Pioneer DJM-900SRT  Add your News

Pioneer DJ is launching the DJM-900SRT four-channel mixer with an inbuilt Serato sound card for native control of the hugely popular Serato DJ software.[i]


DJs can connect the DJM-900SRT to their laptop via USB cable and use the included control disk (CD/VINYL) to mix and scratch with Serato DJ's four decks, without the need for an external sound card. Set up and DJ handovers are made easy thanks to PHONO inputs on every channel; so turntables can be connected to any channel and set up alongside CDJs for effortless switching between the two.
The DJM-900SRT inherits all the high-performance features of the DJM-900nexus, including six Sound Colour FX and thirteen Beat FX with intuitive X-PAD control that allows the DJ to manipulate multiple parameters simultaneously.


Plus, PRO DJ LINK[ii] enables DJs to connect the mixer via a LAN cable to compatible CDJs to access Serato DJ Beatgrid information and hit the Quantize button to sync FX to the master BPM.


Features

• Built-in Serato sound card for plug-and-play connectivity with Serato DJ
  The DJM-900SRT is equipped with an internal Serato certified sound card, so DJs can simply connect the mixer to a PC/laptop via USB cable to access all Serato DJ's tracks and BPM information. The included control disk for CD or VINYL enables mixing and scratching with up to four CDJs or turntables without the need for external hardware.
  
  
• Studio-quality Sound Colour FX to make creative vision a reality
  The DJM-900SRT puts six mind-bending Sound Colour FX at DJs fingertips. In addition to stalwarts FILTER and CRUSH, the mixer has inherited the popular NOISE from the DJM-2000, and includes SPACE reverb, DUB ECHO and GATE/COMP.
  
  
• Channel-assignable BEAT FX with X-PAD and TWIN LFO for ultimate control
  In addition to the Sound Colour FX, the mixer boasts 13 channel-assignable BEAT FX to mash up the music in sync with the BPM: DELAY, ECHO, SPIRAL, REVERB, TRANS, FILTER, FLANGER, PHASER, ROBOT, MELODIC, SLIP ROLL, ROLL and REVERSE ROLL.
  
  
• Xpad Control
  The DJM-900SRT is equipped with an intuitive X-PAD, a touch-sensitive strip that allows DJs to simultaneously engage BEAT FX while adjusting the parameters ?? all with just one finger. Plus TWIN LFO gives multi-layer control to FILTER, PHASER and FLANGER sweeps: LFO1 gives additional manipulation of BEAT FX, while DJs can use the X-PAD to modulate effects in LFO2.
  
  
• PRO DJ LINK functionality enhances performance possibilities
  The DJM-900SRT can be connected via a single LAN cable to CDJs that support PRO DJ LINK to access rekordbox? BPM and Beatgrid information and keep the effects in perfect time. Even if the BEAT FX timing has slipped, PRO DJ LINK automatically syncs the effects to the beat.
  
  
• Advanced design for accurate reproduction of audio sources
  The DJM-900SRT is equipped with the same high-quality audio input and output circuits as Pioneer's flagship DJM-2000nexus. A 32-bit A/D converter digitises and enhances sound quality for all outputs, while the 32-bit digital signal processor (DSP) suppresses digital noise. Even analogue noise is reduced, through balanced hybrid operation amps and output circuits.
  
  
• High-performance faders for enhanced durability and operability cross fader
  The DJM-900SRT is perfect for tough club environments, thanks to two metal shafts supporting the fader knobs and an exclusive magnetic cross fader construction that can be used more than 10 million times ? nearly three times more than the DJM-750. The fader mechanism is positioned to one side, rather than directly beneath the fader faceplate opening, minimising the damage from liquid or dust getting inside, while the Pioneer P-LOCK Fader Caps are impossible to pull off in the heat of a mix. The operational load, fader curve and cut lag can be adjusted to suit the DJ's preference.
  
  
• Multiple inputs with effortless switching and management
  DJs can connect up to four CDJs or turntables, with each having its own channel, so there is no need to switch between decks 1/2 or 3/4. A USB connection and USB audio input indicator helps DJs stay on top of connections into the mixer, while symmetrically and intuitively arranged rear-connections are perfectly aligned to the mixer channels to easily connect sources 'blind'.
