OVERVIEW
The DJM-700 is the latest high-end 4-channel mixer from Pioneer, with similar features as its big brother the DJM-800, plus several new ones to set it apart from the rest. Featuring superior sound quality and functionality and cutting edge effects(including the world's first Effect Frequency Filter) and MIDI connectivity the DJM-700 is definitely designed to set new standards for working DJs in the club, bar or studio.
FEATURES
The DJM-700 inherits the super clean sound quality of its higher priced brothers, the DJM-800 and DJM-1000. This means top of the line 96kHz/24-bit sound with mixing carried out by 32-bit DSP (Digital Signal Processing).
In addition, there is a myriad of top quality effects at your disposal including delay, echo, transform, filter, flanger, phaser, reverb, robot and crush, 13 beat effects, an enhanced roll sampler (makes tempo-specific manipulation of audio samples easily accessible through real-time sampling using 4-Roll effects: roll, reverse roll, pitch up roll and pitch down roll), AND fully assignable MIDI function with 49 assignable controls. This mixer also features the world's first Effect Frequency filter which allows for ultimate high and low pass filter control affecting any chosen effect meaning you can add an effect to either the music or the effect only, or both simultaneously.
Other functions include a powerful 3 band EQ per channel, fader curve for both crossfader and channel faders, fader start function for CDJs, on board auto or tap BPM counter with digital read out for effects settings + BPM counter, and talk over function. It also features industry-standard size and layout and a dual shield structure that eliminates digital noise.
OUR OPINION
This is obviously a very big and powerful mixer that will appease even the most demanding DJs. With top quality all around, a robust effects package, and MIDI connectivity, the DJM-700 can provide for ultimate freedom and creativity when behind the decks. Basically, if this is mixer is in your budget - go for it (it won't disappoint). Recommended.
