Creating a new standard at this price point for Pro-DJ CD decks, the CDJ-200 combines the key elements of Pioneer’s market-proven Professional CDJ players with a host of innovative features such as full-function MP3 playback, Hot Loop, Beat Loop and the unique one button Loop Cutter, for creating loops within loops until the beat has been cut to infinity.
This technical excellence is complemented by a design that’s both visually stunning and DJ friendly – the unit is robust, compact and portable – and a truly affordable price, making it the ideal choice for serious home DJs, bars and other installations where space and budget is limited.
Since the CDJ-200 is fully MP3-compatible, aspiring DJs can now include the very latest downloaded tracks in their sets, without having to convert the audio from other formats. The MP3 functionality also allows DJs to locate tracks more quickly (via Folder Search) and to see the name of the disc, artist and song on the unit’s bright dot-matrix display window. This screen has a bar graph showing the elapsed and remaining playing time of a track, plus an Auto BPM Counter, giving DJs the real-time information they need to create better mixes more quickly. The unit has a tempo read-out too, as well as a separate Master Tempo button with 3 settings for locking the pitch of a track as it’s sped up or slowed down.
"Pioneer needed a stunning yet competitively priced CDJ to replace the classic CDJ 500. This is it!It employs Pioneer's key CDJ technologies along with MP3 and some excellent DJ friendly features. It fits neatly into Pioneer's range - between the CDJ-100 and the more advanced CDJ-800", observes Jason Pook, Product Planning Manager, Pioneer Pro DJ.
The CDJ-200 will be available from April 2005.
The combination of exceptional build quality and advanced features such as full MP3 capability means Pioneer has succeeded in giving DJ’s a durable product, offering a professional solution without the premium price.
