Pioneer Mixers DJM800

Although the DJM-800 has the same dimensions as the world’s club standard, the DJM-600, it’s features are more similar to the DJM-1000 than the 600. With powerful built-in effects and Harmonic Mixing capability all at 96kHz / 24bit sound, it’s set to become the new club and Pro DJ standard.

96kHz/24bit audio: The DJM-800 inherits the high fidelity technology of it’s big brother, the DJM-1000. The analog signal from the player passes through the shortest signal route, first digitized at 96kHz / 24bit through a pro A/D converter where it reaches the digital mixing stage with the best sound possible. The mixing is carried out by 32bit DSP without deterioration of sound quality, thus producing the best quality sound. Harmonic Mixing Capability: The world’s first “Auto Harmonic Tuning” function detects the key of song and automatically corrects it to the closest harmonic key by sampling the key the song is in and moving it to the closest “standard pitch” key. Of course a DJ still has to know some basics about music, such as which keys match, in order to do a sonically perfect harmonic mix. “Filter” “Sweep” “Crush” effects: DJM-800 incorporates a highpass / lowpass filter, notch filter and bit crusher effect for ALL channels. In conjunction with the additional Beat Effects, 50 combinations of effects are possible. Beat Effects: Higher quality effects at 24bits make for a cleaner sounding remix. The effects automatically detect the BPM of the music and sync to the beats. DJM-800 includes some familiar effects, plus some new ones: Echo, Delay, Reverse Delay, Pan, Transform, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Reverb, Robot, Chorus, Roll and Reverse Roll. Digital In/Out: Digital inputs and outputs allow for connection with other digital-capable equipment for a fully digital chain, without degradation of sound quality. A perfect mixer not only for the club professional but in a recording studio environment where high fidelity sound is required.
Fully Assignable MIDI function: You can send out MIDI signal from almost all knobs and switches on the surface of the DJM-800 to external midi equipment (a total of over 60 assignable controls). Since the mixer can send out many MIDI signals, it can be used as a flexible interface to control software or hardware such as Ableton Live or an Edirol V4 video mixer.
High Quality Audio
The analog signal from the player passes through the shortest signal route, first digitized at 96kHz / 24bit through a pro A/D converter where it reaches the digital mixing stage with the best sound possible. The mixing is carried out by 32bit DSP with minimal deterioration of sound quality. A highly rigid chassis minimizes unnecessary vibration, which could adversely affect sound quality. The mixer also incorporates a dual-shield structure for eliminating entry of digital noise and a high performance power supply for noise-free power.
Sound Color Effects For A New Style of DJ Mixing
The world’s first DJ mixer with Auto Harmonic Tuning detects the key of song and automatically corrects it to the closest true key. In music theory terms, when a DJ raises the pitch of a song in the key of C by three percent, the song is no longer in the key of C, but somewhere between C and C sharp. This makes it impossible to perform a perfect harmonic mix. Pioneer’s new Harmonic Tuning feature takes the key of the source audio and adjusts the pitch until it is that of a standard note.

Digital Input/Output terminals
Digital inputs and outputs allow for connection with other digital-capable equipment for a fully digital chain, without degradation of sound quality. The DJM-800 is not only ideal for the club professional but also great in a recording studio environment where high fidelity sound is required. Input frequencies of 44.1/48/96kHz are compatible; output frequency is selectable between 48/96kHz.
Fully Assignable MIDI function
There are a total of 61 assignable controls. The MIDI signal can be sent from almost all knobs and switches on the surface of the DJM-800 to external midi equipment. Since the mixer can send out many MIDI signals, it can be used as a flexible interface to music software or hardware such as Ableton Live or EDIROL V-4 Video Mixer.
Rotary Volume Knobs Available (optional) The main volume fader knobs can be replaced with rotary volume knobs (DJC-800RV), which are especially valuable for extended mixing providing more subtlety and precision.
Numerous other features make the DJM-800 ideal for a sophisticated DJ.

• Cross Fader Assign allows the DJ to assign each channel’s input to the cross fader.
• Fader Curve Adjust allows the user to change the cross fader/channel fader curve.
• When connected to a Pioneer CDJ player, the Fader Start allows playback to be started by simply sliding the cross fader or channel fader.
• A built-in three-band equalizer enables level control within a –26dB to +6dB range for high, mid, low bands, respectively.
• The Talk Over feature automatically lowers track volume so an MC can talk over the track.
• The Mic Signal Cut eliminates the microphone sound output to the booth monitor to prevent feedback.
• The DJ can check the peak level of the input audio for each channel and the master.
