Pioneer DJ has upgraded one of its 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 professional features including the Magvel crossfader and Sound Color FX filter from the DJM-900NXS2. Pioneer claims audio quality is high and the clear-cut controls let users scratch and mix instinctively.
A built-in sound card means users can connect the DJM-250MK2 to a PC/Mac with a single USB cable and use the bundled rekordbox dj application to mix music files stored on the computer via Pioneer DJ multiplayers. If users like to DJ using digital files but prefer the feel of vinyl, they can use rekordbox dj with the rekordbox dvs plus pack application, which is also included, to control the tracks stored on a computer with turntables and the Control Vinyl (available separately). The software licences are worth a combined €248, Pioneer says.
The DJM-250MK2 will be available from early March.
