Pioneer DJ DJM-A9 4-Channel Professional DJ Mixer
The 4-channel Pioneer DJ DJM-A9 raises the bar for club standard mixers. It boasts huge upgrades compared to its predecessor, the DJM-900NXS2. It has stunningly clear sound quality, enhanced playability and connectivity. Also, it has a host of new features to help you take your performances to the next level.
The DJM-A9 has also been improved as a musical instrument for more emotional and dynamic performances. However, it retains the functions and layout that have become club standards.
Stunning Clear Sound Quality
The next-generation club sound of the Pioneer DJ DJM-A9 comes from extensive development. Afterwards, fine-tuning of existing technology from previous units, plus brand-new components completes this mixer.
The channel input section is equipped with an ESS Technology 32-bit high-quality A/D converter for crystal-clear, high-resolution sound. Also, the master and booth output sections employ 32-bit high-quality D/A converters. That way you can experience sound from the booth monitors that’s the same as the crowd hears.
Even the sound quality of the microphone input and headphone outputs has been improved. It’s been done so with carefully selected new parts and design optimisation.
DJM-A9’s Evolved Playability
Increased spacing around the EQ knobs gives you room to twist your fingers. Also, high-grade LEDs in the channel section make it easy to get a visual grasp of sound levels. You can perform more dynamically than ever thanks to the frequency response of the isolators. They have been optimised to make the most of the latest music production traits.
Enjoy silk-smooth mixing and rapid, stable scratching with the third-generation MAGVEL FADER crossfader.
Sound Color FX with World’s First Center Lock Knob
Use the Center Lock feature when you’re using the popular Sound Color FX. Specifically, each knob will stop turning when you reach the centre position. Twist the knob as quickly as you like, taking the effect right up to the maximum. Whether it be the high, or down to the minimum of the low parameter.
Do so without the risk of going too far and switching to the opposite parameter. When you turn the Center Lock off, the Sound Color FX knobs work in the same way as those on the DJM-900NXS2.
Newly Advanced Beat FX
A new colour display on the DJM-A9 helps you to quickly and accurately understand the status of the selected effect. Furthermore, 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. Also, within the 14 total Beat FX, there are 3 new ones (Mobius, Triplet Filter, and Triplet Roll). You can use them to add extra variation to your performances. Even better, the channel selector is now a dedicated button, quickly apply effects to your chosen channel.
Enhanced Mic Section
The phantom-powered input on the DJM-A9 means you can connect a high-quality condenser mic directly to the DJM-A9. There are 3 new microphone effects (Echo, Pitch, Megaphone) with a dedicated reverb effect. Therefore, you can change the sound of your voice and hype up the crowd.
It’s quick and easy to turn the mic input on or off with the brand-new Push To Talk button. The audio from the mic can be excluded from the recording output. You can MC for the live crowd but record your mix without vocals.
DJM-A9’s 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, thanks to 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. Use external effects separately from Beat FX, giving the DJM-A9 true send capabilities. This means you can route the affected 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, 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.
