Pioneer expands the DJ's performance capabilities with a new DJM mixer for the mobile entertainer DJM-5000 Mixer Brings Life into Mobile DJing with Creative New Features Dorval, QC (November 17, 2009) – Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. Professional Sound and Visual Division and SF Marketing Inc. are pleased to announce the DJM-5000, an innovative audio mixer designed specifically for the growing number of mobile DJs, offering them additional capabilities to expand their musical and entertainment abilities. The DJM-5000 is geared for all types of performances, offering new features such as multi-zone entertainment, three microphone inputs, Advanced Talk Over, 96kHz / 24-bit sampling, Sound Maximizer, MIDI mapping capability and a built-in sound card. The mixer is intended for rack mount installation, complementing Pioneer’s MEP-7000 and SEP-C1 multi-entertainment systems providing improved mobility for DJs on the go. Mastering Different Zones The DJM-5000 features two flexible output modes: multi-zone and standard. In multi-zone mode, the mixer’s outputs can be dedicated to multiple audio sources and distributed to two different areas or rooms. For example, this groundbreaking feature allows DJs to transmit music from a separate source such as an MP3 player to a lounge or cocktail room while simultaneously outputting high energy music from digital turntables to a main dance floor. Similarly, broadcasts from a microphone also can be selected to transmit separately to two different zones, allowing MC performances or announcements to be tailored to the appropriate areas. In standard mode, all four audio outputs are directed to one area such as a main dance floor.
Mic Check One-Two The DJM-5000 incorporates another industry first, an exclusive feature called Advanced Talk Over* , which attenuates the frequencies in the mid-range / vocal area of music being played while the microphone is in use. The Advanced Talk Over feature is designed to distinguish announcements made by the DJ and/or MC without lowering the entire volume output, which can often affect the energy of the event. The output of the feature can be adjusted accordingly in two levels through a dedicated control knob on the front panel. Enhanced Control and Connectivity The DJM-5000 is equipped with a six-channel (three stereo pairs) USB Audio Interface. The connection allows direct plug-in from a laptop computer** to the mixer over the USB connection without using an additional external sound card. The mixer is fully functional as a flexible MIDI controller. Sixty-one of the DJM-5000’s seventy-three buttons, knobs and sliders are assignable to transmit control data via MIDI signal to a laptop’s USB port while running any MIDI-compatible DJ software. Additional Functions:
The DJM-5000 is now available for a manufacturers’ suggested retail price of $1,325.00 CAD. Pioneer offers a complete line of professional DJ Equipment through its Professional Sound & Visual Division. Its DJM series of mixers has become an industry standard at clubs, studios, mobile rigs and homes around the world, known for its high quality sound and reliability.

New Pioneer CDJ digital turntables bring the art of DJing to new heights CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 Enable DJs to Access Their Music Directly from the Players Dorval, QC (November 17, 2009) – Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. Professional Sound and Visual Division and their exclusive Canadian distributor SF Marketing are pleased to announce two multi-format digital turntables, the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900, with features that put the performance back into the art of DJing and reduce the need for laptops to access music files. DJs of all experience levels can enhance their mixing and scratching capabilities using proprietary technologies such as rekordbox™ 1 music management, Pro DJ Link, Needle Search and USB and SD card connectivity. Prepared For Any Performance Adapting to today’s variety of media formats, the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 enable playback of MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF audio files from CDs and USB memory devices, and from DVDs and SD cards as well on the CDJ-2000. A USB port located on top of the turntable enables users to quickly connect an external storage device such as a Tonium Pacemaker™ or a hard drive packed with music files, minimizing the need to bring a laptop computer to performances. Both the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 turntables include rekordbox™, Pioneer’s proprietary music management software that organizes and catalogs a DJ’s entire music library. When music files are imported to rekordbox, the software analyzes each file and prepares them for use specifically with the new CDJ turntables. Key elements of Pioneer’s rekordbox software:
Users can then transfer analyzed music files to their preferred storage media and play them directly from the new CDJ turntables Pro DJ Link The new turntables feature Pioneer’s Pro DJ Link that enables up to four CDJ-2000/900s to be connected via the Link Port to share a single music source, whether it is a hard drive, USB and/or SD memory card. Once linked, users have the ability to quickly find, display and choose the music file from a connected source through the CDJ’s built-in display and control knobs. Advanced Connectivity The new turntables feature a 24-bit/48 kHz sound card and HID and MIDI control compatibility via USB port. Up to 35 controls on the surface of each player can be used to trigger other devices, such as DJ effecters and software by way of HID and/or MIDI. The HID controls were implemented into the players for superior interfacing with software, faster communication speed over MIDI, audio/visual streaming and two-way information on displays. HID enables easy, precise and native control of DVS systems such as Serato™ Scratch Live, Native Instruments’ Traktor series and MixVibes Cross 2 without the need for time-coded discs.
