The Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 is the next generation in nexus mixers, with a 64-bit mixing processor for a more natural, warm and detailed sound.The controls are even more responsive, with a new gain structure, improved EQ and fader curves. The Sound Colour FX section now has a parameter knob for even more nuanced manipulation. Plus an independent Send/Return means you no longer have to choose between Beat FX and external FX: youcan connect your choice of external FX controllers, including apps on your iPad, and layer it on top of the on-board FX. Add to that four phono inputs, DVS support and two USB ports for easy connection to PC/Mac – and the DJM-900NXS2 is a crucial tool versatile enough for any professional booth. First Impressions / Setting up In this review we take a look at the DJM-900NXS2, which is an update to the old DJM-900NXS and the companion mixer to the CDJ-2000NXS2 multi player. More accurate clip indicator: a redesigned gain structure ensures meters don't go into the red too early.

Improved channel fader curves: the three curves have been fine-tuned for more precision and control. The FX section has had an upgrade on the DJM-900 NXS2 with the addition of a parameter knob for more manipulation of the colour effects.Utilising a high-quality 32-bit A/D converter as part of the channel input signal path, and D/A converters of the same type for both the master and booth outputs, the DJM-A9 has been optimised to produce natural-sounding, crystal-clear audio, both on the dancefloor and in the DJ booth. It goes without saying that if you’re broadcasting or livestreaming, these characteristics will translate to improved listening for your audience. Finally, the new External FX routing allows you to send and return your selected channel independently. On the DJM-A9’s predecessor, send and return disabled the Beat FX section. This simple but effective update provides greater creative freedom when using external effect pedals etc. In addition, this new routing capability will enable connection of external equipment, such as a sampler, with routing through to any channel.

Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 features 6 versatile FX – Sweep, Filter, Crush, Dub Echo, Noise and Space – and are available on every channel. Use the parameter control knob to fine-tune the FX. Beat FX The new Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 has 4 phono inputs, DVS support and 2 USB ports for easy switch over during sets. With every DJM release, there is always the addition of a new effect or two. However, it’s not often that we witness a complete overhaul of the FX section of the DJM range. The A9 boasts a number of changes, with improvements across the entire FX section from the Sound Color FX, to the External FX routing and the Beat FX section itself. Improved analogue input: a new phono amp circuit, plus a new signal GND terminal to easily attach ground wires from analogue turntables.It’s clear that the A9 has been designed as the heart of the booth, boasting an impressive range of connectivity options. As you would expect, there are the usual analogue, digital and ethernet connections. In addition, the A9 is future-proof thanks to the inclusion of both USB-B and USB-C connections to computers – whether Mac or PC, and regardless of the software platform of choice, DVS* sets are possible with both Rekordbox and Serato DJ. Moving across to the Beat FX section, the colour display perfectly highlights the status of the Beat FX in a clear and concise manner that’s easy to interpret. The Xpad is now in a longer straight line – this change allows expressive changes with a simple slide of your finger, adjusting parameters for a variety of effects – for example Echo/Ping Pong replicates a tape effect when the parameters are slid. The display features lighting that corresponds to the X-Pad configuration – adding to the ease of use. The Pioneer DJ DJM-A9 is the next generation of professional DJ mixer, designed to replace the DJM-900NXS2 as the industry standard mixer for clubs, festivals, radio stations and serious live streamers. With significant enhancements to sound quality, playability, connectivity, and the creative Beat FX capabilities of the mixer – the A9 has been built to elevate your performances. Sound Enhancements
