Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. introduced today the DJM-1000 professional DJ mixer, which incorporates suggestions from world-renowned DJs resulting in a mixer with high quality audio, improved functionality and increased user-friendliness. The DJM-1000 uses Pioneer’s expertise in audio technology to create a high-end unit that is easily connected to other equipment like samplers, effectors and digital turntables, enabling professional DJs to put on the best show possible.

“We continue to see the growth in the DJ market and the need for creating professional products as well as innovative products,” said Karl Detken, director of product planning for professional audio products at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “Pioneer remains committed to offering the high quality equipment demanded by professional DJs and clubs around the world. The DJM-1000 is an example of that commitment.”

Pioneer utilized its long heritage in audio technology to create a high quality sound design for the DJM-1000. This mixer has 24-bit/96kHz digital sampling and a 32-bit/96kHz digital sound processor. Analog signals from LP turntables are digitized with the high quality audio-to-digital converter and mixed without deterioration of the sound quality. The unit has a rigid chassis to minimize unwanted vibrations and a strong power supply to create clear, powerful sound.


The DJM-1000 has digital input-output terminals, making it compatible with Pioneer’s CDJ-1000Mk2 and DVJ series of digital turntables. It is also easily connected to a DJ effector or sampler to give greater variety to a DJ’s performance. It also can be used for studio recording where high quality sound is required.

Its three-band isolator allows the user to control the levels from +6dB to -∞dB in each band. It also can be used to attenuate and accent partial bands. A 17 phase fader curve allows the user to adjust not only the curves of the cross fader but also the curves of the channel fader.

The DJM-1000 incorporates several industry firsts:
1. A new Sound Link / EFX Link function is used to control other Pioneer equipment via a link cable.
2. A BPM Synchronize Function, which synchronizes the BPMs of all attached equipment such as CDJs and EFX.
3. A Visual Link Button that allows the user to control the visual effects and fades of other visual equipment (such as an Edirol V4) with the Pioneer cross fader.

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.

Other features of the DJM-1000 include:
• MIDI Out for operation of external equipment
• Two Band Booth EQ for equalizing the booth monitor
• Fader Start Play for CD player control on all six channels
• Three Band Equalizer with Hi, Mid and Low settings in each channel to obtain dynamics of instrumental sound
• Talk-Over Function, which will automatically turn down the volume level of the music when the microphone is in use
• Peak Level Meter for all six channels to check source input levels

The DJM-1000 will be available in spring 2005.

wow... someone just copied and pasted the info..


my opinion? I was expecting so much more form pioneer... it's still a basic 3-band EQ, smaller faders, a master sectioin with a frequency killer that should in fact be on EVERY CHANNEL not the master output. I've used it and don't like it... and I DON'T RECOMMEND ANYONE BUY IT as I prefer the Allen & Heath Mixers (especially the xone 92) way above this big rack-mountable waste of money..

I do love pioneers' EFX-500, 1000, DJ-VX and CDJ-1000s... but this mixer was so disappointing... there is nothing special about it.. and when you use it live you'll know what i'm on about... it could've been a numark or something...

maDJam, I wouldn't want to sound off topic but, what do you think of Denon's DN-S1000 and DN-X100? I'm considering getting them so your opinion would be very useful... thanks!

hey dude.. yeah the denon's are nice n small.. its' like the equivalent to the CDJ-100 in 1998 but in 2005 the DN-S1000 is cool. Don' rely on the scratching too much, but pitch is OK and the MP3 playback is useful. Mind you, it's not always compatible with the MP3s and that could get quite annoying...

the mixer is nice and cute. basically this denon set-up is perfect for the bedroom, small party DJ. and it give you a good enough sense for beat matching... and reasonably priced! of course if I'd be totally honest with you don't go for anything less than a CDJ-1000. I would even say the CDJ-200 is better than the denon, but it is a little pricier. Denon's screen might get on your nerves if your used to pioneer as well...

but if you on a tight budget, the denon is cool & cute. (that sounded kinda GAY) but u get my point...

Thanks for the advice mate; to be honest I'm still undecided between the DN-S1000 on one hand or the DN-D4500 or Pioneer's CMX-3000 on the other hand, but I'm definitely going for the DN-X100. Just as you predicted, I'm on a tight budget, so I'm still studying all my options, plus I'm not in the market for something too fancy as I'm still in my early DJ career... thanks again for the useful tip and if you have any further comments on the duals I mentioned above please don't hesitate to post them!
