Limited edition piano black CDJ-400 and DJM-400 released

Introducing the new-look CDJ-400-K and DJM-400-K: flexible, affordable, performance-packed tools that will soon be available in a limited edition format.

These feature a sleek piano-black finish, and are complemented by a cool blue illuminated LED design for both models.

Limited edition: dual CDJ-400-Ks, DJM-400-K and flight case for €1999

This presents a striking variation on the now well-established 400 series, and enables DJs to tailor their colour design to their individual style.

The new 400-K set-up will only be available as a special package (that’s dual CDJ-400-Ks and a DJM-400-K) from late November 2009 at the special suggested package price of €1999 (inc. VAT) and includes a limited edition PRO-440FLT-B blue and black flight case.

CDJ-400-K Main Features

Versatile USB-friendly digital media playback

The CDJ-400 comes equipped with a USB port. So, besides CD audio and MP3 files from CD, DJs can play MP3 music files that have been copied onto such portable media devices as USB flash memory or USB hard disk drives^*1.

Full MIDI control via USB – without a control disc

Virtually all buttons/sliders can send MIDI control data via the USB connection. When the player is connected to a computer, users can DJ, using files derived from PC, with Pioneer DJ software DJS or Serato Scratch Live^*2 – without the need for a control disc. The player can also be used as a generic MIDI controller, to control other MIDI compatible PC applications.

Innovative Scratch Jog Effects

In addition to the Digital Jog Break Effects (JET, WAH and ROLL) found in CDJ mode, Pioneer delivers a trio of Scratch Jog Effects, BUBBLE, TRANS and WAH, in vinyl mode. BUBBLE simulates a scratch technique and TRANS is like a rhythmic transform with a cross fader, while the WAH effect resembles the sound of a guitar wah pedal.

DJM-400-K Main Features

Dynamic digital system sports 96kHz/24-bit sampling

The analogue signal input is digitised with a high-quality A/D converter that samples at 96kHz/24-bit via the shortest of communications circuits. Mixing is achieved through 32-bit digital signal processing, resulting in optimum quality without any deterioration of sound.

Wide range of high-quality Beat Effects

Effects that automatically detect the BPM of the music and sync to the beat include Delay, Echo, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Robot and Roll – all of which are processed at 24-bit for top quality sound. In addition, by using the Beat Select Button, the mixer automatically sets the effect time linked to the BPM.

Three-band isolator, separately equipped for each channel

Both channels house a three-band ‘kill’ (isolator type) EQ that ranges from +9dB to -∞ (infinity) for total sound management and acute creative control.
