Pioneer DJ XDJ-1000MK2 and DJM-250Mk2 DJ Equipment Package

Key Features of the DJM-250MK2:

Improved crossfader, channel faders and isolators

The DJM-250MK2 mixer contains the Magvel crossfader which has been inherited from the Pioneer renowned DJM-900NXS2.  The crossfaders are extremely robust, yet in turn provides fluent and precision movements.  Partner this with the new channel faders and 3-band isolators, providing you with maximum control over the high, mid and low tones.

Filter with meaningful control:

The mixer has again inherited a top flight feature from one of the consoles within the Pioneer flagship range, the filter from the DJM-900NXS2.  Using the control knob on each channel lets you apply the filter, in turn, additional adjustments can then be made using the parameter knob e.g. add/modify resonance and/or tension giving you ultimate control.

USB connection:

Thanks to the in-built sound card the 250MK2 mixer can be connected to a PC or Mac via a USB cable.  The connection allows for both sound input and output so recording your mixes couldn’t be easier, and the recordings are saved directly to your hard drive.

Fantastic sound output:

The quality of the technology of the mixer allows for superb, top-notch sound quality output regardless of whether you are playing it from a digital or analogue source.

Rekordbox DJ and Rekordbox DVS licence keys:

You will be pleased to hear that the DJM-250MK2 mixer comes complete with FREE licence keys for both Rekordbox DJ (version 4.3.0 or higher (available from 1st March 2017)) and Rekordbox DVS worth over £190.  As an idea, why not add a digital multiplayer or turntables and control vinyl to use them collectively (each sold separately).

Other features:

There are two headphone outputs (1/4 inch stereo jack and 3.5mm mini-jack) and an XLR terminal which aids in providing the quality sound output.  The Mic section is independent meaning a microphone and AUX can be used simultaneously.  There is also a signal GND terminal installed so ground wires from analogue turntables can be held tightly and attached effortlessly.

MIDI controller interface: Connect the DDJ-SP1 controller with a USB cable for tactile control of numerous features of the XDJ-1000MK2, including Hot Cues, auto loops and Slip Mode. One DDJ-SP1 can control up to four XDJ multiplayers using Pro DJ Link.
