Hasta La Gadget!

Pioneer has long been a friend of DJs, producers, and audiophiles alike, turning out lines of audio products that can make club DJs and at-home listeners equally happy with the audio quality they get for the money. If you have the money to spare, the new Pioneer S-DJ05 and S-DJ08 speaker systems can put out impressive sound. Both series will be available in January 2011, but you can reserve a pair of the S-DJ05 speakers for $899 or the D-DJ08 speakers for $1199.

The DJ05 5-inch speakers and DJ08 8-inch speakers are both active reference speakers and are aimed at DJs and music producers looking for sound worthy of a music studio. Both models allow you to control speaker settings from a single external controller that’s included with the package, and have a built-in linear equalizer that you can manage from that controller.

The new speakers also allow you to easily switch among the four built-in audio terminals so you can quickly toggle between computers and your DJ equipment, or additional mixers and amps connected to them without the need for a sub-mixer. The speakers even feature a built-in LED display that will show you the active source and the EQ status.
