Pioneer DJM-800 - Manual (Page 2)

DJM-800
96kHz/24bit Sampling
In order to maximize its characteristics, the DJM-800 inherits the high fidelity
technology of its big brother, the DJM-1000. The analog signal from the
player passes through the shortest signal route, first digitized at 96kHz/24bit
through a pro A/D converter where it reaches the digital mixing stage with
the best sound possible. The mixing is carried out by 32bit DSP without
deterioration of sound quality, thus producing the best sound.
Like the DJM-1000, the DJM-800 also has the same high rigid chassis for
minimizing unnecessary vibration which could adversely affect sound quality.
It also incorporates a dual-shield structure for eliminating entry of digital noise
and finally a high performance power supply for noise-free power.
Sound Color Effects
Harmonic Mixing Capability: The world’s first “Auto Harmonic Tuning”
function detects the key of song and automatically corrects it to the closest
true key. In music theory terms, if you have a song in the key of C and raised
the pitch on your turntable/CD player by 3%, you’re no longer in the key
of C, you’re half way between C and D, making it impossible to perform a
perfect harmonic mix. The way the Harmonic Tuning feature works is it takes
whatever key the source audio is in and adjusts the pitch until the key is at
a standard note.
Of course a DJ still has to know some basics about music, such as
which keys match, in order to pull off an acoustically perfect harmonic mix.
World class DJs currently spend thousands of hours learning the keys of
their music and re-mastering their library to be in “perfect pitch”. Now the
DJM-800 makes it easier to perform a “Harmonic Mix”.
“Filter” “Sweep” “Crush” effects: The DJM-800 incorporates a highpass/low-
pass filter, notch filter and bit crusher effect for ALL channels. In conjunction
with the additional Beat Effects, 50 combinations of effects are possible.
Beat Effect
Higher quality effects at 24bits make for a cleaner sounding remix. The
effects automatically detect the BPM of the music and sync to the beats.
DJM-800 includes some familiar effects, plus some new ones: Echo, Delay,
Reverse Delay, Pan, Transform, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Reverb, Robot,
Chorus, Roll and Reverse Roll.
Digital Input/Output Terminals
Digital inputs and outputs allow for connection with other digital-capable
equipment for a fully digital chain, without degradation of sound quality. The
DJM-800 is a perfect mixer not only for the club professional but also in a
recording studio environment where high fidelity sound is required. Input
frequencies of 44.1/48/96kHz are compatible; output frequency
is selectable between 48/96kHz.
Fully Assignable MIDI Function
You can send out MIDI signal from almost all knobs and switches on the
surface of the DJM-800 to external midi equipment (a total of 61 assignable
controls). Since the mixer can send out many MIDI signals, it can be used as
a flexible interface to control software or hardware such as Ableton Live or
an Edirol V4 video mixer.
Rotary Volume Knobs Available (Optional)
The main volume fader knobs can be replaced with rotary volume knobs,
which are especially valuable for extended mixing providing more subtlety
and precision. Part Number: DJC-800RV
Other Performance Features:
• Cross Fader Assign: allows you to assign each channel’s input
to the cross fader
• Fader Curve Adjust: allows you to change the cross
fader/channel fader curve
• Fader Start: connect a Pioneer CDJ player with a control cable
and playback can be started by simply sliding the cross fader
or channel fader
• 3-Band Equalizer: a built-in equalizer on each channel enables
level control within a -26dB to +6dB range for high, mid, low
bands, respectively
• Talk Over: automatically lowers track volume so an MC can talk
over the track
• Mic Signal Cut: eliminates the microphone sound output to the
booth monitor to prevent feedback.
• Peak Level Meter: Allows you to check the peak level of the
input audio for each channel as well as the master
