The brand new Pioneer CDJ-900 Professional Multi Player is finally on the market. Just getting it out of the box, you can see Pioneer’s 70 years of experience packed inside a prodigy tabletop player. It’s a professional DJ mixer aimed at flawless performance with a user-friendly interface. With a unique search ability of scanning songs from the player, it’s truly a state-of-the-art device that even allows you to boot content media from a portable hard drive or a flash key. As with the predecessor, the Pioneer CDJ-900 Professional Multi Player comes with the song management software, “rekordbox,” that allows you to sort your playlists and libraries like a pro.

As mentioned, one of Pioneer CDJ-900 Professional Multi Player’s biggest features is the ability to play back many media formats. MP3, WAV, AAC, AIFF, or what-have-you, can be played without skipping a beat. You can create smooth transitions with the Slip Mode feature; it allows you to set a song to play during a loop, continuing the playback after the beat repeats, making a softer crossfade between the two. With the Pioneer CDJ-900 Professional Multi Player’s advanced auto beat loop available at your fingertips, you’re buying yourself time to more carefully mix beats as the system continues a loop of four beats playing over and over. With the MIDI mapping interface, you have the capability to link up other devices (computer software like VirtualDJ, or DJ effecters) to your Pioneer CDJ-900 Professional Multi Player and use them at the touch of a button.

On to some technical details of the Pioneer CDJ-900 Professional Multi Player:

  • The unit weighs 8.6 lbs and measures 12”x15”x5” in size.
  • Works from 120V at just 26W – very impressive considering the huge LCD display that this product offers.
  • The signal-to-noise ratio is >115dB with .0003% total harmonic distortion at 4-20kHz frequency range.
  • There are two outputs on the Pioneer CDJ-900 Professional Multi Player: RCA Audio Out, and Coaxial Digital Out.

The Pioneer CDJ-900 Professional Multi Player’s huge LCD display measures 480x234 pixels. It shows details of every track playing, as well as its title and duration. You can connect it to a monitor for a bigger display. The jog dial scratch pad is touch-sensitive; it allows DJs to instantly locate any spot, like the chorus for example, to loop over or fast forward there, or do whatever else their fantasy allows them to. With the portable size and weight, it’s great for live performances as it can fit in any small DJ mixer case.

Professionals who have enjoyed this DJ mixer for a few months as they rolled out the research models of these units claim that this is the most feature jam-packed piece of equipment that they’ve ever come across. Only way to find out if it’s true is to try out the Pioneer CDJ-900 Professional Multi Player for yourself.
