: we achieved it with CD mixing and the genre-defining A/V deck, the DVJ-X1. And we’ve achieved it again with the DJM-800. It offers superlative digital performance, huge MIDI versatility and a new approach to harmonic mixing that replicates the way that DJs intuitively mix music. The innovation, combined with the unit’s sonic purity and a range of supporting features will advance mixing techniques – it’s the type of breakthrough that clubs, professional DJs and the emerging generation of artists expect from Pioneer,’ comments Jason Pook, product planning manager, Pioneer Europe.

Sonic purity is a given from Pioneer and the DJM-800 inherits the high fidelity technology of its big brother the DJM-1000. The analogue signal from the player is immediately digitised (through the shortest possible route) by a pro A/D converter at 96kHz/24bit, reaching the ultra-powerful (32bit) Digital Signal Processor without deterioration of quality.

Digital inputs and outputs support transparent signal processing between Pioneer’s CDJ and DVJ series of digital decks delivering immaculate audio quality. With input frequencies of 44.1/48/96kHz and selectable output frequencies of between 48/96kHz it’s a perfect mixer not only for the club professional but also recording studios where high fidelity sound is required.

Another key feature is the fully assignable MIDI function. This means that MIDI signals can be sent from almost all knobs and switches on the surface of the DJM-800 (a total of 61 assignable controls) to external midi equipment. With this level of MIDI flexibility, the DJM-800 can be used as a versatile interface to control any MIDI controllable lighting, software and MIDI enabled video mixers. To extend the intuitive operation of the unit, optional rotary volume knobs are available to replace the main volume switches – a feature that supports more subtle and precise mixing.

Extensive dialogue with some of the world’s top DJs and sound engineers provided the catalyst to create new, intuitive techniques to effect the perfect mix, resulting in ‘sound colour effects’ - a whole new style of DJ mixing. In music terms, if the DJ adjusts a track in the key of C by +3%, it slips out of the C band to between C and D. This makes it impossible to perform a perfect harmonic mix, unless harmonic tuning is applied. Harmonic tuning takes whatever key the source audio is in and adjusts the pitch until the key reaches a standard note. World class DJs currently spend thousands of hours learning the keys of their music and re-mastering their library to be in ‘perfect pitch’ - this innovation makes it that little bit easier to deliver smooth mixes time and again. The unit also offers ‘filter’, ‘sweep’ and ‘crush’ effects through a highpass/lowpass filter, notch filter and bit crusher effect for all line channels.

In keeping with Pioneer’s relentless drive for innovation it has complemented its familiar effects with some new techniques for a package that includes: Echo, Delay, Reverse Delay, Pan, Transform, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Reverb, Robot, Chorus, Roll and Reverse Roll. The effects automatically detect the BPM of the music and sync to the beats. In conjunction with the additional Digital Beat Effects, 50 combinations of effects are possible.
Like the DJM-1000, the DJM-800 also has the same high rigid chassis for minimizing unnecessary vibration that could adversely affect sound quality. It is based on the same layout and footprint as the DJM-600, providing the natural and familiar feel known to DJs across the world. It also incorporates a dual-shield structure for eliminating entry of digital noise and a high performance power supply.

Additional features

The DJM-800 has a massive range of features. Some of the additional highlights include:
• Cross fader assign: to assign each channel’s input to the cross fader
• Fader curve adjust: to change the cross fader/channel fader curve
• Fader start: connect a Pioneer CDJ player with a control cable and playback can be started by simply sliding the cross fader or channel fader
• 3-Band Equalizer: a built-in equalizer on each channel enables level control within a –26dB to +6dB range for high, mid & low bands, respectively
• Talk over: automatically attenuates the volume by -20db so an MC can talk over the track
• Mic signal cut: Eliminates the microphone sound output to the booth monitor to prevent feedback
• Peak level meter: Check the peak level of the input audio for each channel as well as the master
• Master output rotary knob
• Master output attenuation switch
• Twin mic level adjustment
• Optional rotary faders available (DJC-800RV)
The DJM-800 will be available from April ’06.

Pioneer Launches the Compact DJM-400 2ch Mixer - with In-Loop Sampler and Digital Beat Effects - that’s Big on Performance
17 January 2006: Pioneer Europe today unveils its new compact 2ch mixer; the DJM-400. It offers a host of beat effects and an in-loop sampler that offers a new level of flair for creative remixing. Built around the same digital processing technology and high quality components used in Pioneer’s DJM-1000, the new unit is a reliable and robust performer with exceptional audio quality.

‘Pioneer is a recognised innovator in professional DJ products and we’ve created a high-quality compact 2 channel mixer that’s tailored to the demands of DJs mixing in bars and smaller clubs and those mobile artists who demand a reliable, robust and high-quality mixer. The digital beat effects and in-loop sampler combined with the digital circuitry ensure that this compact mixer lacks for nothing in the creativity it provides and the quality of the sound,’ comments Mark Grotefeld, European Marketing Manager, Pioneer Europe.

Although the smallest mixer in Pioneer’s range, the DJM-400 packs a wide variety of effects for creative mixing. The effects, that automatically detect the BPM of the music and sync to the beats include: Delay, Echo, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Robot and Roll, all of which are processed at 24bits for the highest quality sound. In addition, by using the newly-adopted Beat Select Button, the DJM-400 automatically sets the effect time linked to the BPM for more intuitive play and responsive remixing.

The intelligent 96kHz/24bit sampler automatically detects the tempo of a track during playback, sampling it for four beats, then loops the sample. As the sampled audio is in sync with the beat of the track being played (no matter the tempo) the DJ is given more time to be creative. Samples are automatically beat matched and up to five samples can be stored in memory.

Each of the DJM-400’s channels has a 3-band Kill EQ which ranges from +9dB to -∞(infinity) for total control of the sound.

The DJM-400 has been designed with as a perfect partner for the MP3 compatible CDJ-200 both in terms of style and function. When combined, these units create a small, portable yet powerful and robust DJ setup that offers exceptional versatility and performance.

The DJM-400 has a wide range of features. Some of the additional highlights include:
• MIC/AUX switch: to select from either two MIC connections or one stereo LINE connection
• Fader Start: connect a Pioneer CDJ player with a control cable and playback can be started by simply sliding the cross fader or channel fader
• Cross fader curve adjust: adapts to the DJs mixing style
• Talk over: automatically attenuates the volume by -20db so an MC can talk over the track
• Peak Level Meter: Allows you to check the peak level of the input audio for each channel or the master
