Is it time for the DJM-900NXS2 to move on?
Pioneer DJ has been teasing online about a new set of tools for a few weeks now! Many thought it would be a new Pioneer DJ controller, but it turns out it’s actually a version of a new four-channel mixer, the DJM-A9.
Pioneer DJ’s new mixer, possibly intended to replace the industry’s DJM-900NXS2 workhorse, has a host of new features, including a Center Lock feature for Sound Color FX and a new mixer design that provides more space around the EQ knobs.
The channel selector is now a dedicated button, while the channel input section now comes with a high-quality 32-bit ESS A/D converter for “clear, high-fidelity sound” that takes the sound quality of the DJM-900NXS2 to another level.
The Beat FX and microphone section have also been “significantly” improved, says the Pioneer DJ.
There is a Bluetooth input that you can point to any channel and both rekordbox and Serato are supported.
A cryptic image was posted on the brand’s social networks with the text: “Out of this world, you will arrive soon. 02/28/23″. We can see why people would guess that it would be a new DJ console.
