The Pioneer DJM400 2-Channel Mixer

The DJM400 is the latest mixer to come from the flagship Mixer manufacturer Pioneer, and offers a complete digital mixing solution. It features the world’s first intelligent In-loop Sampler, all-digital mixing bus 24bit/96KHz and seven onboard effects. The DJM400 goes very well with Pioneer’s CDJ200 turntable in both functions and design. This helps any DJ to increase their range of remixing and DJing.

The In-loop Sampler is a sharp and smart sampler (24bit/96kHz), which first identifies the rhythm or the tempo of the song and then it samples it for a span of 4 beats, and then it finally loops this sample. This sample is automatically in synchronisation with the beats of the tune being played, therefore, it delivers an amazing piece of remixing. Samples are automatically compressed or stretched by the sampler to match the tune.

On board effects are able to detect the BPM and then sync with the beats accordingly. The Pioneer DJM-400 features 7 on-board effects: delay, filter, echo, robot, phaser, roll and flanger. All the effects are processed at 24 bits in order to achieve higher sound quality.

Each of the DJM400’s two channels has a three-band isolator equalizer with a complete cut capability. It also gives you the freedom to select the connection, and choose whether to use any of the two microphone connections or the stereo connection. It also has a talk over feature which automatically reduces or lowers the volume of the track being played, so that the DJ can speak over the track. The DJM400 also features a peak level meter which allows the user to keep a check on the input levels to each channel.

Bottom line, the DJM400 is an excellent and intelligent 2-channel mixer which gives the user the ultimate remixing and DJing experience.
