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 Pioneer DJM400 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

Nog 'n vraag over de 400, in een ander forum een uitgebreidde discussie over het dig/ana signaal bij deze mixer. Stel je maakt gebruik van een CDJ en de 400 heeft geen digitale ingangen; wat is het voordeel dan van deze convertiekermis? Het signaal wordt in de CDJ omgezet, in de DJM 2x... basicly mix je digitaal, is dat zow fijn
