Pioneer announce two brand new products that will make up the perfect party set-up. The DJM-350 and CDJ-350 bring features found on Pioneer’s ultimate club products, such as powerful creative effects, remix-style looping and rekordbox™ compatibility.

Offering something completely new and unique at this price point, the DJM-350 enables the DJ to capture every last nuance of their performance to high quality recording on USB. There’s no need for extra kit or wires, it all works inside the box. Simply plug in a USB memory device into the mixer and you’re able to record professional uncompressed audio into WAV format.

This could be anything from a carefully crafted mix, or for recording vinyl, ready to be played back digitally on the CDJ-350. And the coolest feature has got to be the ability to split the recording as you mix by hitting the ‘Track Mark’ button providing beautifully indexed mixes ready for burning to CD without needing to make a single edit.

Drag and drop the files into Pioneer’s new rekordbox™ music management software, and all your music will be automatically primed with beatgrids to take advantage of the CDJ-350’s beat-keeping tools.

Being a top performer is often down to serious preparation and the new CDJ-350 comes to life when a DJ plugs in their carefully prepared rekordbox™ digital music library. In fact, the CDJ-350 is the perfect stepping stone for DJs looking to break the club circuit as all the work put into preparing a killer music library and playlists will all work on the industry standard CDJ-900 and CDJ-2000 digital decks. If you’re ready to rock the party on the CDJ-350s, you’ll be one step ahead of the rest when it comes to playing in the clubs.

Music enthusiasts and DJs making their way to the top will be glad to find a USB connection on the CDJ-350 allowing MIDI controller functionality with compatible DJ software or for use as an audio interface.

Pioneer manage to push the boundaries on the DJM-350 which features four subtle yet powerful effects that help the DJ build energy into the music without overpowering the mix. All of this accessed from a single two-directional dial.

Twist the Gate effect to the left to tighten up the high frequency of the track, and to the right to tighten up the bass. You’ll also find filters combined with Bitcrushers, and a manual Jet effect that puts the DJ in direct control of this well loved effect for the first time. And to top it all off it has a gorgeous sounding high and low-pass filter, just like the DJM-800.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE CDJ-350:

Compatible with Various Media and Music Formats

The CDJ-350 is compatible with various music formats such as MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF. All can be played either via a USB device or from CD-R discs. It also plays regular music CDs, so you can enjoy DJing with all major media and music formats.

Includes Music Management Software rekordbox™

The music management software rekordbox™ that comes with the CDJ-350 analyzes the BPM and beat position of songs from your computer, allowing music to be categorized by genre and facilitating the creation of playlists. When the music analyzed by rekordbox™ is transferred to a USB device and then connected to the CDJ-350, it enables the song to be selected by genre, album or artist – making for fun and easy DJing.

BEAT Display Function enhances Scratch and Looping Performance

The CDJ-350 comes equipped with the BEAT Display function, which shows the beat position of a song and the playback point. This lets the user check the beat both by sound and vision, giving a feel of ‘hand/eye/ear coordination’ to aid practice and performance of tricks such as scratching and looping.

Auto Beat Loop Function

With one press of the button, the DJ can enjoy all kinds of loop performances.

• Beat Loop: Matches the beat and repeats a 4-beat loop.
• Loop Divide: While playing a loop, plays the loop at a different rhythm.
• Hot Loop: While playing a loop, returns to the start of the loop and plays it.
Auto BPM Lock Matches the Tempo with One Push of a Button
With just the push of a button, it matches the song that is playing to the preset master BPM. A beginner can easily match the tempos of two songs and enjoy real BPM mixing.

Create Playlist Function Allows the Immediate Registering of a Track

While playing music, all it takes is the press of a button to transfer a desired song to a playlist.

Connects to a Computer Allowing Use as a DJ Software Controller

Connecting the CDJ-350 via USB to a computer allows it to be controlled by MIDI compatible DJ software, as well as using the music files on the computer to enjoy DJing. It can also be used as an audio interface.

Other Features

• Excellent vibration-resistance thanks to its Shock-Proof Memory and Floating Architecture.
• Four levels of settings can be made for the maximum variation range of a song’s tempo—±6%, ±10%, ±16% and WIDE (audio CDs only for WIDE mode)
• Thanks to the Resume function, when a disc is removed and later reloaded, it returns to the previous point.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE DJM-350:-

Capable of Recording Directly to USB Devices

Users can record their own DJ mix directly to a USB storage device without having to use a computer or recording device. As recorded DJ mixes are saved in the WAV file format, they can be imported and listened to on a PC or portable audio player.

Four Kinds of Effects Allow for Intuitive Remixing

The DJM-350 comes equipped with four kinds of effects—Filter, Crush, Jet and Gate. The intuitive controls allow sounds to be altered so original arrangements can be added to songs and users can enjoy DJing with all kinds of remixes.

Isolator Equalizer on Each Channel

The DJM-350 has a built-in 3-band equalizer (Isolator type) that allows a broad range of level control, from +9dB to -? (cut) in each of the HI, MID & LOW ranges. Each band can be controlled independently.

Digital System Means Clear Sound

The analogue signal is converted to digital via the shortest of circuits. The analogue and digital circuit are isolated from each other, and all signal processing is performed by a high-performance CPU that minimizes noise. The DJM-350 inherits the high fidelity design of the DJM series so users can enjoy DJ mixing with a clean, clear sound.

Other Features

I just moved up to the JBL PRX718s sub-woofer system.
SPECIFICATIONS AT A GLANCE
Built-In Crown 700 watt (RMS) amplifier
With its Duraflex finish and foam-backed grill, its beautiful and portable at only 74 pounds.
The PRX718s employs a JBL 2268FF 18″ Differential Drive woofer, the same used in more expensive JBL passive systems.
Frequency Range (-10 db) is 33 hz to 160 hz.
Frequency Response (-3 db) is 37 hz to 130 hz.
Crossover frequency is 120 hz.

Holy crap on a stick, Batman!
Stop the presses, I’m really impressed by this product. The last time I was this jazzed by a sub-woofer of any type was the Velodyne UL-18 (another sub-woofer from 25 years ago).

In the past 20 years we’ve owned this home– I could not even get a typical 18″ pro audio sub up the two flights of narrow (30″ wide) stairs leading from my basement to the upstairs home theater setup, but we really wanted to see “This Is It” (MJ’s swan song) with a super subwoofer!

The JBL PRX 718s cabinet is only 21″ wide, and is super easy to pick up and carry with its two ergonomic handles. Once I positioned the sub behind the couch, I then proceeded to bring the PRX 512m stage monitors upstairs, using them for the mains. This turned out to be a great match, they fit perfectly on our existing speaker stands.

Note also that the Eon 518s sub is TOO WIDE and not possible to carry like the 718s, which is 10 pounds heavier.
I wanted to run an A-B comparison upstairs, but from the moment I hooked up the new box, it was readily apparent that there would be no need to compare the two (more on that later).

Our surround sound amplifier is a Yamaha DSP (Dolby 2.0) putting 50 wpc into the rear channels. Its old but it still works great.
The system included a Blu-Ray player, which we also used to play CDs. I used some XLR to RCA adapter plugs that were laying around. Talk about over-kill, it was like putting a jet engine on a wright brothers plane.

From the instant we hooked this system up, we knew its days as home theater use were numbered, but with a couple of weeks between events, we could spend the extra time breaking these boxes in! On a concrete floor it was easier to set the gain, but in our very wood coated room (both ceiling and floors), the system had to be dialed down. Our original front end (for the last 25 years) was two Vandersteen 2ci speakers (10″ 3-way), powered by a 200 watt amplifier. We now were running 1,700 watts with an incredible
amount of dynamic range with an increase of an entire octave of bass!

Wow, it was great to see what MJ’s concert would have been like, and we got to experience it as close as possible to the original sound.

The 718s was reproducing every note of the bass lines, the kick drums, there is an immediacy of attack not apparent with other 18″ powered subs. Usually, you get a sort of delay, perhaps some kind of rumbling from transients, not with this box! Its painfully accurate, not thumping to excess like other 18′s. Hearing that lower end extension down to 33 hz, makes for part of the difference, but its also the upper bass (near the crossover point) that shines as well.

However, the PRX718s has an internal crossover network (120 hz) that does a fantastic job of making the seamless transition for the main speakers. That same crossover unit has a selectable switch that allows you to run the outputs to a second PRX718s cabinet.

Note also that the 512m stage monitors have their best response between 100 hz and 20k, so its giving them a chance to shine without having to bother with low frequencies.

The new sub experienced no delay or off-axis weirdness, like I notice with the Eon Sub at times. Less need to use the polarity switch, but its there if you need one I guess.

After a couple days of rigorous testing in our home theater upstairs, and watching various Blu-Ray and DVD movies, playing CDs of our favorite artists, the conclusion: When it comes time to replace our Home Theater audio system, this is going to be the subwoofer/satellite system that replaces it, but in the interest of marital harmony– the new PRX Series speakers had to say good-bye and the Vandersteen speakers returned to their stands.

The PRX718s now resides in my basement testing grounds– where its spending about 5-6 hours of daily break-in use…..Here’s the results so far:

With the PRX-512m speakers as the mains, its incredible how much bass energy can be transmitted with just one sub-woofer. I cannot image what it would sound like with TWO sub-woofers. Maybe if there were 300 persons in the room, and you wanted to balance the bass on both sides of the dance floor in a night club. But for my purposes as a mobile wedding DJ, doing a typical wedding reception for up to 250 persons, I should be OK with just ONE of these (although I will always want another one).

Even on a concrete floor, the new sub has a very steady response from every angle. Even though the most energy comes out of the front of the box, the off-axis response is very clear and distinct. I’m up on the 3rd floor of my home typing this review, and I can hear every bass note of every song being played. This cabinet has a tendency to be heard thru walls, which may be a problem at multi-use facilities with paper thin walls.

OK, let’s recap the TOP TEN REASONS TO BUY JBL PRX718s SUB-WOOFER:

1) Extremely portable (for an 18″ sub-woofer) and can go up a flight of stairs if necessary!

2) Contains a built-in Crown amplifier with 700 watts RMS and 1400 watts of peak power output.

3) Looks absolutely gorgeous with the lighted JBL/Crown logo on its front grille.

4) Matches perfectly with the JBL PRX512m Stage Monitor as a sub-woofer & satellite system.

5) Can be used for the ultimate Home Audio subwoofer, provided you kill your wife first (I’m just kidding about that one).

6) Is extremely affordable, considering its one of the breakthrough pro audio products of the last 25 years.

7) Should fetch a ridiculously high resale value, based on my past experience with JBL products.

I’m buying a SECOND one of these, as soon as I complete the latter part of #5 (I’m really just kidding guys!)

9) Reproduces audio frequencies at subsonic levels which were previously not possible for a box of this size.

10) They are for sale at AUDIOLINES

TO CONCLUDE THIS RABID RECOMMENDATION:

If you’re a DJ who wants to have a 700 watt 18″ sub-woofer that meets audiophile specifications (33 hz to 140 hz +/- 3 db, .01 THD) and not break your back loading it into the minivan, THIS is the sub-woofer for you!

The JBL PRX-512m is part of the PRX-500 Series of powered loudspeaker systems, of which there are seven models (two subwoofers and five full-range systems). All of these speakers are powered by built-in digital power amps engineered by Crown. In addition to these Crown power amplifiers, these systems contain state-of-the-art DSP (digital sound processing) that control functions like equalization, crossover accuracy, and system control/protection.

One thing that impressed me the most about the PRX-500 Series (including the smallest model, PRX-512m) is that they are NOT made in China — they were designed and engineered in the United States and then manufactured in North America in a very high-tech plant in Mexico. Then it appears they do final inspection, testing, packaging and shipping from their main plant in Northridge, CA….where my brand new PRX-512m’s were shipped from.

Upon removing from the box, I was impressed by the build quality and overall box integrity. They seem to be alot like the MRX and SRX in that regard. Nicely appointed with steel grills that have a lit up JBL & Crown logo. The weight of the PRX-512m is only 40 pounds, which is really light considering what’s inside:

In addition to the high performance and lightweight Crown amps, each PRX-512 utilizes the latest JBL loudspeaker technology. They have neodymium Differential Drive transducers with dual voice coils which are very light in weight, yet they provide high sound pressure levels with minimal harmonic distortion and power compression. When you combine highly engineered enclosures with sophisticated electronics like this, the result is supposed to be the highest performance-to-weight ratio in its class of PA equipment, a truly PORTABLE system that can really deliver the goods!

Back to the goodies: I love the Dura-Flex (TM) finish, as well as the nice build quality of the foam-backed grills. Not crazy about the handle on top, but this is a small cabinet; putting two handles in each side would have compromised the acoustics. With the matching JBL-Logo bag covers (not included), these speakers should survive the long wedding season intact, without any scratches (except on the speaker bottoms, which the bags do not cover).

One particular application for these is using them as main loudspeakers for wedding ceremonies. I could also imagine them being more than sufficient for cocktails, light jazz, and classic rock music.

The JBL PRX-512m features a dual-angle pole socket, which allows for more options in aiming the speakers toward the audience. This is really helpful because as a practical matter, you want neither tops or bottoms of the speaker visible from the listener’s perspective.

The actual components of the PRX-512m are a 12″ (JBL 262F) low frequency driver and a 1.5″ (JBL 2408H) high frequency compression driver. Even though the 512m is the smallest speaker in the PRX-500 Series, it uses the same HF Driver (2408H) as the PRX-515 as well as the PRX-525. Not only that, but the 500 watts of Crown amplification are the same as the PRX-515, both have the same 400 watt LF Crown amp, and the same 100 watt HF Crown.

What’s readily apparent, after some real world testing– these speakers are a clear step above from my previous Eon G2′s, both the 15s and 10′s. There is a sense of wider space, a bigger sound stage if you will. The highs are higher, clearer, more distinct. The midranges are clear, accurate and defined. Guitars and pianos stand out in particular, but other aspects like sibilance of high-hats and cymbals get more definition, that HF extention to 20k must be the reason!

However, this does not mean I think these loudspeakers are perfect. The lower bass is still too thin to operate by themselves in a typical mobile gig that requires playing hip hop or RnB music. Yes they work fine for funerals, ceremonies, cocktail music on a patio. Light rock and light jazz, no problem.

One song in particular, “Right Place Wrong Time” (Dr. John) stood out as a stellar example of why these speakers sound so good when they don’t get a lot of lower bass frequencies. With a true bottom end of 90 hz, these speakers are more like control monitors than full range loudspeakers. When you press the EQ button on the back control panel, the bass comes alive, extending the response down to 76 hz. Songs from the 60′s and early 70′s like this one were made for AM car radios, with little or no bass response.

However, when you play a song that is from the current era, or even a song from 20 years ago with heavy bass (for example, “The Way You Make Me Feel” by MJ), then the lack of lower bass response is more obvious. Both settings sounded thin and weak, with the “Main” setting providing barely adequate lower bass. Highs and mids were stellar though, I heard details lacking when played thru the eons.

On all songs tested, these speakers were able to make very loud sound pressure levels, despite the lack of bass. It is impossible to overdrive the mic (as I was prone to do with the Eon 15′s). Feedback is way less of a problem with the new speakers.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the PRX-512m because they were NOT purchased as a stand-alone Main Loudspeaker but rather, for using in combination with the matching PRX-718s Sub-Woofer. They not only look great, but they demonstrate to my audience that I’m constantly reinvesting in my productions with the latest technology. They’re a huge step up in quality from the Eon series they replaced, and much less worries about system failure with Crown amps!

When used with at least ONE sub, these speakers would provide the typical mobile Disc Jockey or small touring band with the ultimate portable PA loudspeaker system. Did I mention– only 40 pounds apiece? When you consider how much a typical passive amp weighs, its truly amazing what they’ve done with audio components!

Once the new PRX-718s Sub Woofer system arrives, I plan to do a follow-up on these speakers,
Meanwhile, I’ve used them in testing with Eon 518s, and B-52 ACT-18, with excellent results in both cases.

The front panel contains mic input, RCA line input, and both 1/4″ and 1/8″ headphone outputs with volume control.

To complete your system, you can add our LAPTOP STAND to elevate your computer to comfortable height. Our custom 7-INCH COLOR VINYL records enable you to customize the look of V7 with eye-catching, translucent looks.


PRECISION CONTROL
V7 sends control information over USB at more than ten times the standard MIDI rate. This innovative communication technique yields extremely high-precision, low-latency control.

There’s nothing like dropping the needle on a record for quickly locating a point in the track. We took that idea and developed our own modern take on it with Strip Search, the unique virtual-needle-drop touch strip. You can locate a point instantly within the track using the on-screen waveform and Strip Search.

Five hot-cue-assign buttons on each deck digitally mark your cues on the track. These marker points are recallable in ITCH, and you can even load Scratch LIVE cue points in ITCH.

We developed an extensive loop-controls section for creative remix capabilities. You can choose between manual and auto-loop functions and an automatic BPM analyzer further assists loop makers. Creating automatic smart loops of any measure length is a breeze, and you can mutilate and modify to your heart’s content with a variety of controls such as Doubling, Halving, Shift, and manual controls. Multiple loop banks make V7 a great choice for scratch and club DJs alike.

Beat matching is straight ahead with 100mm, smooth, stiff pitch sliders and plus and minus buttons, by popular request, for bending. There’s a zero-point LED, so it’s easy to know when you’re in the middle.


AUDIO QUALITY
We took extraordinary care in selecting the components of the audio signal chain. V7 contains a host of professional audio connectors and a multichannel, 24-bit USB digital-audio interface. It outputs high-resolution, 24-bit audio to the sound system on XLRs and RCAs.

The high-definition post-mix analog audio output features a minimized circuit path with containing only one audiophile-grade bipolar capacitor. This optimized design maximizes phase coherence, ensuring that audio is tight and punchy.


SERATO ITCH SOFTWARE
V7 comes with Serato ITCH. For one-to-one communication, each knob, button, and control on V7 corresponds exactly to that function in the software. Serato ITCH is already familiar if you use Scratch LIVE. ITCH builds on Scratch LIVE and adds some key, new features. ITCH makes timecode a thing of the past, so you won’t need to worry about needles skipping or vinyl wearing out. You can load your Scratch LIVE crates, loops, presets, and cue points seamlessly in ITCH. V7 also works with most other MIDI DJ software and supports iTunes.


With natural vinyl feel, precise control, pristine sound, custom flexibility, advanced performance, and rock solid design, the turntable has evolved. Meet V7.

DYNAMIC DECK

NDX800 has an advanced platter that is touch-sensitive for superb accuracy and smooth control of tracks on discs, flash drives, and software. The big, seven-inch platter is surrounded by an illuminated ring that acts as a position display, just like putting tape on vinyl. The platter’s touch sensitivity is adjustable so you can optimize its performance for the way you like it.

The deck has Auto Cue, Instant Start, and Stutter Start for quickly and easily playing the track the way you like. Track selection is a breeze with a rotary control, and you can play back tracks in single, continuous, program, and shuffle modes. Fader Start enables NDX800 to start playing the track you have cued up when you move the crossfader on a compatible mixer for effortless transitions.


FX FLAVOR

On top of playing all kinds of music media, NDX800 enables you to add flavor to your performances with integrated, beat-synced DSP effects that include chop, echo, filter, flanger, pan, and phaser. Each is completely adjustable and a dedicated wet-dry fader controls them all.


PITCH POWER

NDX800 contains a set of beat and pitch tools that will help you with beat matching and harmonic mixing. Start playing a track and NDX800 automatically analyzes its BPM (tempo), and displays it on screen. There’s also a Tap tempo button for manual BPM entry. You can alter the track’s BPM by ±6, 12, 25, and 100% using the pitch fader. For each of those ranges, you can also engage Key Lock, which holds the pitch of the track while you independently manipulate its BPM. There’s also a set of pitch-bend buttons on each track for quick tweaks and you can adjust pitch in half steps (semitones).

NDX800 gives you a complete range of remixing tools for on-the-fly creativity. NDX800 has an internal sampler with overlay and reverse settings so you can easily grab samples while you work and trigger them on the three sample/hot cue trigger pads whenever you want. NDX800 also has seamless looping on a set of easy-to-understand controls including adjustable loop-out point. Numark’s familiar Bleep/Reverse gives you the ability to keep time moving forward while you cut or reverse the track. Five stutter starts and cue point memory storage round out this powerful deck’s remix capabilities.


VIVID VIEW

NDX800 features a large, backlit display for keeping tabs on the deck even in poorly lit conditions. You can monitor BPM, CD and MP3 text ID3 tags, navigate folders, and keep an eye on effect status on this big, bright screen.
