CDJ-2000 : Pioneer sort deux nouvelles Platines CD: les CDJ-2000 et CDJ-900

Pioneer vient d'annoncer la sortie de deux nouvelles Platines CD, les CDJ-900 et CDJ-2000. Vous l'aurez certainement compris, la CDJ-2000 est la digne héritière de la CDJ-1000, celle qui est venu doucettement remplacer les platines vinyles chères à tous les DJ's....

La nouveauté vient principalement du "petit" écran LCD WQVGA qui mesure tout de même 6.1 pouces et qui affichera les informations du morceau, les pochettes d'albums, les données wave, et autres infos. Pioneer y a également intégré le "Needle Pad", un pad sensitif permettant de valser entre les morceaux d'un simple mouvement des doigts. Et ce n'est pas tout, puisque le constructeur Japonais propose aussi d'utiliser la platine tel un contrôleur MIDI pour les autres appareils, avec pas moins de 35 touches.

Enfin, la dernière petite nouveauté sur cette CDJ-2000 concerne le Pro DJ Link, qui vous permettra de connecter des sources externes...



CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 Enable DJs to Access Their Music Directly from the Players.

Long Beach, CA (September 17, 2009) – Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. Professional Sound and Visual Division, the leader in Pro DJ products and the innovator of the CD turntable, today launched two multi-format digital turntables, the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900, with features that put the performance back into the art of DJing and reduce the need for laptops to access music files. DJs of all experience levels can enhance their mixing and scratching capabilities using proprietary technologies such as rekordbox™1 music management, Pro DJ Link, Needle Search and USB and SD card connectivity.

"Understanding the expanding needs of today's evolving DJs, Pioneer's new multi-format digital turntables allow DJs to access, search and control their content directly from the player itself," said Matt Dever, Vice President, Professional Sound and Visual Division. "The new CDJ players provide the same legendary quality standards and playability of the CDJ-1000/800 with the added convenience of native playback of key digital media file formats accessed through a multitude of compatible media, whether it's on CD, DVD, portable hard drive or flash memory device. In addition, both models are HID compatible with today's top DJ performance software, making these players the natural selection for any performance DJ."

Prepared For Any Performance
Adapting to today's variety of media formats, the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 enable playback of MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF audio files from CDs and USB memory devices, and from DVDs and SD cards as well on the CDJ-2000. A USB port located on top of the turntable enables users to quickly connect an external storage device such as a Tonium Pacemaker™ or a hard drive packed with music files, minimizing the need to bring a laptop computer to performances.

Both the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 turntables include rekordbox™, Pioneer's proprietary music management software that organizes and catalogs a DJ's entire music library. When music files are imported to rekordbox, the software analyzes each file and prepares them for use specifically with the new CDJ turntables. Key elements of Pioneer's rekordbox software
