New Pioneer DJM-850 mixer releasing in March!

Pioneer DJ is releasing the DJM-850 in March this year. This mixer is Pioneers answer to the now-discontinued DJM-800, and well as offers another solution other than the DJM-T1, or DJM-900NXS.

Below are some of it's features:

• Variety of EffectsThe DJM-850 follows Pioneer’s traditional mixer layout, featuring a variety of advanced sound
effects that provide DJs with virtually limitless possibilities when mixing their music. Pioneer
includes a new BEAT COLOR FX function, which changes effects by linking the audio input
from each channel.

• New Beat Color FX - Users can quickly change between the new Beat Color FX and
Sound Color FX to suit each tune for further remixing and sound capabilities. By
activating the Beat Color FX, users are able to manipulate the Sound Color FX and
Beat Effect simultaneously, resulting in more creative effects that complement the beat
of the music.



• Built-in 24bit/96kHz High Performance USB Soundcard - An integrated high
performance USB sound card enables up to four inputs/outputs1 simultaneously with
no deterioration in sound quality. The sound card supports three different sampling rates
(96kHz/48kHz/44.1kHz) and the ASIO/Core Audio standards that can also be used for
music recording and production. The USB port on top of the mixer provides quick
connections to use DJ software via laptop. The signal output path from the mixer can be
easily modified using its setup utility tool3 via a computer.

• TRAKTOR SCRATCH 2 Certified - The DJM-850 offers compatibility to the Scratch Control (DVS) with Native Instrument’s TRAKTOR
SCRATCH PRO 2/DUO 2 software. Using the timecode disc bundled with the software
and a PC, the DJM-850 is ready for scratch control (DVS) with a CDJ player or Vinyl turntable.
Additional Features

• MIDI Signal - Operation information of the mixer’s knobs and buttons can be transmitted
as a MIDI for a “Full Ensemble MIDI” function to control other connected devices.

• Switching 3-Band EQ/Isolator - Each channel of the mixer is equipped with a
switchable 3-band EQ (+6dB to -26dB) and 3-band isolator (+6dB to -∞dB)

• P-LOCK Fader Cap - Keeps the fader channel and crossfader knobs (caps) locked,
preventing them from physically slipping off during heavy use.

• Scratch Control - Scratch control is possible by using the time code disc7 bundled with
DJ software supporting DVS (Digital Vinyl System)6 from CDJ players and vinyl turntables.
