The Pioneer DJM-450 is a compact two-channel DJ mixer inheriting several features from the flagship DJM-900NXS2. The DJM-450 is crammed with the latest tech including the new Magvel crossfader and USB send and return to enable the use of iOS apps in your DJ set and beat and Sound Color FX.

In pursuit of an intuitive mixing experience Pioneer have thankfully stuck to the familiar layout for all of the expected controls. In addition to this, the smooth curves found on the EQs and channel faders provide you with the perfect tools to create a seamless flow of music while those wishing to get creative can take things to the next level if needed. In addition to the curves inherited from the DJM-900NXS2 you’ll also be able to use both Sound Colour and Beat FX to add the sonic ear candy demanded by today’s audience.

In addition to a creative set of tools the DJM-450 benefits from Pioneer’s latest advances in digital signal processing with the mixer using 64-bit processing to provide warm, high-quality audio from either analogue or digital sources. If you’d like to use the DVS functionality that’s now available in rekordbox DJ (included) the 450 features a built-in audio interface, the inclusion of this sound card allows you to connect the mixer to your MAC or PC with ease.
