Pioneer DJ DJM-A9 review: the club standard redefined | Beatsource Tech 

Facts

The kids love it and I mess with them with it

Hahahha

Its mint isn’t it lol

🐐 I love goat. Goats make the best cheese. 🐐 🐐

I came so close to calling it the 'Rob Alahn mic echo', haha

and I thought it was just me.

Hoping the sound is really comparable to the V10.

idk it's not really that much cheaper IMO, also a pirce increase from the 900nx2, sure the v10 got all the bells & whistles but how does the sound compared to the hi end rotary mixers?

My thoughts exactly

Ewwwwww!!!!!

WOAH that's nasty, haha

And then everyone clapped

same for me! the Xone96 still wins

Same. Best upgrade away from Pioneer I’ve made yet.

I never actually made it to The End (even as a punter) and that's one of the biggest regrets of my clubbing life.

Big up @Billy

Dubai is definitely a party city. Lots of alcohol, captagon and prostitutes. If you have money there are almost no limits. 🌈

Yo Eskei, was this CFA and CFB thing also possible on the 900 NXS2? So the echo tails out when moving the crossfader to the other side?

@@DJOldeMusic you have to set it to CFA or B to have Post Fader effects. Otherwise it will be cut

I have just ordered the a9, I have the 6000 players and X1850, but not impressed with the sound quality from the mixer, love the players though, looking forward to hooking up the a9 to them

There's no chance that two state of the art DAC chips are producing noticeably different sound in this day and age. It's the DSP coding, analog circuitry, PSUs, etc, you're hearing if there's a difference. 20 years ago you could make an argument there were slight differences between budget Wolfson and budget Burr Brown DACs due to tradeoffs, but not now. This is marketing mumbo jumbo like 64bit float vs 32bit float, where you'd have to drill down to differences well below -120dB right near the zero crossings to see a change in the calculations' output, or high/narrow Q filters' subtle performance differences. Heck, no one is capable of saying which filter 'sounds' better or worse. The MP2015 and X1700 are both 32bit 'single precision' float and still blow the socks off any Pioneer. Not DAC brand, not DSP digital domain specs. You could do most of the same sound for most of these mixers, in fact, using just 16/44.1 processing, and might even get superior sound with less sample rate conversion of 44.1 files and no need to add dithering noise... just have to watch your levels in the mix bus and effect sections which you have to do anyway for the outputs. The DSP domain is dictated simply by the chips and accompanying code library you're using. And that's not even getting into the arguments on just doing custom fixed point. Fact is, ESS has less chip shortages right now than AKM, so they went from using ESS on the Tour line as a gimmick to largely moving to ESS out of supply line necessity. Any home user streaming or club with a large sound system that's using the analog outs from the digital DJ media players or digital DJ mixers to the processors needs their head examined, anyway.

@@Reticuli Well my friend, no point in serving steaks on paper plates…if you get my drift. I guess they would have to be heard but knowing ESS and AKM in other implementations, my hunch could be right.

Yeah, gate was probably my favourite effect to use in the mix.

@@BeardslapRadio See, I did think there would be some of you out there! ;)

Agreed. But, if you are in the market for a new mixer, coming from a budget one, or just finally decided you want a proper full setup, I would say the A9 is a substantially better mixer to choose over the NX2. The sound quality for one, but also some (indeed) minor upgrades that do seem to make this an overall better mixer. Great review as always Mojaxxxxx!

They should have added the v10’s send effects plus isolator. I like the v10, but 6 channels is just overkill for me, hoped they would make a 4 channel v10, but we get this instead, bit of a let down to be honest.

You got some right but there are some Big Updates for Clubs/Festivals that really matters - Stagehand app is great tool for audio engineers/stage managers. There are DJ's that if you even say "No Redlining".. they will do. You can turn their gains down and they will turn them back up - right now they would even know :D I Would say that there is big improvement in Technical side but not so big in performance side.

The sound quality alone will make a big difference. It's hard to endure the NXS2 sound once you've used the V10.

Still using the djm2000. i'll probably keep using it untill it breaks down 😂

@@johanvanboven7582 amazing mixer, worst day of my life when mine got stolen

@@lucasmaia8315pff stolen thats though. Did they break into your home?

Rental client stole it :( Quite typical here in Brazil unfortunately.

I still use mine at home. My favorite mixer. The best!

why wouldn't it?

@ORCA ONE definetely but as i saw at the review the a9 is better in sound quality than the nexus and reminds sound quality of v10..if the difference will not be so noticeable im thinking of jumping from px5 to a9.... Or not? 🙄🤯
