Pioneer Djm-1000 Press Release!!!!
PIONEER INTRODUCES PROFESSIONAL DJ MIXER
LONG BEACH (January 17, 2005) – Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. introduced today the DJM-1000 professional DJ mixer, which incorporates suggestions from world-renowned DJs resulting in a mixer with high quality audio, improved functionality and increased user-friendliness. The DJM-1000 uses Pioneer’s expertise in audio technology to create a high-end unit that is easily connected to other equipment like samplers, effectors and digital turntables, enabling professional DJs to put on the best show possible. “We continue to see the growth in the DJ market and the need for creating professional products as well as innovative products,” said Karl Detken, director of product planning for professional audio products at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “Pioneer remains committed to offering the high quality equipment demanded by professional DJs and clubs around the world. The DJM-1000 is an example of that commitment.” Pioneer utilized its long heritage in audio technology to create a high quality sound design for the DJM-1000. This mixer has 24-bit/96kHz digital sampling and a 32-bit/96kHz digital sound processor. Analog signals from LP turntables are digitized with the high quality audio-to-digital converter and mixed without deterioration of the sound quality. The unit has a rigid chassis to minimize unwanted vibrations and a strong power supply to create clear, powerful sound. The DJM-1000 has digital input-output terminals, making it compatible with Pioneer’s CDJ-1000Mk2 and DVJ series of digital turntables. It is also easily connected to a DJ effector or sampler to give greater variety to a DJ’s performance. It also can be used for studio recording where high quality sound is required. Its three-band isolator allows the user to control the levels from +6dB to -8dB in each band. It also can be used to attenuate and accent partial bands. A 17 phase fader curve allows the user to adjust not only the curves of the cross fader but also the curves of the channel fader. -more- Pioneer Introduces Professional DJ Mixer / pg. 2 The DJM-1000 incorporates several industry firsts: - A new Sound Link / EFX Link function is used to control other Pioneer equipment via a link cable. - A BPM Synchronize Function, which synchronizes the BPMs of all attached equipment such as CDJs and EFX. - A Visual Link Button that allows the user to control the visual effects and fades of other visual equipment (such as an Edirol V4) with the Pioneer cross fader. The main fader volume control knob can be changed to a rotary knob for delicate sound volume control when mixing. An optional part (DJC-1000RV) is required to make this change, which can be completed in any of Pioneer’s authorized service centers. Other features of the DJM-1000 include: - MIDI Out for operation of external equipment - Two Band Booth EQ for equalizing the booth monitor - Fader Start Play for CD player control on all six channels - Three Band Equalizer with Hi, Mid and Low settings in each channel to obtain dynamics of instrumental sound - Talk-Over Function, which will automatically turn down the volume level of the music when the microphone is in use - Peak Level Meter for all six channels to check source input levels The DJM-1000 will be available in Spring for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price: TBA |

to be honest i'm thinking about it...not sure about the pure digital processing, but it does have a higher quality rate then the 600 so this should sound great...but no built in fx...i suspect theres another mixer similar to this with maybe fewer channels and fx to take the place of the 600 that will be released soon. |

The mixer does look great though, they way its designed and laid out, i'd love to jump on one of these. Maybe it doesen't have built in EFX because they want to encourage you to by all the external gear(from pioneer) and use the mixer as the master haha. Still looks nice.. i wonder how the A/D converters sound like..
"Talk-Over Function, which will automatically turn down the volume level of the music when the microphone is in use " Oh oh, the bad MC's are gonna love this one :/ |

what are the options for the midi out? i want something xfader controlled so say the right side sends a msg to trigger a handclap sample or something. if that would work man the possibilities are motherfucking endless... i think focus is working on a fader like that....
