Features
This unit is an all-in-one DJ system combining the high operability hard-
ware of Pioneer professional DJ players and DJ mixers that has achieved
an excellent reputation among many professional DJs and clubs with
the Serato DJ DJ software by Serato. It is also equipped with audio inter-
face, and allows full-fledged DJ performances without requiring other DJ
equipment.
LAYOUT
This unit uses the same layout as Pioneer professional models, allowing
intuitive and accurate performances with simple 2-channel mixing and
effects.
MIC/AUX INPUT, XLR OUTPUT
This unit is equipped with a microphone/auxiliary input allowing connec-
tion of a microphone or external device (sampler, portable audio device,
etc.). For output, it has XLR and RCA terminals supporting professional
PA equipment. In this way, this unit supports all types of situations and
DJing styles.
“Serato DJ” Supported
This unit supports “Serato DJ”, a DJ software program which offers
a great number of functions required for DJ performances. All of the
buttons and controls on this unit are preset to associate them with the
software, so DJ performances can be held immediately, simply by con-
necting this unit to a computer.
LAPTOP DOCK
The computer’s keyboard section can be stowed under this unit. Docking
the computer with this unit into a single unit allows you to create an
efficient DJ system.
Playing address/Level meter
The player section is equipped with a “playing address” indicator let-
ting you grasp the track’s progress at a glance by the position of the
LED display and get the sense of touching the track directly when the
[NEEDLE SEARCH (ROLL)] pad is touched with a finger. Furthermore,
the mixer section is equipped with a master level meter and channel
level meters. This increases affinity with the computer for even more
comfortable DJ performances.
HIGH SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality technology developed for Pioneer professional models
is used to achieve a high level of sound quality for a DJ controller.
