![]() Whether artists who have already been plied by the Xone:96 and Model 1 will give this a shot remains to be seen, but it certainly looks like Pioneer DJ has been studying and taking notes. It’s also a bold move by the segment’s market leader to go after a more demanding breed of DJs. It’s a specific product by Pioneer DJ that caters to a specific crowd interested in building complex, layered sets using multiple audio sources. There’s loads more to pick apart but on paper, this is an extremely robust 6-channel club mixer that isn’t for the average jockey mixing between two songs. In addition, there’s a new shimmer effect (shimmer is a type of reverb made by layering a reverb tail that’s pitched up on top of an original dry signal), a three-band EQ for the master output, and for the particularly picky, an additional EQ to adjust the audio that comes through booth monitors (also seen in the Xone:96 and Model 1). The DJM-V10 is an extremely robust mixer that isn’t for the average jockey It now allows you to switch between a high or low pass filter, and then apply resonance control to add additional nuance or intensity. The filter function also got a major upgrade. Not only does this apply to traditional hardware pieces, but selected smartphone apps by connecting your device with MULTI I/O. (Pioneer DJ says the compressor will have “minimal effect on mastered music.”)Įqually exciting is the expanded send/return section on the DJM-V10, so you can route audio to one of four built-in FX and up to two pieces of external equipment, like synths, guitar pedals, or sequencers. Notably, each channel now has a four-band EQ instead of the usual three, along with a compressor for beefing up older or unfinished tracks. There’s a laundry list of new features with a few highlights. Pioneer DJ’s DJM-V10 is the company’s response to these genres’ desires for a more hands-on mixer that can layer and sculpt sound. They have extra channels, MIDI I/O for talking with connected gear, and other ways to affect tracks directly on the mixer itself (in the Model 1’s case, there’s an “overdrive” option on every channel). These mixers have features to specifically appeal to DJs in these genres, and their more intricate setups. This is where the Allen & Heath Xone:96 and Model 1 have carved a niche. These artists have a penchant for incorporating more live gear bringing their own effects boxes and drum machines to gigs in order to tweak, transform, and stack audio in myriads of ways. THE DJM-V10 is a drastic form and function departure for Pioneer DJīut over the past few years, competing mixers have tapped into a specific sub-market Pioneer DJ didn’t have a product for: techno and tech house DJs. It’s what most people are used to playing on, and so, most clubs carry it. ![]() Chances are, when an artist submits their rider to a club, there’s going to be Pioneer DJ equipment listed. It has thusly defined, to a degree, how people DJ. Here’s the thing: Pioneer DJ owns the majority of the professional club DJ market. ![]() But, the DJM-V10 isn’t a simple update it’s a drastic form and function departure from Pioneer DJ’s established line of club mixers. While some excitement over Pioneer DJ rumors is to be expected, it’s rare to have this much hyped-up chatter in advance of a new product from the company. The release confirms circulating rumors about the mixer, which have been repeatedly popping up on Facebook and Reddit over the past 24 hours. Called the DJM-V10, it sports six channels (in comparison to the usual four), dual headphone jacks to seamlessly play back-to-back with other DJs, and the ability to EQ the master output. Pioneer DJ has announced a new professional gig mixer for gear-heads that want more control over how mixes and tracks sound while performing.
