Pioneer CDJ200 |
The Pioneer CDJ-200 is an entry-level CD turntable, combining the
key elements of Pioneer's professional digital CD decks with a host of
innovative features including full-function MP3 playback, hot loop, beat
loop and the unique one button loop cutter, for creating loops within
loops until the beat has been cut to infinity. This technical excellence
is complemented by a design that's both visually stunning and supremely
practical. The unit is robust, compact and portable, not to mention
truly affordable, making it the ideal choice for serious home DJs, bars
and other installations where space (and budget) is limited.
Since the CDJ-200 is MP3 compatible, aspiring DJs can now include the
very latest downloaded tracks in their sets, without having to convert
the audio from other formats. The MP3 functionality also allows DJs to
locate tracks more quickly (via folder search) and to see the name of
the disc, artist and song on the unit's bright dot-matrix display
window. This screen also has a bar graph showing the elapsed and
remaining playing time of a track, plus an Auto BPM Counter, giving DJs
the real-time information they need to create better mixes more quickly.
The unit has a tempo read-out as well as a separate Master Tempo button
with three settings for locking the pitch of a track as it's sped up or
slowed down.
The unit uses an electric-blue light at strategic locations to give the
DJ constant feedback about the status of the CD and the effects in use.
The light above the CD-slot, for example, shows that there's no disc
onboard and also guides the DJ to the user-friendly quick-load slot.
With the disc inserted, that light goes off and a blue illuminated ring
appears around the edge of the jog wheel - indicating that a CD is
loaded and ready for playback.
An established highlight of Pioneer's Pro DJ CDJ players, the jog wheel
can be used to speed up or slow down the music; to fine-tune cue points
manually; or to control the mix with the help of another proven feature,
the digital jog break. This has three effect buttons (jet, zip, wah) for
creating original sounds as the DJ manipulates the jog wheel. When the
digital jog break is on, the blue ring flashes quickly. Once the
HOLD/RESET button is used, the flashing slows down. With the effects
off, the continuous blue light returns.
The CDJ-200 also has a unique "resume" function that takes effect if a
CD is ejected accidentally. Once the DJ re-inserts the disc, it
automatically starts playing from exactly the point where it stopped.
The unit has a digital out socket so that all of the digital features
available in DJ Mode can be carried over to a connected digital
environment. The headphone jack with volume control allows the DJ to
monitor a CD without connecting the CDJ-200 to a mixer or external
amplifier.
