Pioneer DJ has been teasing online about a new bit of kit for a few weeks now! Many thought it was going to be a new Pioneer DJ controller but it actually turned out to be the release of a new 4-channel mixer, the DJM-A9.
The new mixer from Pioneer DJ, possibly aimed at replacing the industry workhorse DJM-900NXS2, has a bunch of new features, including a Center Lock feature for Sound Color FX and a new mixer layout that gives more spacing around the EQ knobs.
- STUNNINGLY CLEAR SOUND QUALITY – The DJM-A9 has been upgraded with stunningly clear sound quality, giving you the edge when it comes to taking your performances to the next level.
- ENHANCED PLAYABILITY AND CONNECTIVITY – The DJM-A9 boasts enhanced playability and connectivity, allowing you to take your pro audio setup to the next level. Effortlessly connect microphones, controllers, and more using bluetooth or usb drive connections.
- EMOTIONAL AND DYNAMIC PERFORMANCES – The DJM-A9 has been improved as a musical instrument, for more emotional and dynamic performances.
The channel selector is now a dedicated button, whilst the channel input section now comes with an ESS Technology 32-bit high-quality A/D converter for “crystal-clear, high-resolution sound” that “takes the audio quality from the DJM-900NXS2 to another level”.
The Beat FX section and mic have also been “significantly enhanced”, says Pioneer DJ.
There’s a Bluetooth input that you can route to any channel and both rekordbox and Serato are supported.
A cryptic photo had been posted to the brand’s socials with the text: “Out of this world, landing soon. 28.02.23”. We can see why people were guessing it would be a new DJ controller unit.
The DJM-A9 mixer is priced at $2,699/€2,799/£2,456 and is expected to ship in early March. Find out more from the Pioneer DJ site here.
