Press Release:

“The Xone:DB4 is a truly ground-breaking mixer and by far the most advanced product that we have designed. Every feature has been meticulously researched with a view to offering DJs ultimate creativity. Based on the iLive pro-touring FX system, we developed FX algorithms with BPM conscious parameters and tight spectral control, customised to perfectly fit the DJ environment.

As the loops and FX are automatically synchronised to the tempo of the track, it is very easy to build some amazing grooves and soundscapes without problems of latency, low fidelity and the general hassle often associated with using software and laptops.

The icing on the cake is the flexible input matrix, where any audio source can be selected on any or all of the channels. Different processing can be applied to the same track on separate channels and you can fade between them, or a phrase sampled in the looper of one channel can be added to the mix later in the track. Our digital design team has done an incredible job to ensure that this is one of the most innovative and exciting DJ mix tools to date.”

Xone Design Manager

Let’s take a closer look…

Pioneer have set out to make a simple yet stylish headphone that emulates their flagship model, the HDJ2000. They’re engineered specifically to strongly reproduce the low and mid level frequencies by utilising Pioneer’s newly developed 40 mm diameter driver unit and by narrowing the ear pad opening to give crystal clear sound.

The rotating arm on the right side allows up to 60 degrees of movement enabling the user to listen to one cup whilst freeing the other ear for monitor speakers. The pack also contains two interchangeable cables of different lengths; a 3 metre curly cable for DJ’ing and a 1 metre straight cable for use with your iPod.

“The HDJ-500 takes all the quality and design of Pioneer’s top end headphone technology and makes it accessible to a much wider market.”

-Jason Pook, Product Development Manager, Pioneer Europe.

The CDJ850 is a CD/MP3/USB Media Player and controller for your favourite DJ software and Pioneers free Rekordbox software. It replaces the ever popular CDJ800 retaining all the core functionality and gaining digital media support and software control. It’s significantly cheaper than the CDJ900 model with the omission of the ProDJ Link connection and slipmode amongst others. Read on…

The Pioneer CDJ850 has been designed from the ground up to incorporate much of the functionality of the more expensive CDJ900 and CDJ2000 but in a more affordable package. The CDJ850 will play music from a variety of sources including CD, USB hard drives and USB flash sticks in a variety of formats including MP3, WAV and AAC.

The large jog wheel is lifted straight from a CDJ-2000 and will feel instantly familiar to anyone who has used a Pioneer CD player before. The new jog wheel displays a huge amount of data clearly such as track information, BPM and wave data. The CDJ-850 is fully rekordbox compatible allowing you to plan your sets out beforehand from loops to cue points. Even if you go to a club with CDJ-900s or CDJ-2000s installed, your set will be prepared and ready and you will feel instantly at home.

The Tag List function allows DJs to plan set lists on the fly, adding and removing tracks whenever you need to. The set list can then be saved as a playlist within rekordbox and recalled whenever you need it again. The CDJ850 is fully HID capable meaning it can be used to control any major DJ software. The built-in 24-bit soundcard keeps your music sounding crisp and clear no matter what the situation.

Pioneer have said:

“The CDJ-2000s are quickly replacing the CDJ-1000Mk3 as the industry standard player in the world’s biggest clubs, while the CDJ-900 takes root in regular clubs. The new CDJ-350 has now launched, offering the most affordable rekordbox compatible deck for the beginner DJ, but left a gap for semi-pro bedroom DJs and bars. Pioneer today announce the complete rekordbox enabled CDJ line-up with the new CDJ-850.

Intentionally designed to feel and function like other CDJ models further up the range, the CDJ-850 will give that all important reassurance when turning up to a gig with other CDJ models in the booth. And just as budding DJs practiced on the CDJ-800 at home in preparation for their club gigs on the CDJ-1000, the CDJ-850 is set to become the new training ground for DJs hoping to break it on the club circuit.”

The CDJ850 will be priced at £769 and will be released in August. Demand will be high as it always is with new Pioneer kit so get yourself in the queue and pre-order here.
