Whilst everyone is getting excited about the forthcoming return of Technics, Pioneer DJ today announced revised versions of its industry leading CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2.

The result of years of feedback from DJs of every genre, the latest additions deliver the highest possible sound quality, finely tuned features and unprecedented levels of control.

“I played a couple of tracks on the DJM-900NXS2 and I was quite astounded, it sounds like no other Pioneer DJ mixer I’ve heard,” said Andy Kayll, sound engineer at DC10. “Going up from 32-bit to 64-bit, the sound is so much more accurate and natural, you can hear it’s much warmer.”

The main takeaways are improve sound quality with the ability to use FLAC and ALAC support, a full-colour touch screen that now includes a handy full QWERTY keyboard and two banks of four colour-coded Hot Cues.

The CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2 are available from February 2016, both at an SRP of €2,299, including VAT
