Pioneer DJ : DJM-S9 Pioneer DJ

The Pioneer Pro DJ DJM-S9 mixer is the ideal centerpiece to any digital vinyl rig. It's flexible enough for club setups, robust enough for battle DJing, and loaded with two audio interfaces that are fully compatible with Serato DJ. As a standalone mixer, the DJM-S9 brings plenty to the table, including powerful EQ filtering, Filter FX, Beat FX, and a Magvel Pro crossfader that's every turntablist's dream come true. As a controller for Serato DJ, the DJM-S9 packs serious horsepower, featuring eight multi-purpose performance pads per side, dedicated effects controls with OLED labels, and two independent USB audio interfaces to make changeovers easy and battle setups epic.

 

Pioneer Pro DJ DJM-S9 Digital Mixer at a Glance:

Loaded with hands-on controls and built-in effects

When you look at the DJM-S9, you'll see many controls that are normally found on all-in-one DJ controllers. In fact, the only things that are missing are the decks and deck controls. Rubber performance pads for controlling Serato DJ's hot cues, roll, slice, loop, and other functions are there, and there's a full set of effects controls as well. But the DJM-S9 is so much more than a controller that lets you flesh out your vinyl/DVS setup. It's a killer digital DJ mixer, complete with powerful filters and onboard effects, including six dedicated Beat FX, plus Filter FX such as Dub Echo, Noise, and Pitch. A pair of large style levers let you quickly switch effects on and off, making it fast and easy to combine analog sources with your Serato DJ rig.

 

Dual USB audio interfaces make changeovers easy

One of the reasons why the DJM-S9 makes the short list of mixers Sales Engineers happily recommend to club owners is its set of two independent USB audio interfaces (sound cards). These USB connections allow one DJ to hookup while another is performing, so that when it's time to changeover, the music never has to stop. They also make battle setups super easy, even if both DJs are running Serato DJ.

 

Magvel Pro Crossfader lets you pull off scratch miracles

If you scratch, then you're going to love performing with the Pioneer Pro DJ DJM-S9 mixer's Magvel Pro crossfader. No matter what kind of resistance or fader curve you prefer, the Magvel Pro can deliver it, allowing you to adjust between smooth crossfades and sharp cuts, effortless glide or stay-put stiffness, and everything in between. Do you sometimes get a bit overzealous with your fader flicks? There's no need to worry about rebound, thanks to the Magvel Pro's shock-absorbing bumpers, which cushion the fader at either extreme.
