Pioneer Unveils the CDJ-850 DJ Media Player
Posted in: audio, MP3 Digital Audio, Music, Today's Chili
Amateur and professional DJs are more than familiar with Pioneer and their line of digital media players, mixers, and DJ gear. The company just announced the Pioneer CDJ-850, a mid-level digital media player aimed at small clubs, music studios, or at-home DJs that want professional-level gear to practice and record sets with. The deck supports CD playback, and the 206mm jog dial on the top of the deck can be used for pitch control, song selection, and search/seek control on CDs and digital music files on a connected device.
The CDJ-850 supports digital music in MP3, AAC, WAV, and AIFF formats from any attached USB device or burned to a CD, and comes with Rekordbox, Pioneer’s jukebox application that can help organize your music library by genre or type. The app also helps you organize your collection by BPM and tempo, which are valuable if you’re prepping for a mix or need help beatmatching two songs in your music library. Track information (including BPM) is also displayed on the CDJ-850’s built-in display. If your DJ setup at home is begging for an upgrade, you can get your hands on the CDJ-850 for $999 when it’s released in August.
