Pioneer CDJ-2000

So looks like Pioneer launched their new CDJ 2000 this week, which was about 4 years in the making.

Will it revolutionize the way DJ's play their music and carry their music? Well I guess we will be seeing less bulky record bags and see more USB sticks and SD cards being carried by DJ's.

At $2,100 a whack they are definetly not cheap. How long till this becomes the standard at most clubs. Only time will tell.





The new CDJ boasts the following features:
  • Multi Format Playback - The CDJ-2000 enables playback of MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF audio files on CD,DVD-ROM, SD card and USB memory devices.
  • Pro DJ Link - New Pioneer Pro DJ Link that enables up to four CDJ-2000/900s to beconnected and share a single music source.
  • 6.1” Full Color LCD panel and Graphic User Interface - For displaying song titles, jacket art as well as detailed track information and wave form display of each song so DJs can find informatio nneeded to select a song at a glance.
  • Needle Search - Helps DJs instantaneously get to a specific part of a song with a simple touch of the Needle Search pad.
  • MIDI - Users can assign various buttons of the CDJ-2000 to trigger other devices, such as DJ effecters and software with MIDI mapping capability.
  • Free Rekordbox Music Management Software Included - Both the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 turntables include rekordbox, Pioneer’s proprietary music management software that organizes and catalogs a DJ’s entire music library. When music files are imported to rekordbox, the software analyzes each file and prepares them for use specifically with thenew CDJ turntables.
