Pioneer DJ's next generation DJ Mixer is here and its worth the wait! Crystal clear sound, improved connectivity and playability makes it the best DJ mixer on the market today!
The DJM-A9 is a 4-channel professional DJ mixer that raises
the bar for club standard mixers. It boasts huge upgrades
compared to its predecessor, the DJM-900NXS2, with
stunningly clear sound quality, enhanced playability and
connectivity, and a host of new features to help DJs take their
performances to the next level.
To provide incredible sound quality for clubs and festivals,
and a better, more intuitive experience for DJs so they feel like
they’re playing a musical instrument when they perform.
This unit is a must-have mixer for clubs, festivals, and
professional DJs
Stunningly clear sound quality
The next-generation club sound comes from extensive development and fine-tuning of existing
technology, plus brand-new components including ESS Technology 32-bit high-quality A/D and
D/A converters in the channel section and outputs respectively.
Evolved playability
The DJM-A9 features increased spacing around the EQ knobs, bright LEDs in the channel
section, optimized frequency response on the isolators, slicker channel faders than the DJM900NXS2, plus the third-generation MAGVEL FADER crossfader.
Sound Color FX with world’s first Center Lock
When the brand-new Center Lock feature is turned on and DJs use the popular Sound Color FX,
each knob will stop turning when it reaches the center position. This means the DJ can’t turn
the knob too far and accidentally switch to the opposite parameter.
Newly advanced Beat FX
A new color display helps DJs to quickly and accurately understand the status of the selected
Beat FX, and it features lighting that corresponds with the X-Pad’s horizontal arrangement,
enabling more intuitive control with a simple finger slide. There are 14 Beat FX to play with
including 3 new ones: Mobius, Triplet Fliter, and Triplet Roll.
Enhanced mic section
The phantom powered input means a high-quality condenser mic can be connected directly to
the DJM-A9, and there are 3 new microphone effects with a dedicated reverb effect so DJs can
change the sound of their voice and hype up the crowd.
Expanded connectivity and dual independent headphone outputs
2 different PC/Mac systems can be connected at the same time thanks to the dual USB Type-B
and USB Type-C ports (there are 2 of each) and wireless audio can be routed to any channel
via the Bluetooth input. The Multi I/O section has an independent channel selector, giving the
DJM-A9 true send capabilities. There are dual headphone outputs too, each with their own cue
buttons, volume knobs, and mix balance knobs, so DJs can monitor tracks independently
Stunningly clear sound quality
Your performances will sound better than ever on the DJM-A9, which takes the audio quality from the DJM-900NXS2 to another level.
This next-generation club sound comes from extensive development and fine-tuning of existing technology from previous units, plus brand-new components. The channel input section is equipped with an ESS Technology 32-bit high-quality A/D converter for crystal-clear, high-resolution sound, while the master and booth output sections employ 32-bit high-quality D/A converters from the same brand so you can experience sound from the booth monitors that’s the same as the crowd hears on the dancefloor. Even the sound quality of the microphone input and headphone outputs has been improved with carefully selected new parts and design optimization.
Evolved playability
Feel like you’re playing a musical instrument when you get your hands on the DJM-A9, which inherits the familiar layout from the DJM range but includes updated controls and components for accurate mixing and instinctive scratching.
Increased spacing around the EQ knobs gives you the room to twist your fingers, and high-grade, bright LEDs in the channel section make it easier than ever to get a visual grasp on sound levels. You can perform more dynamically thanks to the frequency response of the isolators, which have been optimized to make the most of the latest music production traits. And, with higher-quality, slicker channel faders than the DJM-900NXS2, plus the third-generation MAGVEL FADER crossfader, you can enjoy silk-smooth mixing and rapid, stable scratching.
Sound Color FX with world’s first Center Lock
Turn on the brand-new Center Lock feature and, when you’re using the popular Sound Color FX, each knob will stop turning when you reach the center position. This means you can twist the dial as quickly as you like, taking the effect right up to the maximum of the hi or down to the minimum of the low parameter, without the risk of going too far and switching to the opposite parameter. When you turn Center Lock off, the Sound Color FX knobs work in the same way as those on the DJM-900NXS2.
Newly advanced Beat FX
The Beat FX section, a long-time favourite element of the DJM series, has been significantly enhanced for the DJM-A9. A new color display helps you to quickly and accurately understand the status of the selected effect, and it features lighting that corresponds with the X-Pad’s horizontal arrangement, enabling more intuitive control with a simple finger slide. You can use the X-Pad to change the Echo and Ping Pong effects to create a unique analog tape-style sound. And, within the 14 total Beat FX, there are 3 new ones you can use to add extra variation to your performances:
Mobius:
Changes the frequency
of the oscillator to constantly rise or fall in time with the beat.
Triplet Filter:
Changes the cut-off frequency cyclically for the filter according to
the beat (based on 3 beats).
Triplet Roll:
Outputs the recorded sound repeatedly according to the specified beat
fraction (based on 3 beats).
Even better, the channel
selector is now a dedicated button, enabling you to quickly apply effects to your
chosen channel.
In response to the evolving needs DJs have when using microphones during live streams and club sets, the mic section of the DJM-A9 has been developed so you can enjoy more control and add extra creativity to your performances on the mic. The phantom powered input means you can connect a high-quality condenser mic directly to the DJM-A9, a feature never seen before on a DJ mixer. And there are 3 new microphone effects, with a dedicated reverb effect so you can change the sound of your voice and hype up the crowd with your vocals:
Echo:
Outputs a delay sound several times while attenuating it to add an echo
effect.
Pitch:
Changes the pitch of the microphone sound.
Megaphone:
Changes the microphone sound so it sounds like you’re talking through a
megaphone.
It’s quick and easy to turn
the mic input on or off with the brand-new Push-to-Talk button when you want to
grab the mic and address the audience. The audio from the mic can be excluded
from the recording output if you want, so you can MC for the live crowd but
record your mix without vocals.
Expanded connectivity
Connect 2 different PC/Mac
systems at the same time thanks to the dual USB Type-B and USB Type-C ports
(there are 2 of each) for seamless transitions between DJs and easy
back-to-back sets. And, with a Bluetooth input which you can route to any
channel on the DJM-A9, you can wirelessly drop audio tracks into your sets from
other devices such as smartphones and use all the mixer’s features and effects
to change the sound. The Multi I/O section has an independent channel selector so external
effects can be used separately from Beat FX, giving the DJM-A9 true send
capabilities. This means you can route the effected sound from an external unit
such as an RMX-1000 or a delay pedal to a separate channel instead of the
channel it came from.
Dual independent headphone outputs and booth EQ
Plug in your headphones at the same time as another DJ and enjoy the freedom to monitor the channels you want to. With separate cue buttons, volume knobs, and mix balance knobs for each set of headphones, it’s easy for 2 DJs to cue up tracks during changeovers and back-to-back sets. Plus, with the 2-band booth EQ, you can change the high and low frequencies to complement the master output and match the mood in the booth to the feeling on the dancefloor.
Support for the brand-new Stagehand app and built-in Sound Check function
The DJM-A9 is compatible with Stagehand (coming soon), the industry-first PRO DJ LINK remote management app
for front of house teams. Using an iPad connected wirelessly to the mixer via a LAN router (available separately), an engineer can keep an eye on things such as level meters and the DJ’s use of the mixer’s controls, making it easier to maximize the sound system’s settings and run a smoother, more impactful show without needing to interrupt the DJ’s performance or even enter the booth.
