Introducing Pioneer DJ’s New 2-Channel Mixer

by Nashata K.

Pioneer has upgraded one of their most popular 2-channel mixers to create the DJM-250MK2. The new mixer is the entry point into the DJM series and is packed with features including the Magvel crossfader and Sound Color FX filter from the DJM-900NXS2.

DJM-250MK2_angle_low_0119With its own built-in soundcard, the DJM-250MK2 offers high-quality audio and can be connected to any set-up, while the clear-cut controls let you scratch and mix instinctively.

DJM-250MK2_prm_top_low_0119The clear layout of the DJM-250MK2’s lower half gives you freedom to perform complicated scratch techniques. The Magvel crossfader, inherited from their flagship DJM-900NXS2 mixer, feels accurate and assured, and it’s highly durable (capable of approximately 10 million movements).

You can also perform seamless blended mixes on the DJM-250MK2 using the smooth channel faders.

The upper half of the new mixer packs in several features including 3-band isolators, which you can use to completely eliminate your chosen frequency range.

Each channel has its own filter inherited from the Sound Color FX on the DJM-900NXS2, which you can apply by twisting the dedicated knob and then add texture with the separate parameter knob.

Warm, high-quality audio from both analogue and digital sound sources comes thanks to the DJM-250MK2’s dithering technology.

The built-in sound card means you can connect the mixer to your PC/Mac with a single USB cable and use the bundled rekordbox dj application to mix music files stored on your computer via Pioneer DJ multi players.

If you like to DJ using digital files but prefer the feel of vinyl, you can use rekordbox dj with rekordbox dvs plus pack application, which is also included, to control the tracks stored on your computer with turntables and Pioneer’s control vinyl (available separately).

The DJM-250MK2 will be available in Malaysia from July 2017.

KEY FEATURES OF THE DJM-250MK2

Magvel crossfader, smooth channel faders and 3-band isolators

Mixing and scratching on the DJM-250MK2 feels instinctive and effortless. The Magvel crossfader – taken from the flagship DJM-900NXS2 mixer – is accurate, smooth, and durable for more than 10 million movements.

Precise, fluid mixes are a breeze using the mixer’s channel faders, and the 3-band isolators give precision across the highs, mids and lows. You can use them to totally eliminate each frequency range when you turn the knob all the way to the left.

Flagship filter with nuanced control

Get creative in the mix using the filter inherited from the Sound Color FX on the flagship DJM-900NXS2 mixer. Simply turn the knob on each channel to apply the filter, then create unique textures by twisting the parameter knob to adjust resonance and add tension to your performance.

Built-in sound card and easy recording

Connect the DJM-250MK2 to your PC/Mac using a single USB cable. The USB connection supports sound input and output, so you can record your mixes to your computer’s hard drive.
