Streamlined design for comfortable mixing





In many ways, the DJM-450 is Pioneer's back-to-basics 2-channel mixer, even though its feature set makes it perfect for all kinds of DJ rigs. The thing that makes the DJM-450 so easy to use is its traditional, streamlined layout. Both channels include in-line trim, EQ, effects, cues, and faders, so you can practically operate this mixer blindfolded. Whether you're reaching for an EQ knob or cranking up the Sound Color FX, everything you need is right where you need it to be.





Premium build quality at your fingertips





Any seasoned DJ will agree that you can tell a lot about a piece of gear by how it feels in your hands. That's why Sweetwater DJs love the DJM-450 and all its siblings ? Pioneer DJ doesn't even know how to produce cheap-feeling gear. Each knob is easy to grip (even with sweaty hands) and feels smooth yet totally solid. Dual metal shafts offer superior support for the knobs as well. As for faders, you have to love the contact-free Magvel design, which uses a magnetic system to deliver effortlessly smooth action for a lifetime of performance.





EQ and effects to enhance your mix





Pioneer DJ mixers are widely renowned for their amazing dual-mode EQs and awesome onboard effects. Choose from 6/-16dB or infinity isolator modes to suite your mixing style. Speaking of style, the DJM-450's Sound Color FX replace the traditional channel filter knob with a multi-effects control that can add noise, sweep, dub echo, and filtering, providing you with seriously cool ways to spice up your transitions. Top it off with a selection of eight Beat FX that can automatically lock to the tempo of your tunes and the DJM-450 brings a ton of sonic firepower to your rig.





Bundled with rekordbox dj with DVS





Pioneer's rekordbox dj with rekordbox DVS software gives you the power to create stunning shows and manipulate music perfectly on the fly. Whether you're rocking a pair of XDJ or CDJ digital decks or spinning control vinyl on analog turntables, this powerhouse DJ platform gives you total control over your music, with the precision control you need and the functions and effects you want. Looping, slicing, hot cues, killer effects, easy beat matching ? you name it, it's in rekordbox dj, and your Pioneer DJ DJM-450 gives you direct access to it.





Impressive sound quality and I/O





If you're looking for serious flexibility and professional sound quality from your DJ mixer, then the DJM-450 won't disappoint. For starters, its gold-plated RCA jacks let you connect DJ gear, while RCA and balanced XLR outputs accommodate any PA system. A separate microphone input, which has its own tone control, and aux input complete the analog I/O. Under the hood, there's a powerful 64-bit digital signal processor plus an onboard sound card with 24-bit AD/DA converters. What's more, you can connect your tablet or smartphone via an additional USB port to use it as an external send/return effects processor.
