PIONEER STRENGTHENS ITS POSITION IN DJ MIXERS WITH THE ADDITION OF THE ADVANCED DJM-700

LONG BEACH – (August 28, 2007) – As the world of DJ’ing continues to welcome more individuals into its art of remixing, Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.’s Pro Audio and Video Division resumes its efforts to bring into fruition the best professional DJ gear in the market for new and veteran DJs and VJs. Pioneer’s newest product, the DJM-700, joins the ranks of the most highly recognized DJ mixers in the industry, the DJM-1000 and DJM-800, and further adds 96kHz / 24-bit high-performance full-digital outputs for the highest sound quality possible, effect frequency filter, assignable MIDI and various audio effects.

“The DJM-700 is the ‘all-around mixer’ that will be utilized by novice and experienced DJs alike. As DJs develop skills and their own style, the DJM-700 will be the perfect companion,” said Neil Altneu, vice president of sales and marketing for Pioneer’s Pro Audio and Video Division, “Performance features of the ProDJ’s flagship mixers have been equally incorporated in the DJM-700 ensuring this new addition will solidify the DJM line-up of mixers.”

The DJM-700’s high quality construction follows the same cues as its DJM-1000/DJM-800 predecessors by utilizing a high-rigidity chassis that minimizes noise from unnecessary vibration as well as a dual shield structure to eliminate entry of digital noise and full balanced output circuitry. Internally, the DJM-700 sound quality is re-enforced with a high quality 96kHz / 24-bit digital sampling system. Analog signals from the player pass through the mixer at the shortest signal route, digitized by 96kHz / 24-bit high quality sound A/D converter and reaches the digital mixing stage with the best possible state. The mixing is carried out by a 32-bit DSP with ideal filtering to produce the best sound for DJ playing without deteriorating the sound quality.

World’s First Effect Frequency Filter
The Pioneer DJM-700 is the world’s first mixer to include an Effect Frequency Filter that allows the user to limit the frequency bands subjected to effects. Conventional effectors are limited to manipulating the entire frequency range, whereas the Effect Frequency Filter now expands the user’s ability to showcase their own mixing style.

Manual Filter Capabilities
The DJM-700 mixer also utilizes the same manual filter found on the well-renowned DJM-800. The manual filter enables more intuitive settings for multi-layered effects expanding the DJs creativity with their music. Combining multi-effect options such as the Beat Effect, along with the manual filter allows for a wider range of DJ style and expression.

Multiple Effects Capabilities
The DJM-700 also features multiple effects that can be synced with its tempo (beat) capabilities:
• Beat Effect: Pioneered from the DJM-600, the beat effect has evolved into a 96kHz / 24-bit high performance effect in the DJM-700. The mixer automatically detects the tempo, also known as beat per minute (BPM), of the tune so the effects are aligned perfectly with the beat. The DJM-700 enables various effects such as delay, echo, trans, filter, flanger, phaser, reverb, robot and crush.
• Roll Sampler: The DJM-700 incorporates a new roll sampler with a 96kHz / 24-bit output which enables the user real-time sampling of sounds. Four patterns of sampling are available which includes roll, reverse roll, pitch up roll and pitch down roll.
• Beat Select Buttons: The mixer incorporates two beat select buttons letting the user quickly select the effect timing to maintain synchronization between the beat effects and audio.

Fully Assignable MIDI functions
DJs with external equipment such as DJ Effectors or DJ software applications that support MIDI control can rely on the DJM-700 to work in unison to create the ultimate DJ experience. Many of the dials and switch information of the DJM-700 can be converted to MIDI signal format. Up to 49 keys are assignable providing complete control of MIDI devices directly from the mixer with complete synchronicity.

Additional Features:
• Digital Output Terminal: Outputs 96kHz / 24-bit sampling rate for highest quality sound
• Cross Fader Assign: Each channel of the mixer can be assigned to the cross fader
• 3-Band Equalizer: A built-in equalizer on each channel enables level control within a –26 dB to +6 dB range for high, mid and low bands, respectively.
• Fader Curve Adjust: The user can change the cross fader/channel fader curve
• Talk Over: The mixer automatically lowers track volume when it senses a vocal input on the microphone
• Peak Level Meter: A peak level located on the top right of the mixer shows input levels from each channel
• Fader Start: With Pioneer CDJ products, the fader can automatically start the players by simply sliding the cross fader or channel fader

The DJM-700 will be available in September 2007 with a suggested price of $1299.

It's not really meant for those that have the 800. This is a little brother to the 800. For those with a tighter budget. A few less features but with same audio quality 96kHz/24bit.

woot can't wait

Very well considering one

I still like the DJM-700 mk1 better!

nice, looks like more of a direct replacement for the 600 with improved audio and MIDI. Think this will be very popular.

i posted this info yesterday but they removed my topic

DJ Vibemaster D has posted this information yesterday, but this was ignored.!! hmm strange..

There is no Pioneer DJM 700 MK1. This DJM 700 is the MK1. This is the first version of these. I think you mean the Pioneer DJM 707. But the DJM 707 has nothing to do with the 700. Theyre both different.

The release date of the Pioneer DJM 700 was Tuesday 27 august @ midnight. I knew it, it was first shown on Dj Resource. We are very enthiousistic and happy with this new release. I hope to try it fast.

Besides S/PDIF in, and different effects configuration, does the 800 really have much over this mixer? Having the colour/freq effects post beat effects sounds SO much better, but I don't think I'll be getting rid of my 800 yet...

i saw that it was deleted like 20mins after i saw it...this looks interesting with effects on the faders (like 909)..glad didnt get 800 now as got more choice

when can we expect some more vids

Hey i'm sure it's a fantastic mixer but them pictures do it no justice. The silver version looks a bit like that behringer djx700 at first glance, like a bit plastiky or something. I wish i knew about this before i bought the djm400. What exactly are the differences between this and the 800? whats the s/pdif all about?

Sorry guys, even tho it had been announced elsewhere, I had to remove any topic dealing with it until Karl officially posted the press-release.

There's a couple of differences between the 700 and the 800, primarily the lack of digital ins, no color effects, 49 points of MIDI vs. 61 on the 800, no rotary kit, only 2 faderstarts instead of 4, RCA booth monitor outputs instead of 1/4", 3 position master attenuator vs. 4, 2 position channel curve vs. 3.

There are a couple of nice features tho - a MIDI on/off button and that filter is cool as you can either effect the master audio or have it modify the effects section.

One thing I'm not sure of yet is the availability of rackmount-ears.

Oh, and the "MK1" which Caleb is referring to was the April Fool's Photoshop I created a couple of years back:

LOL i seen that mixer whilst searching for images of other pio mixers!!!

thanks pulse, just what i needed to hear!

thanks so much for enumerating the exact differences between the 700 and 800. no colour effects! i didn't notice that at first, sweet, im still the only bloke on the block with a mixer that can transpose keys and do the crush effect. love that ****!


(was trying to look for differences in the spec sheets, was getting confused)

Nope I meant exactly what Pulse just posted
