Pioneer DJ DJM-A9

Description

The DJM-A9 raises the bar for club standard, professional mixers with stunningly clear sounds quality, enhanced playability and connectivity, and a host of new features to take performances to the next level. The DMJ-A9 delivers new, industry-first features, and offers multiple advancements over its predecessor, the Pioneer DJ DJM-900NXS2. The new DJM-A9 mixer simply produces a higher level of natural-sounding audio than ever before.

Key Features

Clear Sound Quality
The next generation DJM-A9 mixer is equipped with an ESS Technology 32-bit high-quality A/D converter while the master and booth output sections employ 32-bit high-quality D/A converters.

Evolved playability
With higher-quality, and slicker channel faders than the DJM-900NXS2, plus the third-generation MAGVEL FADER crossfader, artists can produce silky-smooth mixing and rapid, stable scratching. The DJM-A9 also adds increased spacing around the EQ knobs and bright LEDs in the channel section for an easier visual grasp on sound levels.

Sound Colour FX
With the industry-first Center Lock feature for Sound Colour FX, each knob will stop turning once the knob has reached the center position.

Advanced Beat FX
A new colour display helps artists to quickly and accurately understand the status of the selected effect, and it features lighting that corresponds with the X-Pad's horizontal arrangement, enabling more intuitive control with a simple finger slide. Artists can use the X-Pad to change the Echo and Ping Pong effects to create a unique analog tape-style sound. And, within the 14 total Beat FX, there are 3 new ones you can use to add extra variation to your performances:
Mobius: Changes the frequency of the oscillator to constantly rise or fall in time with the beat.
Triplet Filter: Changes the cut-off frequency cyclically for the filter according to the beat (based on 3 beats).
Triplet Roll: Outputs the recorded sound repeatedly according to the specified beat fraction (based on 3 beats).

Enhanced Microphone
The DJM-A9's microphone section provides more control and adds extra creativity for DJs. The phantom-powered input, a feature never seen before on a DJ mixer means artists can connect a high-quality condenser mic directly to the DJM-A9. There are also 3 new microphone effects, with a dedicated reverb effect:
Echo: Outputs a delayed sound several times while attenuating it to add an echo effect.
Pitch: Changes the pitch of the microphone sound.
Megaphone: Changes the microphone sound so it sounds like you're talking through a megaphone.

Expanded connectivity
Connect two different PC/Mac computers at the same time using dual USB Type-B and USB Type-C ports for seamless transitions between DJs and easy back-to-sets. Additionally, the Bluetooth input routes to any channel on the DJM-A9 to wirelessly drop audio tracks into sets from other devices and use all the mixers features and effects. The Multi I/O section has an independent channel selector to allow the use of external effects separately from Beat FX, giving the DJM-A9 true send capabilities.

Dual Independent Headphone Outputs and Booth EQ
Two DJs can plug in headphones simultaneously with separate cue buttons, volume knobs, and mix balance knobs for each set of headphones, making it easier to cue tracks during changeovers. There is also a 2-band booth EQ,
