PIONEER DJM-1000 PROFESSIONAL DJ MIXER: The World's Most Advanced 6-Channel Digital Club Mixer

If you're a serious club mixer looking for the most versatile, most advanced, most POWERFUL DJ mixer around ... look no further. The slammin' Pioneer DJM-1000 is a 6-channel 19" rackmount mixer that is setting a brand new standard for demanding DJs everywhere. This digital monster offers all the best Pioneer technology and a great looking package to boot. To ensure the very best sound quality, the analog signals are transmitted via the shortest possible path and converted to digital signals by a high quality 24-bit/96 kHz A/D converter, thus passing the signals to the digital mixing stage under optimum conditions. Through the use of a 32-bit DSP, mixing is achieved with zero sound quality degradation for professional DJs working in clubs. To get the most from these features, a great deal of care has been paid to perfecting the sound quality, including a high-rigidity chassis to cut down unnecessary vibrations that might affect the sound. Together with a high performance power section using an R-core transformer, the DJM-1000 has clear and powerful sound ideal for club performances.

A built-in 3-band isolator is capable of producing level control of -infinity dB to +6 dB on each band. A 2-system, 3-type SEND/RETURN (PRE INSERT/POST INSERT/AUX) is provided to allow multiple connection variations with external devices, such as effectors and samplers, thus widening the range of DJ play potential. The fader curve adjust allows adjustment not only of the cross fader curve (as on former models), but also of the channel fader curve. Both faders functions can be adjusted within 17 steps so that DJs can customize the settings to their own preferred response. The main fader volume control knob can be changed to a rotary knob for delicate sound volume control when mixing. An optional part (DJC-1000RV) is required to make this change, which can be completed in any of Pioneer's authorized service centers.

Using digital input connectors supporting multiple sampling rates (44.1/48/96 kHz), a system can be built in which no sound quality degradation occurs when connecting to external digital devices. A DIGITAL OUT connector with a 24-bit/96 kHz sampling rate is provided, facilitating recording at studios and other situations demanding high sound quality. Supports only linear PCM.

MIDI signals can be output to allow MIDI control of external devices. Multiple functions can be performed by using digital link cables to connect other PIONEER DJ CD players, DJ effectors and AV mixers. When connected to a visual mixer using the MIDI output, you can control the crossfade of the video mixer simply by cross fading the audio on the DJM-1000.

These are just some of the amazing innovations you'll find on this dominating mixer. Designed with the professional club DJ in mind, this mixer will do everything you want ... and more!
