Time to raise your expectations: Pioneer unveils the new DJM-2000nexus, the flagship 4-channel digital mixer that takes spontaneous creativity to another level 15th November 2012: Pioneer has raised the bar again with the release of theDJM-2000nexus: the powerful 4-channel professional mixer that combines advanced performance features and intuitive layout to empower unbridled creativity in the booth. I've recorded the serial number as added protection for both of us. I've added extra bubble wrap and it's all very secure. The styrofoam inserts are a little damaged and we're in that condition when I bought the unit. Yes, yes, I know I'm a dinosaur! The unit is boxed with both power leads, the laptop USB connection cable and all documents. And maybe 1 foot! I bought this mixer as well as CD decks to come into the digital age but unfortunately it has become obvious to me that my passion is still firmly with vinyl and because of this I prefer the sound of a pure analog mixer opposed to digital or hybrid.
The new flagship mixer retains its predecessor’s popular 5.8-inch LCD multi-touch screen, to offer a multitude of ways to manipulate the music. These new features combine with favourites such as Quantized Beat Effects, Live Sampler and studio-quality Instant FX to deliver truly powerful remixing possibilities. The new Sync Master lets DJs set the master BPM for four CDJ players and control it from the mixer, while Beat Slice allows tracks to be sliced and arranged in real-time.
Pioneer Djm 2000 Dimensions Series So Far
Plus, chrome plating and white LED illumination mirrors the design of the CDJ-2000nexus, for a professional set-up that looks as good as it sounds. Improving on the high quality audio of the DJM-2000, the DJM-2000nexus boasts a lower jitter DAC clock on the Master Out, and the best quality A/D converter seen in the DJM series so far. A newly designed Peak Limiter eliminates distortion and clipping, even at high volumes, while high performance channel faders provide smooth motion and a long life. The professional grade DJM-2000nexus is designed with the club environment in mind.
This effortless connectivity unleashes advanced features, old and new, for even more creative possibility and effortless control during performance: NEW! Beat Slice: spontaneously sample, slice and chop tracks to create original arrangements – while the unit’s Quantize function analyses rekordbox track information on connected CDJs to automatically snap new creations to the beat. So rekordbox music files stored on USB/SD cards can be shared among multiple players, and DJs can easily switch sets. KEY FEATURES OF THE DJM-2000nexus ProDJ Link enables multi-DJ play and advanced performance features ProDJ Link set-up enables LAN connection to up to four CDJs or turntables and two laptops at the same time.
SUPERIOR peak limiter eliminates distortion even at club volumes Pro-DJs can max the volume without worrying about distortion or clipping, as the newly designed peak limiter kicks in as soon as the input is pushed too high. Live sampler: take samples on the fly – from a track or the MIC input – and load onto a CDJ for instant remixing, scratching, looping or playback. The unit’s Quantize function uses ProDJ link to retrieve rekordbox BPM and beat grid information from connected CDJs or laptops, to automatically sync all Beat Effects in perfect time with the mix. Quantized Beat Effects: trigger the DJM-2000nexus’s popular Beat Effects with confidence.
The booth monitor output and the 32-bit A/D converter are the highest quality yet for the DJM mixer range, delivering superior sound quality on all outputs, while the 32-bit DSP suppresses digital noise. The DAC on the Master Out has been upgraded to a lower-jitter crystal oscillator. The onboard USB soundcard can simultaneously input and output all audio signals with no degradation of sound quality. IMPROVED sound quality for a powerful club sound The DJM-2000nexus delivers superb sound quality based on the high quality audio design of its predecessor. Two metal runners make fader operation smooth and durable, and the mechanism is positioned away from the faceplate opening and out of the way of spillages, dust and obstructions. NEW high performance channel faders The DJM-2000nexus adopts fader technology and fader caps designed for a long life in the tough club environment.
MIDI mode: to control PCs or laptops running almost every DJ software on the market. Enhanced Side Chain Remix mode: the DJM-2000nexus borrows technology from the groundbreaking RMX-1000 remix station, to deliver louder side chain oscillators and multiple effect chaining. Frequency Mix mode: seven-band cross fader so DJs can choose which frequencies are in the mix. DJs can use the touch panel to control three innovative performance modes to put their individual stamp on every set.
There are other improvements as well – improved sound quality twinned with a peak limiter means enabling DJs to not give a crap about levels and redline everything, knowing that it’ll still sound good, if a little loud. I’m unsure as to whether it samples channels or master, or if you can sample mixtures of channels, but I was nonetheless impressed to see samples being chopped up with the new Beat Slicer. In the video, live vocals were sampled and mashed up, but you can do the same thing with your tracks. The sampler looks really cool. The crowd wants it all in sync and cares not how you achieve it, especially when using a full digital DJ workflow.
I don’t know how many of you have used a DJM-2000, but it’s quite a daunting thing to play with. And let’s not forget the new channel faders – hopefully lifted from the 900nexus which are allegedly brilliant.
