Refined, Remastered, Reborn: Meet the New CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2

LONG BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Pioneer DJ’s flagship set-up is taking a giant leap into the
future with the unveiling of the CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2. As a
result of years of feedback from DJs of every genre, Pioneer DJ
incorporated additions that deliver the highest possible sound quality,
finely tuned features, and unprecedented levels of control.

DJs want higher sound quality and Pioneer DJ has delivered with the
release of these new products. The CDJ-2000NXS2 now has a 96 kHz/24-bit
sound card and FLAC/Apple Lossless Audio (ALAC) support – paving the way
for more producers to create music in this top quality format. Browsing
and track selection are even more intuitive with the high-resolution
touch screen, Qwerty keyboard and Track Filter search. The screen also
packs in a multi-colored wave display, more detailed rekordbox™
information and instant access to all the most popular features. Up to
four players can be controlled from one device using Pro DJ Link. The
player now has two banks of four Hot Cues – eight in total. And, if that
isn’t enough, you can connect the DDJ-SP1 controller to add even more
Hot Cues and loops.

The DJM-900NXS2 takes mixing to another level with Pioneer DJ’s first
ever 64-bit mixing processor for a more natural, warm and detailed
sound. The controls are even more responsive, with a new gain structure,
improved EQ and fader curves. The Sound Color FX section now has a
parameter knob for even more nuanced manipulation. Plus, an independent
Send/Return means you no longer have to choose between Beat FX and
external FX: you can connect your choice of external FX controllers,
including apps on your iPad, and layer it on top of the on-board FX.
Additionally, the DJM-900NXS2 has four phono inputs, DVS support and two
USB ports for easy connection to PC/Mac, making it a crucial tool
versatile enough for any professional booth.

“I played a couple of tracks on the DJM-900NXS2 and I was quite
astounded; it sounds like no other Pioneer DJ mixer I’ve heard,” said
Andy Kayll, sound engineer at DC10. “Going up from 32-bit to 64-bit, the
sound is so much more accurate and natural, you can hear it’s much
warmer.”

The CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2 will be available in February 2016,
with retail prices of $2,199.00 and $2,199.00, respectively.

a gear with:

Countdown. Now we’ve added:

including NEW color-coded Memory Cues

As always, you can analyze and prepare your tracks in rekordbox and view
vital information on the player’s screen, including BPM, Beat Countdown
and Phase Meter. New to the CDJ-2000NXS2 are Memory Cues, which let you
name a cue, e.g. ‘my breakdown,’ give it a color, and then see that
information on the CDJ-2000NXS2’s screen.

  available soon.
