The Pioneer DJM-2000 DJ mixer's enhanced format
accommodates an easy-to-use sectioned control layout. It also matches
the Pioneer CDJ digital media player series. EFX capabilities reside on
the top center section of the mixer give DJs a bounty of digital
effects. On each side of the middle section are the audio mixing
controls for connection of up to 4 digital or USB sources. Across the
middle section, Pioneer adds new INST FX (Instant Instrument FX)
functions for DJs to further alter and create more sound effects. At the
bottom center of the mixer a large LCD touch display provides DJs with a
window for remixing beats and adding effects with the ease of a simple
touch.
Industry First Pioneer Multi-Touch Panel
A first in the audio mixer industry, the Pioneer DJM-2000 incorporates a
full-color 5.8" LCD multitouch panel for adding audio effects. Users
can simultaneously manipulate the displayed controls on the panel by
touching different areas of the screen. Three different performance
modes are available including:
•Frequency mix - Enables more precise mixing within seven frequency
ranges. For example, users can enhance the bass region within the music
they're mixing.
•Sidechain remix - DJs can create seven different dynamic audio effects with touches and movements on the screen.
•MIDI mode - Allows the user to assign various controls displayed on the
LCD screen to control DJ software via MIDI. Four types of MIDI modes
are available for more performance flexibility.
Evolved Beat Effects
The DJM-2000 mixer also comes with Evolved Beat Effects adopted from
earlier versions of the DJM series of mixers to generate a multitude of
sound effects. Numerous buttons were added for selecting multiple
effects and beat parameters for additional performance capabilities.
Further manipulation of the sound effects can be made using the Effect
Frequency knobs that changes the low, mid, and high frequency bands of
the music. Turns of the knobs enhances the effects to each frequency
band, i.e., an echo added specifically to the vocals of the music or a
doubling of the hi-hat rhythm, providing incredible performance options.
Instant Instrument FX
The INST FX (Instant Instrument FX) provides six additional audio
effects that include Noise, HPF, LPF, Jet, Zip, and Crush. Each of the
effects can be induced into the channel with a turn of the Filter knob.
Additionally, the Parameter knob allows the effects to be fine-tuned.
Pro DJ Link
When used specifically with Pioneer's CDJ-2000 or CDJ-900 turntables via
Pro DJ Link, the DJM-2000 becomes an even more powerful musical tool.
The mixer incorporates four Ethernet ports in the back of the unit
allowing up to four of the most recent CDJ turntables to be connected
(via LAN cables) while sharing only one music-filled SD card or USB
storage device. In addition, up to two laptop computers pre-installed
with Pioneer's music management software rekordbox can be interfaced
with the DJM-2000 via LAN cables, in cases that two DJs are
transitioning for their individual performances.
Live Sampler
A cool feature of the DJM-2000 is its Live Sampler capability which
allows the sound from a microphone or from the MASTER output to be
recorded directly into the mixer. The "sampled" sound can instantly be
transferred via LAN cable to a CDJ-2000/900 for scratching.
Link Monitor
The music files in rekordbox can be monitored on headphones. This allows
you, the DJ, to check the song on rekordbox before playing it on a
player, thus making it a smooth-flow for selecting and playing a song.
USB interface
The DJM-2000 features a USB audio interface that allows direct computer
connection without the need for an external sound card. Up to four audio
sources can be assigned to each channel providing even more
flexibility. For additional convenience, the MASTER output can be
connected directly to a computer for recording of performances.
Sound Quality
Continuing the prestigious reputation of Pioneer mixers, the DJM-2000
provides excellent sound quality. By utilizing balanced hybrid op-amp
and a perfectly balanced output circuit in the analog processing stage,
Pioneer managed to significantly decrease induced noise resulting in a
dynamic range of 107dB with 0.004% THD for an extremely clean and
powerful sound.
Additional features of the DJM-2000 include:
•Switching 3-band EQ/Isolator - Equipped with a switching 3-band EQ
(+6dB to -26dB) and 3-band Isolator (+6dB to -∞dB) on each channel
•Digital In - Permits audio signal of each channel with no deterioration in sound quality
•Fader Start Play - Connection with CDJ player(s) with PRO DJ LINK or
control cable allows the mixer to start the turntable by switching
faders
•Talk Over - Lowers the volume of the music when a connected microphone is used
•Peak Level Meter - Displays input levels at a glance
•Crossfader Assign function - Allows the flexible assignment of the input on each channel to the crossfader
Fader Curve Adjust function - Allows changes to crossfader and channel fader curves
