New Pioneer DJ DJM-S11 Professional 2-Channel DJ Mixer

Deck 3/4 Control

This is a world’s first and is a feature that allows up to four tracks to be played at the same time. The other Decks can be accessed via the touchscreen, where parameters including EQs, Pitch Bend, Hot Cues and more, can be modified to aid in creating live mash-ups of several tracks.

If Serato DJ is used, two additional features are unlocked, Deck Move and Dual Deck Control. Deck Move allows tracks from 1 to 4 and deck 2 to 3 be reassigned without pausing the sound and is an excellent feature for freeing up the mains decks. Dual Deck allows effect parameters and volume to be adjusted for two of the decks simultaneously, or to allow two tracks to be scratched at the same time.

4.3-Inch touch screen

The high-frame colour touch screen on the DJM S11 displays all the vital information at a glance and allows simple, fast access to significant controls. The aim of the interactive display is so the user can concentrate on the mix, and how the crowd are reacting, without having to stare at a screen for longer than necessary. It is also fully customisable, which means the layout can be changed to suit the individual.

Scratch Bank

Scratch Bank is a new pad mode that allows quick access to scratch samples from four banks that have been pre-assigned in Serato DJ Pro by merely tapping a pad. Additionally, there is the option to load them from a specified starting point. In Serato DJ Pro, the Active Combo Pad mode means up to four different pad modes can be used simultaneously (two modes per channel, four pads per mode) which means more features can be combined.

In-built Effects

There are 22 built-in effects in the S11, fifteen inherited from the DJMS9 and seven brand new ones, including a new Beat FX, Channel Fader Pitch and Helix. The effects are saved in four FX Banks which can be instantly triggered and can be edited via the touchscreen. Additionally, when one of the effects is in use, up to six more can be activated from the DJ software to create new and vibrant sounds.

High-quality audio

Under the hood of the DJMS11 mixer is superior audio technology that allows for greater sound clarity and power, similar to that of the industry-standard DJM-900NXS2. The DSP contains a 64-bit studio-quality mixing and dithering process, the master output features a 32-bit quality D/A converter, and there is a low-jitter clock circuit present.

Direct USB Connections

The mixer features dual USB-A ports which allow direct connection for DJ controllers and other devices, two USB-B ports that allow for two laptops to be connected simultaneously and two CDJs can be connected using the HID mode, which negates the need for an external hub.

Plug and Play and MIDI Mapping

Rekordbox can be used directly out of the box, and the mixer also acts as a Hardware Unlock device, which means access is granted to Performance mode. It also allows for DVS control when the S11 is connected to a laptop that runs the application. Serato DJ Pro can be used straight from the box also without needing to obtain a licence key. A Serato Pitch ‘n Time voucher is included, which unlocks key shifting and key syncing with precise quality of audio. Finally, advanced MIDI mapping is available, which allows the user to assign controls to various functions within the DJ software providing even more user flexibility.
