Pioneer DJ Introduces the DJM-A9 - A Next-Generation Professional DJ Mixer



The DJM-A9 by Pioneer DJ is a momentous upgrade from the DJM-900NXS2 with an in-built ESS Technology A/D converter, slicker channel faders and crossfader, dual sets of USB Type-B and Type-C ports, built in WiFi connectivity, and much more.


AlphaTheta Corporation announced the release of the DJM-A9 next-generation professional DJ mixer from its Pioneer DJ brand. The 4-channel unit raises the bar for club standard mixers - boasting huge upgrades compared to its predecessor, the DJM-900NXS2 - with clear sound quality, enhanced playability and connectivity, and a host of new features to help the user take his/her performances to the next level.

An ESS Technology 32-bit high-quality A/D converter is built into the channel input section and D/A converters of the same type are featured in the master and booth output sections to produce crystal-clear, natural-sounding audio on the dancefloor and in the booth for any genre of music. The sound from the microphone input and headphone outputs has also been enhanced through fine-tuning and improved construction with carefully selected new components.

The DJM-A9 has also received major upgrades to the way it feels. Various elements have been tweaked to make the DJ mixer more instinctive and comfortable to play on, including increased spacing around the EQ knobs. The channel faders and the MAGVEL FADER crossfader are slicker than those on the DJM-900NXS2, enabling the user to mix and scratch more smoothly. The Sound Color FX include the world's first Center Lock feature, which the user can turn on to ensure he/she doesn't accidentally cross over between the hi/low parameters, no matter how quickly he/she turns the knob.

Beat FX are more instinctive to use on the DJM-A9 thanks to the new color display and revamped X-Pad, which is now arranged horizontally for simple, sideways finger sliding. The Beat FX channel selector is now a dedicated button, enabling quicker effect routing, and the Multi I/O section has been upgraded to offer true send capabilities. In total, there are 14 Beat FX to play with, including 3 new ones.

An enhanced microphone section brings new possibilities when streaming or MCing. The user can connect a condenser mic directly to the DJM-A9 for the best possible vocal sound quality thanks to the phantom power supply to the mic input, which is an industry-first feature on a DJ mixer. To dynamically change the sound of the voice, there are 3 different mic effects plus a dedicated reverb to play with.

Changing DJs or playing back-to-back is easy on the DJM-A9 thanks to the dual sets of USB Type-B and Type-C ports, which enables the user to connect two PCs/Macs running either rekordbox or Serato DJ Pro. And the mixer's expanded connectivity opens up new possibilities for the performances. If the user wants to play tracks from a mobile device, Bluetooth®/MD input makes it easy on the DJM-A9. The audio can be routed to any channel and the user can use all the mixer's effects to change the sound.

The Wi-Fi connectivity built in to the DJM-A9 is useful for front of house teams, who can use the new Stagehand app to remotely monitor various information from the mixer, and even control selected functions, via an iPad that's wirelessly connected to the same LAN router as the decks. By keeping an eye on things such as level meters and track information, engineers can adjust sound system settings and troubleshoot without entering the booth or disturbing the DJ.

Other Features

Support for rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro

The DJM-A9 includes support for the DVS features in both rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro.

DJM-REC app support for reliable recording

The user can now easily record his/her performances with DJM-REC for iOS/Android. This handy app enables him/her to share the mixes via platforms such as Mixcloud and stream in real time via services including Twitch.

Lockable power cord

The lockable power cord on the DJM-A9 will always stay firmly in place, even if the user knocks it while connecting or disconnecting other equipment from the mixer.

Video and lighting app support

With support for TC Supply's ShowKontrol and the free app PRO DJ LINK Bridge, DJs, event producers, lighting designers, LJs, video creators, and VJs can seamlessly produce sound and visual coordination.
