Pioneer DJM-500 for the mobile DJ

Pioneer Electronics introduces their latest audio mixer ideal for mobile DJ’s out there – the DJM-5000. The unit combines five different products (mic effector, audio interface, MIDI controller, audio processor, and second zone mixer) into a single device. Features of the DJM-5000 include:

Rack-mountable (5U by 19 inches)
Two output modes – multi-zone and standard. In multi-zone, the mixer’s outputs can be dedicated to multiple audio sources and distributed to two different areas. e.g – One room could have music from an MP3 player while another room could have music from a turntable. In standard mode, all four audio outputs are directed to one area
Advanced Talk Over – attenuates the frequencies in the mid-range / vocal area of music being played while the microphone is in use. This allows someone to speak without lowering the entire volume output
Three microphone inputs – two are independent balanced inputs. Each mic has a dedicated volume control and 3 band equalizer. Microphone section of the mixer is outfitted with four effects – reverb, echo plus verb, octaver, and pitch
96kHz/24-bit analog to digital converter and 32 bit DSP
Sound Maximizer audio processor
Six-channel (three stereo pairs) USB audio interface. Allows for direct-plug in from a laptop to the mixer over a USB connection
Two Digital Inputs
Each channel features a multi-colored, 10-segment / per channel LED meter
Equipped with a 3-band (High, Mid, Low) equalizer on each channel, the sound can be adjusted from –26dB to +6dB
Users can easily assign channel output via the cross fader for increased flexibility
Allows the curve of the cross fader to be adjusted to any of three patterns
The mixer can automatically start/cue a connected device such as Pioneer’s CDJ or MEP players by simply sliding the cross fader or channel fader
