24bit/96kHz Built-in High Performance USB Soundcard

An integrated high performance USB soundcard that enables up to four inputs/outputs(*1) simultaneously with no deterioration in sound quality. The soundcard supports three different sampling rates (96kHz/48kHz/44.1kHz) and the ASIO/Core Audio standards that can also be used for music recording and production. The USB port on top of the mixer provides quick connections to use DJ software via laptop. The signal output path from the mixer can be easily modified using its setup utility tool(*2) via a computer.

*1 Windows/Mac OS supported. For Windows, distribution to three or more systems is possible only when using software that supports ASIO.

*2 USB soundcard functions can be used by installing the driver software and setup utility software from the CD-ROM that is included.

Variety of Advanced Effects

The DJM-850 follows Pioneer's traditional mixer layout, featuring a variety of advanced sound effects that provide DJs with virtually limitless possibilities when mixing their music. Pioneer includes a new BEAT COLOR FX function which changes effects by linking the input sound from each channel.

SOUND COLOR FX:

The SOUND COLOR FX offers four types of effects (Filter, Crush, Noise and Gate) that can be linked to the input sound of each channel.

BEAT COLOR FX:

Users can quickly change between the new BEAT COLOR FX and SOUND COLOR FX to suit each tune for further remixing and sound capabilities. With the industry's first(*3) BEAT COLOR FX activated, users can manipulate the SOUND COLOR FX in new creative ways to the beat of the music.

BEAT EFFECT

The BEAT EFFECT function presents 13 different types of effects (Delay, Echo, Up Echo , Spiral Reverb, Trans, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Robot, Slip Roll, Roll and Reverse Roll) that can be combined to produce up to 100 other original effects.

*3 As a hardware DJ mixer. Current as of February 23, 2012, based on Pioneer research.

High sound quality

The use of high quality components such as a 32-bit digital-to-analog output converter and a 32-bit digital signal processor, separate analog and digital circuitry, and extremely short audio transmission paths results in clear and powerful audio output.

TRAKTOR SCRATCH 2 Certified

Simple connection to Scratch Control (DVS)(*4) with TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2/DUO 2(*5)

Connect the DJM-850 to a PC to Scratch Control (DVS) with CDJ player and Vinyl using timecode disc bundled in TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2/DUO 2.

*4 SCRATCH CONTROL with DJM-850 is planned to be available from the next TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2/DUO 2 version.

*5 TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2/DUO 2 is Native Instruments DJ software.

Additional Features

The DJM-850 is equipped with additional features that add to the versatility of the mixer:

MIDI Signal - Operation information of the mixer's knobs and buttons can be transmitted as a MIDI signal for a "Full Ensemble MIDI" function to control other connected devices.

Switching 3 - Band EQ/Isolator - Each channel of the mixer is equipped with a switchable 3-band EQ (+6dB to -26dB) and 3-band isolator (+6dB to -∞dB)

High Performance Channel Faders - The slide mechanism supports the fader knobs with two metal shafts for both durability and smooth operation.

Furthermore, the new mechanism's design minimizes the negative effects of moisture or dust particles on the mixer's performance.

P-LOCK Fader Cap - Keeps the fader channel and crossfader knobs (caps) locked, preventing them from physically slipping off during heavy use.

Scratch Control -Scratch Control(*6) is possible by using the time code disk attached to DJ software supporting DVS (Digital Vinyl System) from CDJ players and vinyl turntables.

Auto Standby - Automatically senses inactive operation and the presence of input signals, switching to standby mode when inputs are not detected for a long period of time.

*6 Serato's SCRATCH LIVETM is not supported.

So if the 900 apparently the new 800, what the shit is this?

Why not just stick with 900's?

or just name it the 800 mk2 to make the numbers less freaking confusing than they already are.

Like the djm 250, I don't get it's numbers, it's better than the 400 in some ways, but not as good in others :S

yer i cant keep up anymore lol good idea to integrate traktor tho, wish they made it so it was switchable with serato/traktor so many more clubs would buy them!

Your asking for convenience. That would be too practical, for two competing companies to work together on a soundcard.

Would be nice, but won't happen

Could have 2 separate sound cards, doubt they would though

No because of patent and copyright infringement.

And they can't make a copy because rane would have to push an update tp make it wok with serato software.

If it were to happen it would be on rane's terms, not pioneers, as rane has the upper hand if pioneer approach them
