Step into the DJ booth with the king of the CD-DJ food chain and command respect. The Pioneer CDJ-2000 plays all major music formats from multiple sources and includes the RekordBox music management software.

The Pioneer CDJ-2000 is the current cream of the CDJ crop, introducing advanced features that build upon 15 years of experience and the CDJ name that Pioneer themselves introduced in 1994. The CDJ-2000 is the indisputable king of the CD-DJ food chain.

Multiple Formats

The CDJ-2000 introduces a wide array of features designed to make the professional DJ's life easier. In addition to audio CDs, the CDJ-2000 can read digital audio files in WAV, MP3, ACC, and AIFF formats from data CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, USB drives and SD cards. Connect multiple CDJ-2000s together with the Pro DJ Link Port and each deck will have access to a USB Drive or SD card connected to the master deck. Up to four decks can be connected in a Pro DJ Link network--perfect for tag-team DJing.

RekordBox Media Management Software

The LCD display on the CDJ-2000 is the largest yet for a CDJ. This pairs perfectly with RekordBox, the sophisticated media management software included on every CDJ-2000. A wealth of track information can be edited and displayed, including BPM and key information, track length, and even album artwork for instant recognition. RekordBox can also be used to assemble and manage playlists of tracks and prepared loops and samples, and a quantizing feature makes it easy to set perfectly beat-matched hot cue points and loops. What this means for the DJ is quicker track selection and more time to focus on keeping the party rockin'.

More Connectivity and Better Sound

The CDJ-2000 features read more advanced MIDI implementation (35 controls can be assigned to DJ software or external MIDI-capable effects modules), and audiophile-grade Wolfson Digital-To-Analog converters deliver the best audio quality yet in a CDJ.

Vinyl Feel Without the Vinyl Noise

CDJ-2000's eliminate all the problems associated with traditional turntables while recreating the tactile experience of scratching on LP platters. At the literal and figurative center of the CDJ's design is its 7.5-inch jog-wheel. With the deck in "Vinyl Mode," DJs can interact with this jog wheel the same way they spin a record. The cut, cue, scratch, nudge, fast-forward and reverse moves are all read with laser-accuracy. The CDJ-2000 even set stops and starts to ramp up or down, and playback can be stopped on a dime by pressing down on the top of the wheel. Finally, the CDJ-2000 introduces the needle Search feature which can be used for quick starts and to simulate needle drops. Just about any move possible on a vinyl turntable can be performed on a CDJ-2000, and in pristine, CD-quality sound. The jog wheel is also resistance-adjustable, so it can be fine-tuned to any player's touch.

Digital Sampling and Looping

The CDJ-2000 features three "Hot Cue" points, each with their own dedicated button, can be used to capture and trigger samples on the fly for one-shot accents or stutter effects. Real-time looping is a breeze, too; loop in- and out-points can be adjusted during playback, and everything can be digitally locked to tempo, an impossibility with analog vinyl decks. Loops and samples can be stored on the included removable SD card.

Pioneer CDJ 2000 Pro CD/MP3 Player

Adapting to today's variety of media formats, the CDJ-2000 enables playback of MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF audio files from CDs and USB memory devices, and from DVDs and SD cards as well on the CDJ-2000. A USB port located on top of the turntable enables users to quickly connect an external storage device such as a Tonium Pacemaker(TM) or a hard drive packed with music files, minimizing the need to bring a laptop computer to performances.

The CDJ-2000 turntable includes rekordbox(TM), Pioneer's proprietary music management software that organizes and catalogs a DJ's entire music library. When music files are imported to rekordbox, the software analyzes each file and prepares them for use specifically with the new CDJ turntable. Key elements of Pioneer's rekordbox software:

Analyze

- Beats Per Minute (BPM) Data - BPM / Tempo information for each song is identified and processed into rekordbox for use by the DJ in preparing and performing a set.

- Waveform Data - The waveform of each song is identified and then displayed on the bottom screen for quick data visualization and for use with the needle search function on the CDJ-2000 turntable.

Customize

- Tag Info & Artwork - Edit and customize the fi le information to performance needs.

- Hot Cues, Cue Points, and Loops - Prepare and customize cues and loops as well as create and manage hot cue banks.

- Playlists - Create, edit and manage customized playlists for various performances.

- Beatgrid - Utilizing the new Quantizing feature, cue points and loops can be set perfectly on-beat. The Quantize feature ensures cue points are set accurately and automatically, correcting and synching beats during manual looping or a real-time cueing, preventing off beat mistakes.

Users can then transfer analyzed music files to their preferred storage media and play them directly from the new CDJ turntable. The software offers song information that can be viewed easily during performances on the CDJ's large display to quickly search and access content by genre, title, BPM, etc. Also, as analyzed tracks are played through the CDJ product, the turntable automatically creates and saves a play history enabling users to review past performances on their PCs.

Pro DJ Link

The new turntable features Pioneer's Pro DJ Link that enables up to four CDJ-2000/900s to be connected via the Link Port to share a single music source, whether it is a hard drive, USB and/or SD memory card. Once linked, users have the ability to quickly find, display and choose the music file from a connected source through the CDJ's built-in display and control knobs. A quick turn of the knob lets users scroll through created files and folders and a push of the knob confirms the song choice.

Advanced Connectivity

The new turntable feature a 24-bit/48 kHz sound card and HID and MIDI control compatibility via USB port. Up to 35 controls on the surface of the player can be used to trigger other devices, such as DJ effecters and software by way of HID and/or MIDI. The HID controls were implemented into the player for superior interfacing with software, faster communication speed over MIDI, audio/visual streaming and two-way information on the display. HID enables easy, precise and native control of DVS systems such as Serato(TM) Scratch Live, Native Instruments' Traktor series and MixVibes Cross2 without the need for time-coded discs.

CDJ-2000 Enhancements

- LCD panel and Graphic User Interface - The flagship CDJ-2000 features a large WQVGA 6.1-inch full-color 480 x 234 LCD panel for displaying song titles and jacket art as well as detailed track information so DJs can select songs at a glance. The wave data of each song is also illustrated on screen, showing high and low amplitude to further assist DJs.

- Needle Search - Helps DJs instantaneously get to a specific part of a song with a simple touch of the Needle Search pad. Found directly below the CDJ-2000's high resolution LCD panel, the touchpad lets the DJ "place the needle" and jump quickly to a specific part of a music track.

- Jog Dial - Adjustments for tension were enhanced from previous models allowing the DJ to further customize the feel of the jog dial from a light to heavy sensitivity. Four illuminated areas on the sides of the Jog Dial aid the DJ in finding the desired spot on the plate in dim lighting environments.

The Extras

For more accurate tempo control while mixing, the CDJ-2000 is enhanced with increased frame increments of 0.5 frames that allow the DJ to set a cue point or loop point with more precision.

To achieve the highest sound quality, the CDJ-2000 was equipped with the audio industry's highly respected Wolfson DAC processor, delivering a very transparent, accurate audio signal resulting in a highly improved signal-tonoise ratio and increased headroom.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'm kind of old to begin investing in DJing so I knew if I was going to spend, I would not want to re-spend and would want something to last me a good while. If mine were lost or stolen.. I would replace it with another one. I recommend anyone who invests in this caliber of equipment have it insured. It takes the edge off of worrying about anything happening to it & it puts a replacement plan in place.
Sound
It's the best in the industry.. the standard for clubs & DJs playing EDM.
Features
Multi-format playback is very useful giving teh ability to play MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF files from CD,DVD-ROM, SD card and best of all from USB memory devices. Rekord box software is great for large collections of music. You can connect multiple CDJ2000s to one music source thru the ProDJ Link. The display is incredible especially when linked to your rekordbox library.. You can see the album art, any comments you've loaded along with any other metadata on the file. The needle search is slick too.
Ease of Use
Very easy. But read the manual to get the most out of it.
Quality
Very confident regarding the Quality of Pioneer products.
Value
As the standard, the price is fair.
Manufacturer Support
I have not
The Wow Factor
There's a few reasons the CD-J 2000 was at the top of my list from an "appeal" stance... besides knowing it is the standard, and what is most likely to be at any club I dj... if you look over the shoulder of any world class DJ in a photo, you will most likely see the CDJ-2000!!
