When Pioneer DJ announced the DDJ-1000, at NAMM 2018, users of rekordbox DJ everywhere rejoiced. Now, it’s time for Serato fanatics to have their turn because Pioneer DJ has released the DDJ-1000SRT, a version of the DDJ-1000 built expressly for the purpose of controlling Serato.
Serving as a 4-channel controller for Serato, the DDJ-1000SRT boasts dual USB ports for simultaneous connection of two laptops, a Magvel crossfader, and two full-sized CDJ jog wheels with dedicated beat jump buttons nearby. Centered in each jog wheel is a full-color LCD, displaying the BPM, vinyl/slip mode, deck number, time, and more. Sixteen RGB performance pads make functions such as Hot Cue, Roll, Slicer, and Sampler instantly available, and DJM-style Beat FX with 14 FX types enable more creative expression. Each of the four mixer channels features an input selector, trim, 3-band EQ, and Sound Color FX. Plus, there's a dedicated mic channel with 2-band EQ and support for two microphones. To top it off, Pioneer added support for specialized features such as Key Sync, Key Shift, and Key Lock.
The DDJ-1000SRT’s rear panel presents plenty of I/O jacks to accommodate all sorts of devices. In addition to the previously mentioned dual USB ports, there are stereo RCA inputs for channels 1-4. The first two pairs accept line-level signal while the inputs for channels 3-4 have switches that allow them to handle line or phono sources. For the two mic inputs, you’ll find one XLR-1/4" combo jack and one 1/4" socket. As far as outputs are concerned, there are stereo 1/4" booth outs and two pairs of master outputs on balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA jacks. 1/4" and 3.5mm headphone outputs on the front panel are fed by dedicated mix and level controls to ensure that you can properly monitor your cues, main mix, or a blend of both.
To take control of Serato and move your mixes to new dimensions, consider making the DDJ-1000SRT the centerpiece of your DJ setup. Stop by the B&H SuperStore or visit our website to learn more!
