DJM-2000NXS Discontinued?

I have just noticed that the DJM-2000NXS has been discontinued.  What happened?  I bought mine about a year ago and think it's the best thing since sliced bread.  One minute your are running the flagship Pioneer mixer, the next minute you are trolling through the archived model pages wondering whether it was worth the money.  Don't get me wrong; I love this mixer, but where did it go wrong?

It's been around for a few years, and the DJM-900NXS2 (and the other smaller 4ch mixers) have always been better sellers. Like yourself, there are many fans of the DJM-2000/NXS mixers, but not enough buying it to continue the product. Sorry!

And this will keep on being an issue. What you buy today will be old tomorrow.

Like you wrote: this doesn't mean that it's not good, it's just how it goes.

Thanks for the quick reply.  Now I know that I have to keep mine in good shape and treat it right, so it will treat me right, yes?  In a few years, the kids will say, "Hey, is that really a 2000NXS?  My grandfather had one of those!  It had no cranial inputs!  How did they mix with only four channels?"

Don't feel bad. I love my DJM2000nxs! The fact it's discontinued will really just make them that much more rare. I always buy the gear I like best, and that doesn't always line up with what everyone else like. I still use technics 1210 m3d's becuase I really love spinning on vinyl, but I also love using the CDJ2000 NXS2 and DJS1000 too. For me it's the best of both worlds.

FYI I still have 2 MTX MX600 mixers! As far as sampler mixers, those were probally the best ever! 

 

Happy mixxing!

I'm pretty sure the reason the DJM-2000 line was a commercial flop is not that it was a poorly designed product, but rather:

  • Too expensive, which means most DJs who have a CDJ system at home for practice usually choose the DJM-900.
  • Because of the previous point, clubs prefer to buy the mixer everybody is familiar with. The cycle feeds itself and the DJM-900 becomes the standard.
  • DJM-900 is a more typical DJ mixer layout. DJs who've never used a DJM-900 before can learn most of it it within minutes, whereas the DJM-2000 takes a bit of user manual diving.
  • The DJM-900 is simpler which means there's less to go wrong if you are not familiar with it e.g. pushing the wrong button.Also, a lot of use value simplicity. You can already do so much on the DJM-900 that few DJs can warrant the extra cost of the DJM-2000.
  • The DJM-900 has fewer controls on it which means less chances of something breaking i.e. less money to spend on repairs in the long run.
  • It's too wide which makes the whole set-up less ergonomic as the decks are further from away from the centre spot.
  • Too expensive
  • Too expensive

Well, today Dec 2, 2021 I still love the regular DJM-2000 but I also own a mixer released on June 9, 2006 and till today is the same Mixer with zero firmware, patches or updates. The Allen & Heath Xone:96. 

The Two Mixer I love and money was well spent.
