LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The new DJM-S9 two-channel mixer for Serato DJ puts the power of personalization in DJs’ hands, with a fast, accurate and customizable crossfader, plus Performance Pads and FX buttons that DJs can map to suit their preferences. The mixer delivers plug-and-play integration with Serato DJ’s four decks and boasts DVS support, on-board Beat FX, two USB sound cards, and a top-loaded input switcher for seamless DJ transitions.
The DJM-S9 is built to withstand the most rigorous scratch performances and suit every DJ’s style. The proprietary magnetic crossfader is both robust and responsive, with customizable Fader Bumpers, feeling adjust, cut lag, and fader curve. The color-coded Performance Pads give instant access to loops, cues, samples and rolls – or DJs can reconfigure the pads to trigger their favorite Serato DJ functions.
Plus DJs can customize the FX buttons and banks to their choice of 55 Serato DJ FX* and 15 on-board Beat FX, and manipulate the parameters with a wet/dry dial on each channel. And the FX On/Off lever means they can exit their creative compositions in a flash.
The versatile DJM-S9 is at home in any pro-DJ set-up. DVS control means DJs can use CDJs and turntables to control Serato DJ; non-Serato DJ users can access the on-board FX and use the Performance Pads to give tactile performances without the software.
Turntablists and enthusiasts are in for a treat with the release of limited edition gold models of the PLX-1000 turntable and DJM-S9 two-channel mixer for Serato DJ. Both feature a gold finish top panel and elements of gold throughout their design, including the turntable’s tone arm and the mixer’s crossfader and channel fader knobs. Pioneer DJ is releasing just 1,000 PLX-1000-Ns and 500 DJM-S9-Ns worldwide, each bearing a plate engraved with its unique serial number – making this a golden opportunity for DJs to get their hands on a truly unique set-up.
Finally, Pioneer DJ is completing its line-up for vinyl DJs with the release of the PC-X10 cartridge to accompany the PLX-1000 turntable. The PC-X10 delivers a high output and excellent skip resistance that ensures the needle sticks to the record during even the most energetic performances.
The DJM-S9 will be available in Fall 2015, with a retail price of $1699.00. The limited edition gold DJM-S9-N will also be available in late Fall 2015 with a retail price of $1799.00– the perfect companion to the limited edition gold PLX-1000-N turntable that launches at the same time with a retail price of $799.00. The PC-X10 cartridge comes with the replaceable PN-X10 stylus and will be available online in the USA from the Pioneer DJ Store in November 2015 with a retail price of $149.00. The PN-X10 stylus can also be bought separately with a retail price of $55.00.

KEY FEATURES OF THE DJM-S9
1. Tough, responsive Magvel Fader Pro for
precision scratch performances
Pioneer DJ’s proprietary
Magvel Fader Pro is packed with features that ensure a reliable response
– whatever a DJ’s performance style:
-
Highly responsive operation
The low-latency fader delivers a fast, accurate response, while DJs can change the operational load using the Feeling Adjust dial. Shock-absorbing Fader Bumpers are included in three materials, so DJs can choose the level of resistance they prefer.
-
Robust build for excellent durability
The DJM-S9 is built to last using a contactless, magnetic crossfader and metal shafts that withstand repeated use over a long period without loss of reliability.
-
Configurable Curve and Reverse
DJs can adjust the crossfader’s curve characteristics to suit their style and use Reverse to switch the cut lag from the bottom to the top.
2. Multi-colored Performance Pads for physical
performances
The DJM-S9 has large Performance Pads that
are precision engineered for accuracy and rapid response. DJs can use
the sixteen multi-colored pads – eight on each deck – to trigger and
manipulate features including Hot Cue, Roll, Slicer and Loop. Or they
can choose to map the pads to other functions within Serato DJ. The
organic EL display screen shows what mode is in use, and DJs can
allocate pad colours to Hot Cues in Serato DJ for an even stronger
visual cue.
3. Customizable buttons give access to a
host of on-board and Serato DJ FX
The DJM-S9 draws on
the enduring legacy of the DJM-909 battle mixer to give DJs access to a
wealth of high-quality FX. Six Beat FX buttons and six Serato DJ FX
buttons, plus two banks, mean DJs have unprecedented choice.
- 15 on-board Beat FX with added parameter control: Six dedicated buttons trigger the popular Echo, Delay, Reverb, Flanger, Phaser and Trans effects in time with the BPM. DJs can replace these with other on-board Beat FX – and assign six more Beat FX to the second bank.
- 55 Serato DJ FX2: DJs can map the six buttons, plus an additional bank, to their favorite Serato DJ FX powered by iZotope.
- Filter FX: a high pass/low pass filter on each channel lets DJs manipulate FX; DJs can switch this for other filters and FX, including Dub Echo, Noise and Pitch.
- Release FX: use the large RMX-1000 style lever to trigger FX briefly, lock them on, or exit arrangements quickly.
4. Two USB sound cards, four-deck
support, and top-loaded input switcher
The DJM-S9 is the
ultimate plug-and-play Serato DJ mixer, with two USB sound cards to let
two DJs play back-to-back seamlessly. The input switcher is on the top
of the mixer, so there’s no need to fiddle around at the back of the
unit between sets. DJs can switch between all four Serato DJ decks,
while DVS support makes the DJM-S9 ideal for Serato DJs who prefer to
play using CDJs or turntables. Plus DJs can record direct to the
software during performance.
5. Pro-DJ design for accurate sound
reproduction
The DJM-S9 inherits its high-quality audio
circuitry from Pioneer DJ’s flagship DJM-2000NXS. The AC inlet is
designed to reduce resistance and deliver the stable sound needed in
loud club environments.
6. Other features
- MIC input features Echo FX and high-quality circuitry to eliminate unwanted distortion
- Clip display shows when input levels are too high
- Peak limiter eliminates distortion on the Master output
- Built-in 3-band isolator (+6 dB to -∞dB)
- Fully MIDI compatible
- Adjustable brightness
- Lightweight and portable
