The mixer is intended for rack mount installation, complementing Pioneer's MEP-7000 and SEP-C1 multientertainment!

The ideal companion for the MEP-7000 media player, the DJM-5000 delivers 96kHz/24-bit sound and is also fully MIDI-enabled.

Its built-in sound card for the laptop DJ guarantees quick and convenient PC/Mac connectivity, while three microphone channels together with four mic effects and an Advanced talk over application allow meticulous control over MCs, announcements and vocals.

It also offers a dedicated Master/Zone output facility, enabling one DJ to manage two separate outputs across two different locations.

Adding to its knockout credentials, the DJM-5000 includes a Sound Maximizer function that boosts EQ dynamics to suit play in any environment give MP3s a compelling sound.

96kHz/24-bit unbeatable studio quality digital audio
Borrowing its technology from the DJM-1000, the analogue signal from the media player is digitised at 96kHz/24-bit, so it reaches the digital mixing stage in the best possible state. Mixing is then carried read more out by 32-bit digital signal processing with minimal deterioration of sound quality.

3-way USB audio interface permits direct input from a PC*
There is no excessive wiring, no extra sound card and no nonsense. Since the mixer employs a six-channel (three stereo pair) USB audio interface, it's possible to play music directly from a PC via the USB connection - without the need for an additional external sound card.

* Compatible with Windows and Mac. Three stereo outputs can be assigned under Windows only when used with ASIO compliant software.

Master/Zone output allows one mixer to manage two areas
The DJM-5000 features two independent output systems, enabling separate music to be sent to two different areas. For example, one mixer can be the nerve centre for high-energy dance music on the main dancefloor and also play more chilled beats in the lounge. The microphone output can also be selected to transmit individually, so that announcements, MC or vocal performances can be tailored specifically to each zone.

Check 1,2,3... microphone channels, with advanced MC features, and four mic effects
Three easy-to-use microphone channels are honed for improved performance. Two of the inputs have independent microphone channel systems, and volume and three-band EQ can be controlled separately for each. Channel 1 of the DJ section can also be used for mic input, complete with three-band EQ. For extra adjustment of MCs or vocals, four key mic effects are included: Reverb, Echo+Verb, Octaver and Pitch. In addition, the send/return terminals, which are the same as on the DJM-800, present the possibility for yet more connectivity and effects.

Advanced talk over feature
The DJM-5000 offers two types of talk over, with a knob to adjust the ducking level. The advanced talk over function makes it easier to hear exactly what is being communicated over the microphone without reducing the volume of the music. Normal talk over automatically lowers the level of the music across the full frequency, which means an overall drop in volume. However, with Advanced talk over only the mid-range frequency band is lowered. This allows DJs, MCs and vocalists to proceed smoothly without detracting from the atmosphere that has been built in the room.

Sound Maximizer boosts EQ, in accordance with the environment
The Sound Maximizer makes it easy to optimise the audio to suit the venue. This is done via two rotary knobs: 1) Dynamics, which boosts the low range for a richer, stronger sound, and 2) Clarity, which improves the general sense of separation and emphasises the mid-high range for a crisper, clearer sound, even at lower volumes.

Fully Assignable USB-MIDI function for connectivity and software control
61 different knobs and buttons on the DJM-5000 can transmit control data via MIDI signal over a single USB connection with your PC to any MIDI-mapable DJ software. As such, the mixer can also be used as a MIDI controller to advance flexibility and control.

- Peak Level Meter: Each channel features an LED meter for speedy monitoring.

- Three-Band EQ: High, Mid, Low equaliser on each channel (-26dB to +6dB).

No desire to look for anything new. In fact, if it were stolen I would buy another just like it. I doubt that it will break.

Sound
The sound quality is top notch. It's transparent and adds no noise. With all of the settings for input levels, trim controls, etc you can use it for any music source with no problem. I usually use it with a computer, 2 cd players and 2 microphones. The built in processor is great for making a lower quality music source like an ipod sound acceptable. I use the "ducker" every gig. I don't use the mic sound effects, and I haven't made use of the zone feature yet, but will when I run two seperate sound systems.

Features
Everything you need for professional DJ use. The built in interface, allowing your computer to go direct in using a conputer cable is great. It worked perfect with the DJ software I use. Everything feels top quality as far as construction is concerned. If it were stolen, I would buy the exact same model again. I DJ professionaly every weekend.

Ease of Use
Plug it in, hook it up to your equipment and then play around with it for about an hour. That's about all it took for me to figure it out. I'm still finding new features that I didn't notice earlier, but the most important ones were easy to figure out quickly.

Quality
Pioneer has taken over the DJ market for higher end gear. They figured out that read more quality sells. Dennon, the leader a few years back is now second to Pioneer. (Still good though.)

Value
You get what you pay for. I would rather pay $1000 for something really good and reliable than $500 for something mediocre. it's money well spent, and I paid for it in one night of work.

Manufacturer Support
I've never dealt with them on the phone or by email so I can't honestly answer that. The manual is written clearly and in plain English with no weird translation problems.

The Wow Factor
I just love it.

Musical Background:
Professional DJ and musician.

Musical Style:
All.
