Product Description

The CDJ-800 digital vinyl turntable, makes Pioneer's ground-breaking technology available to more DJs than ever before.

The compact, silver colored CDJ-800 boasts five completely new and unique features, including Quick Return, Auto Beat Loop, Touch Release Dial, 'Wide' Pitch Control and Digital Out.

In Vinyl mode, the touch-sensitive jog wheel allows DJs to stop/cue up tracks and bend and scratch sounds. In CDJ mode, the jog wheel lets DJs speed up or slow down the music, fine-tune cue points and use all the other acclaimed CDJ functions.

Features

When using Vinyl mode the Quick Return feature enables a track to return instantly again and again to a cue point just by pressing the surface of the jog wheel.

The Auto Beat Loop feature uses four timing buttons to instantly create perfect one, two, four or eight beat loops. When a loop has been produced manually with the loop in and loop out buttons, this feature allows instant 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 beat cuts of the initial loop.

The Touch Release Dial allows CDs playing in Vinyl mode to be slowed, stopped and relaunched at different speeds when the jog wheel is touched or released.

Playing out can also be enhanced with the deck's "Wide" Pitch Control function. DJs can use the +/- 100 percent pitch control range to create new sound effects from opposite ends of the sound spectrum and also to BPM match completely different tracks.

The Digital Out function ensures that all of the CDJ-800's digital features are carried over to any connected digital environment.

Lasting Legends
The CDJ-800 also includes legendary Pioneer functions such as Master Tempo and Cue/Loop Memory. Master Tempo locks the pitch of a track even when its speed is changed, allowing DJs to speed up or slow down the beat, without any difference to the vocals and instruments. Cue/Loop Memory allows a DJ to set a cue or loop point and then save it to the deck's internal memory. The CDJ-800 has enough capacity to save one cue point for up to 500 CDs, so that DJs can locate their favorite cue points instantly.

Vinyl Speed Adjust

One Touch Auto Beat Loop (New)

Or if you have already created your loop manually, these 4 buttons will cut your loop to create 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 beat cuts of your initial loop.

Quick Return Play (New)

Extra Fast Track/Song Search
Turning the Jog Dial with the press of the Track Search or Search button allows higher speed search. This function is convenient for CDs with many tracks or for songs that have an extended length.

16 second Memory Buffer Shock System
Sound jumps or skipping is prevented by using a 16 second shock-proof memory for normal CD play (minimum of 10 seconds if scratching in vinyl mode).

Legato Link Conversion
Equipped with Pioneer's wide range technology, the CDJ- 800 is capable of reproducing sound frequencies above 20 kHz, which are lost during normal CD-format playback. Not only does this give great sound reproduction but sounds closer to the original recording and gives more of an analog type of sound.

Oil Damping Anti-Vibration Mechanism
Oil-dampened floating suspension prevents sound skipping, even when the player is subjected to impact during use or vibrations are generated from high volume music and low frequency bass.

Front Loading
Designed principally for ease of CD changing, it also reduces the risk of accidental damage to the player.

Full Functional Digital Out (New)
The CDJ-800 is equipped with an on/off digtial output (phono) which can be utilized for studio use. All functions of the player are available while in Digital Output Mode.
