Features
This unit is a 2-channel mixer optimally designed for DJ performances using the
TRAKTOR SCRATCH DJ software by Native Instruments. Through a collaboration
with Native Instruments, it includes the "TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO 2" DJ software
equipped with a number of features required for DJ performances. For the hard-
ware, the unit comes with a built-in controller for operating the many functions of
TRAKTOR SCRATCH without hesitation and a sound card for simple connection to a
computer. A DVS (Digital Vinyl System) can be created by combining this unit with
your DJ player or analog player.
Also, this unit carries over the technology of the Pioneer DJM series which has
gained a high reputation for both quality and performance, offering powerful sup-
port for not only home use but also DJ performances in club scenes.
! An even greater variety of performance functions can be enjoyed by updating to
TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 (for a fee).
INTERNAL TRAKTOR CONTROLLER
This unit includes a controller optimized for TRAKTOR SCRATCH operations.
TRAKTOR SCRATCH can be operated accurately, without procuring a separate
controller in addition to this unit.
The section for operating the browse and transport functions is located at the top of
the mixer section in function of the series of operating procedures from selecting
tracks to mixing. The sections for operating the performance functions (EFFECT,
LOOP, HOT CUE and SAMPLER) are placed independently at the sides for the differ-
ent channels in function of the player's layout for intuitive operation.
PLUG AND PLAY
This unit is equipped with a built-in USB sound card for connecting a computer. A
computer can be connected simply using a single USB cable; there is no need to
procure a separate sound card in addition to this unit.
DJ performances using "TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO 2" can be started immediately,
with no complicated settings.
HIGH DURABILITY FADER
The crossfader uses a uniquely developed magnetic system. This improves durabil-
ity, maintaining smooth operation for scratch playing over a long period of time.
Furthermore, the operating load, fader curve and cut lag can be adjusted to the
user's tastes. The channel fader uses a sliding structure with the fader knob sup-
ported by two metal shafts. This provides smooth operation with no shakiness and
approximately 3 times the endurance as compared to previous Pioneer products. In
addition, a newly developed fader is used to minimize the influence of any liquids or
dust getting inside the fader.
HIGH SOUND QUALITY
Thanks to the built-in sound card, sound output from a computer can be input to
this unit in digital format, eliminating any decrease in sound quality. In addition, this
unit's audio input/output circuitry includes a high performance D/A converter and
unique analog circuit technology reducing digital noise, faithfully reproducing the
original sound to provide powerful, high quality club sound.
