PROSOUND PRODUCT EXPERTS TELL IT LIKE IT IS...
This mixer is the evolution of what DJs have become. Pioneer took it a step further, understanding many notable DJs and turntablists' needs and demands. Crossfaders and volume faders just aren't the same anymore. They've become as important as a piano key or guitar strings. With the DJM-909, you can manipulate sound coming in, PLUS you can add to it. Performing "headtones" will not require an RCA to 1/4" cable with this mixer. You can actually change up notes from many frequencies with volume faders. Using the onboard "vocoder" your mixes can get a lot more creative. One of the most eye-catching features on this mixer is the TouchScreen effects module that extends Pioneer's legacy of effect processors. But even with this solid legacy, they've managed to add new and innovative components. The knobs and faders become an instrument and a complement to the effects. The revolutionary crossfader is my favorite part of the mixer. The magnetic, non-contact crossfader is equipped with a tension adjuster that can leave your fader as precise as a studio console or as light as a feather. This mixer has great sound, a clean layout, rugged componets and tons of ground-shaking innovations. There's simply nothing like it on the market today.

PIONEER DJM-909 DJ Mixer: The World’s First “Touch Screen” Effects Control

The Pioneer DJM-909 is a breakthrough DJ mixer offering innovative features unlike ANYTHING you’ve ever seen. Check out exciting “world’s firsts,” like precision crossfader and fader curve controls with user-customizable “feel.” And how about the most exiting thing to hit the DJ circuit yet: a touch screen that controls 50 killer effects and fader performance functions. This high-end battle/performance DJ mixer is ideal for use with the CDJ CD players in both form and function. The improved sound quality and unsurpassed reliability are bolstered by a host of new effects. The DJM-909 offers powerful club quality sound in a battle mixer. You’ll enjoy sensitive yet solid gripping EQ knobs, durable transform switches and precise/accurate crossfader curve control. And the proprietary "non-contact" crossfader technology ensures unprecedented durability and reliability.

The most important feature on any battle mixer is its crossfader and fader performance. The DJM-909 introduces the most precise and customizable crossfader in the industry. The crossfader is highly durable and has double-fade control allowing each half of the crossfader the ability to be adjusted independently! All fader curves can also be seen and adjusted with visual reference on the mixer’s fader curve adjust screen. If that isn't enough, the crossfader “feel” can also be adjusted to your preference (a breakthrough functionality). Each channel fader curve can be adjusted from a smooth volume change to a dynamic volume on/off at the tip of the channel faders (bottom or top). In turntablist slang, you will be able to crab-scratch the channel faders from either the top end or bottom end of the fader. You can also connect with Pioneer's CDJ series CD players to employ the fader start capability. This allows you to automatically start or stop playback by the sliding crossfader or channel fader.

The DJM-909 has an impressive collection of built-in effects and an innovative touch sensitive display. A total of 50 different effects can be independently assigned, utilized and tweaked through the mixer’s user friendly touch screen control. Additional knobs also exist for further parameter adjustments. Revolutionary effect presets range from fader synths to transform to touch phaser to vocoder. A send/return is also built-in to connect an external effector. The clean, open fader design affords easy scratching and beat juggling. Other features include a session line-in with volume control, cueable master output, mic input and selectable phono/line switches. There’s also a tempo tap button, cueable effects switch and an input for a foot switch to control effects.

The fader effect can be assigned to a channel fader or crossfader from the touch screen so that the faders are capable of controlling and varying the effect's parameter simply by moving the crossfader or channel fader. The beat effect is capable of synchronizing effects with the BPM for high accuracy effect timing.The mixer is equipped with an auto BPM counter so users can quickly view the song tempo. Designed with scratch DJs, studio/production DJs and turntablists in mind, this mixer is outstanding for any DJ who’s ready to take his skills to the next level wanting to improve their performance level.
