Pioneer DJ DJM-A9 4-Channel Digital Pro-DJ Mixer with Bluetooth (Black) + Magma Mixer-Case DJM-V10/DJM-A9
FOUR CHANNELS, EXPONENTIAL CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES
Ideas surrounding DJs, music making, performance, and showmanship have gradually blurred throughout the new millennium. This haze has led us to a complicated catch-22, wherein there’s more room than ever for newcomers, but it’s become increasingly difficult to stand out. Fortunately, Pioneer DJ has crafted a masterclass in DJ-based performance that expertly blends basic needs with innovative new tools and flexible connectivity options: the DJM-A9. This 4-channel DJ mixer features a suite of diverse tools tailored to accommodate a slew of distinctive DJ approaches and take the craft into new territory with the convenience of its comprehensive design. Whether it’s the dedicated FX lanes for both beat and sound color, the innovative interactivity of the X-Pad, or the multilayered connectivity that allows for the simultaneous use of two concurrent devices, DJs with us agree that the DJM-A9 is a masterful step forward.
It would be a criminal understatement to merely call this a diverse mixer. Its comprehensive suite of connectivity options allows for unparalleled control and dynamism in your performances — solo or back-to-back. Two sets of USB-B and USB-C ports let you simultaneously connect two separate devices, regardless of their respective operating systems. An included antenna makes Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connections a breeze. Each channel can toggle its inputs, including Bluetooth, digital coaxial, line, phono, return, and three different USB choices. To ensure premium sound quality, the DJM-A9 is engineered with ESS Technologies’ 32-bit A/D converter, with the master and booth outputs each utilizing a high-fidelity, 32-bit D/A converter.
Those familiar with the previous DJM-900NXS will notice that the DJM-A9 features a larger overall footprint. Not only does this create a more fluid workflow with an improved ergonomic arrangement, but it also ensures the A9 is seamlessly compatible with the CDJ-3000. From nightclubs to a night at home spent streaming, the DJM-A9 features an arsenal of performance, recording, and A/V management tools. The A9 supports use with rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro, including the DVS features for those who prefer analog tactility. Touring DJs will appreciate the compatibility with Pioneer’s Stagehand app: a pro DJ LINK app to be used by front-of-house teams for audio management. Streamers will enjoy native connectivity with the DJM-REC app for quickly sharing high-quality streams in real-time via Mixcloud, Twitch, and more.
