Pioneer S-DJ Monitors

Two Reference Speaker Monitors With Manual Controller Create A Unique Musical Experience

Pioneer S-DJ05 & Pioneer S-DJ08 Active Reference Speakers

Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.’s Professional Sound and Visual Division today introduces its first line of active reference monitoring speakers, S-DJ08 and S-DJ05, designed for DJing and music production. The two speaker models feature excellent sound quality, audio parameter control, built-in linear equalization and four switchable inputs, useful for DJs and producers who need to achieve the highest accuracy in musical reproduction. In addition, both speaker models offer users the ability to change settings such as sound characteristics and audio inputs via a unique manual controller.

“Whether it’s producing music at home, DJing or simply auditioning music, consumers will realize the high quality sound they’re hearing out of these new Pioneer DJ speakers. We’ve also added the ability for DJs and producers who have made a career of music performance and enabled them to make quick audio adjustments to volume, power, equalization and channel inputs via a really cool looking manual controller,” said David Arevalo, senior marketing manager, Professional Sound and Visual Division for Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.

Audio Quality

The compact speakers achieve a larger than normal listening area due to the use of a curved waveguide enclosure that directs the soft-dome tweeter’s sound in a wider pattern for better imaging and staging. This means more listeners across a larger area of a room can hear the higher frequencies than with traditional designs. Additionally, the Bass Reflex enclosure extends the lower frequency range to provide more mid-bass and bass output. In order to reproduce the highest quality audio possible, the speakers are also equipped with strong 10cm high-force magnets (S-DJ08) for better control of the subwoofers, a low resonance chimney-style heat sink and a bi-amp circuit that drives the tweeter and woofer separately.

Whether the speakers are utilized for DJing or producing music, the built-in linear equalizer provides further fine-tuning of sound for all listeners’ tastes. The linear equalizer allows users to adjust the low and high bands from -6 dB to +6dB helping to enhance the tonal quality of instruments while producing music or recreate the low frequency sound of a club while DJing for a more realistic experience, important for critical listeners.

Control

Unique to Pioneer’s DJ speakers, the included control accessory allows users to simultaneously operate the volume, power and four switchable input channels of both speakers. The dial style control knob also engages the equalizer and muting of both speakers.

Inputs and Extras

Both S-DJ08 and S-DJ05 speakers feature four types of inputs (XLR, TRS and two sets of RCA) that let users connect various devices simultaneously, such as a computer, DJ equipment, portable device, etc. The various inputs eliminate the need to change cable connections so the speakers can be utilized with a broad variety of sources.

The speakers also feature an environmentally-friendly Auto Standby feature that automatically detects input signals and switches the standby mode when input is not detected within 60 minutes. For additional functionality, bottom screw holes were implemented for use with commercially available stands.

According to Pioneer, The Pioneer S-DJ08 and Pioneer S-DJ05 will be available in January 2011 for a suggested retail price of $1,199/pair and $899/pair, respectively.

The new Mackie SRM1801 powered bass bin has been a long-time coming. I can’t count the amount of customers who have asked, when purchasing Mackie SRM450 speakers, if Mackie have a complimenting bass cabinet – well now, here it is!

As with all Mackie products, this powered bass bin looks like a quality piece of kit. There’s no doubt, and especially since it’s specifically designed for use with the Mackie SRM450, it will sound amazing!

With it’s massive 1000W of output power this means that a set-up with 2x SRM1801 and 2x Mackie SRM450 MK2 would be an active powerhouse of a massive 2,800 watts! According to our research, most mobile DJs use a pair of 300w speakers. This means this Mackie system would be 3 and a half times the power a standard DJ would need.

So evidently a system such as this will really appeal to DJs who perform at very large (possibly corporate) events, small to medium sized bands, duos and solo artists. Such a diverse market means that the new Mackie SRM1801 has opened up so many posibilities and we predict that you are likely to see more dj equipment retailers looking to stock the new range of Mackie speakers.

From Mackie.com:

The Mackie SRM1801 18″ Powered Subwoofer delivers powerful, chest-thumping lows, perfect for your SRM450v2 PA system. The SRM1801 has a ported bass reflex design that produces tight low end. And the lightweight, ultra-efficient Class-D Fast Recovery™ power amplifier delivers 1000W peak power with less risk of thermal overload. This makes the sub extremely lightweight and portable, without compromising the power and performance that you need. It’s the first ever 18″ subwoofer specifically designed for use with the best-selling SRM450v2—add some serious low end to your portable PA with the SRM1801.

SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE THE ROOM

What does 1000W of peak power mean to you? It means having a subwoofer that delivers rump-shaking bass night after night. It means getting class-leading power and output. To accomplish this, the SRM1801 features Class-D Fast Recovery™ amplification. Class-D amps are more efficient and lightweight, with far less waste heat produced versus competing designs. Fast Recovery means you can occasionally push into clipping without a ton of nasty distortion. So, power is no problem… but how does it sound? The SRM1801 benefits from built-in Active electronics, like a precision crossover and tuning filters for accurate bass response. Some subwoofers have decent power, but when you listen, everything sounds loose and flabby. The SRM1801 delivers professional low end that you can feel… custom tuned to be tight and punchy.

The TriFlex II chassis is housed in the subwoofer enclosure and includes all of the system electronics – two-channel preamp, electronic crossover and subsonic filter – as well as the three power amps. For easy transport, the TriFlex subwoofer can be turned onto its built-in 3” casters, with the satellite speakers secured in the sub’s grille cavity. A cover with pockets to store microphones, cables, etc. is also provided.

The Peavey TriFlex II sets up in seconds; once in position, DJs simply have to remove the two satellite speakers and turn the subwoofer onto its rubber feet so the preamp controls, inputs and outputs are conveniently positioned at the top rear of the subwoofer enclosure. The satellite loudspeakers feature pole mounts for placing on speaker stands to disperse the sound to the audience. These speakers also have a 45-degree back angle so they can be used as floor monitors when placed on the appropriate side.

The TriFlex II enclosures are constructed of sturdy 18 mm MDF with internal bracing and coated with a tough black acrylic paint finish, and feature a 16-gauge perforated metal grille for the ultimate in road-worthy durability.
