For Pioneer, it Affects 700 employees (but that number is split between the AV division being pushed out to Onkyo, and the DJ division) I have not seen the number of DJ employees broken out separately, and have yet to find where this can be extrapolated.

Also spilled was the DJ division's revenue of $202 million US, so the price was just shy of 3x revenue (slightly in bargain territory) which is especially strange considering the reported 20% operating margin.  It is said Pioneer's revenue represents 60% of the global DJ market, about $600mm total.  The multiplier to margin to market share figures indicate we should expect "interesting times" ahead now that the bean counters own it.

***oops, I meant the dj market was $300m total...had 6 on the brain.
