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.

The DJM-700 is Pioneer’s latest, hi-fi and sophisticated 4-channel mixer that has some additional features to set it apart from its elder brother the DJM-800. The DJM-700 definitely sets new standards for DJs because of its distinguished features. It features cutting-edge effects, very fine sound quality and MIDI connectivity.

The DJM-700 has inherited the key feature of excellent sound quality from its expensive brothers, the DJM-1000 and DJM-800. In addition to this, there is a myriad of exciting effects in store for the DJ use, including echo, filter, delay, robot and crush, transform, reverb, phaser, flanger, 13 beat effects, an enhanced roll sampler with 4 roll effects and MIDI connectivity with 49 assignable controls. The Pioneer DJM-700 (S) mixer also supports cutting edge effects by including the world’s first Effect Frequency Filter, which allows one to either add any effect to the song, or to only another effect, or to do both simultaneously.

Other functions include the fader curve for both cross faders and channel faders, a powerful 3 band EQ per channel, talk over function, a tap BPM counter or an on board auto and fader start function for CDJs. The DJM-700 also has a dual structure, which helps in eliminating digital noise, and the size and layout of this mixer conforms to industry standards.

Bottom line, the DJM-700 offers the latest in high-end and powerful mixer technology with the quality to meet and exceed even the most demanding DJ’s requirements. It is a package which provides great quality, robust effects, MIDI connectivity and at the same time stays within most budgets.

The Pioneer SC-LX90 is one of the latest, most powerful and most advanced amplifiers ever launched. Its ability to reproduce HD (high definition) sound, calls for a standing ovation. The combination of the direct energy HD amplifier and the IEC power results in a unique and powerful amplifier which has the capacity of delivering a total power output of 1400W to multiple channels (over 10). Most amplifiers, such as the Onkyo A-9755 with only 200W, pale in comparison.

This highly advanced amp gives projects sound with the same quick responsiveness required by all modern music studios. The SC-LX90 is not only unique in its features but also in its construction. It is based on the “Separated Power Block” design model. There is a proper fusion of both the pre-amplifier and the power amplifier using this model, even though there is a separation in the same body between the pre-block and the actual amplification block.

The SC-LX90 is designed based on the guidelines of the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). This makes it perfect for integration with the home network by allowing all the media files to be brought to any room from the PC. It has 6 HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs, which allows the SC-LX90 to support any kind of audio visuals. An external display is not required for SC-LX90 as it has a 5.1 inch LCD monitor in front which displays any kind of information in colour.

Bottom line, the Pioneer SC-LX90 is one of the most advanced and powerful amplifiers available with its unique features and construction.
