1 High sound quality design

Analog signals are transmitted via the shortest path and converted

to digital signals by a 96 kHz sampling, 24 bit, high-quality A/D

converter, thus passing the signals to the digital mixing stage

under optimum conditions.

BEFORE USING

Through the use of a 32 bit DSP, mixing is achieved with zero

sound quality degradation, and together with simultaneous ideal

filtering, optimum sound is produced for professional DJs

working in clubs.

To get the most from these features, a great deal of care has been

paid to perfecting the sound quality, including a high-rigidity

chassis to cut down unnecessary vibrations that might affect the

sound, together with a high-performance power section using an

R-core transformer that supports bass quality, thus creating clear

and powerful sound ideal for club performances.

4 Fader curve adjust

The fader curve adjust allows adjustment not only the cross fader

curve (as on former models), but also of channel fader curve.

Both faders’ functions can be adjusted within 17 steps, so that DJs

can customize the settings to their own preferred settings.

5 Digital IN/OUT

Using digital input connectors provided for each of the sampling

rates (44.1/48/96 kHz), a system can be built in which no sound

quality degradation occurs when connecting to external digital

devices.

8 Other features

By using a control cable to connect the unit to a PIONEER DJ-

use CD player, playback can be started on the CD player in

automatic linkage to operation of the fader (“fader start play”).

Built-in “3-band equalizer” enabling level control within range

+6 dB to –26 dB at each bandwidth.

Features “2-band booth EQ” for control of booth monitor

response, thus facilitating booth monitoring by the DJ.

assigning of each channel’s input to the cross fader.

Built-in “TALK OVER function” automatically lowers track

volume during MIC-input.

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Condensation

Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not

be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously

cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises

sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not

be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow

the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room

temperature gradually.

÷ Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to

direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive

heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal

components. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty

environment may also result in a malfunction or accident.

(Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be

exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)

Cleaning the Unit

÷ When the unit is used inside a carrying case or DJ booth,

separate it from the walls or other equipment to improve

heat radiation.

÷ Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

÷ When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth

dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times

with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry

cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

÷ Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other

chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the

surfaces.

Installing the DJM-1000 in an EIA rack

The screw holes on the front panel of the DJM-1000 are

designed for use in attaching the unit to a 19-inch EIA rack.

÷ Attach the unit to the rack using screws of the appropriate

size (screws not provided with the unit).

÷ When installing the unit in a rack, take care to avoid

pinching your fingers.

Note

÷ Never place this unit directly above a power amplifier, as

the heat given off by the amplifier might result in damage

to the unit. Placing the unit directly above a power

amplifier might also result in ham radio signals being

picked up or in other types of interference.

÷ Allow at least 1U (43.7 mm) space between this component

and the one mounted above it, so as to assure that the

cords connected to this unit’s input/output connectors and

terminals do not touch the component above.

÷ Always be sure to remove the unit from its rack before

shipping.

÷ When moving the unit while still installed in its rack,

exercise caution to avoid subjecting the unit to shocks or

vibration.

one of the LINE input connectors of the DJM-1000, and switch the

input selector switch of the connected channel to [LINE] (no LINE

input connectors are provided for channel 5 and channel 6). When

only the L channel is connected, the input in the L channel will be

input to the R channel as well.

When using digital connections, connect the digital coaxial output

connector to one of the DIGITAL input connectors of the DJM-

1000, and switch the input selector switch of the connected

channel to [DIGITAL] (no digital input connectors are provided for

BEFORE USING (CONNECTIONS)

CONNECTING TO THE EFFECTOR AND OUTPUT CONNECTORS

Master output

External effector

There is an XLR plug correspondent balanced output MASTER 1,

and a RCA plug correspondent unbalanced output MASTER 2. Set

the output level using the MASTER ATT. dial to match the input

sensitivity of the connected power amplifier.

Use a cable with Ø6.3 mm phone plugs to connect the DJ mixer’s

SEND connectors to the input connectors of an external effector.

When using a monaural input effector, connect only the L channel

output. In this way, the mixed L/R audio signal will be sent to the

effector.

In the same way, use a cable with Ø6.3 mm phone plugs to

connect the DJ mixer’s RETURN connectors to the output

connectors of the external effector.

When the effector has only monaural output, connect the L

channel input only. In this way, the signal from the effector will be

input to both L/R channels.

Booth monitor output

Unbalanced output supporting Ø6.3 mm phone plug. Volume can

be adjusted with the BOOTH MONITOR dial (LEVEL), regardless of

the setting of the MASTER fader.

Recording output

Output connectors for recording, supports RCA plug.

Digital output

Coaxial digital output connector, supports RCA plug. Sampling

frequency can be selected (96 kHz/48 kHz) in accordance with

connected device.

MIDI CONNECTORS

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a unified standard for transmitting data between electrical musical instruments and

computers.

Data can be transmitted between devices with MIDI connectors using a MIDI cable.

The DJM-1000 can send operating data to external MIDI devices using the MIDI protocol.
