Pioneer's flagship set-up is taking a leap into the future, as the company unveiled the CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2. Pioneer's engineers have given the CDJ-2000NXS2 a 96 kHz/24-bit sound card and adding FLAC/Apple Lossless Audio (ALAC) support. Browsing and track selection are even more intuitive with the high-res touch screen, Qwerty keyboard and Track Filter search. The screen also packs in a multicoloured wave display, more detailed rekordbox information and instant access to all the most popular features. The player now has 2 banks of 4 Hot Cues - 8 in total. In addition, you can connect the DDJ-SP1 controller to add even more Hot Cues and loops and control 4 players from one device using Pro DJ Link.

The DJM-900NXS2 is Pioneer's first 64-bit mixing processor. The controls are even more responsive, with a new gain structure, improved EQ and fader curves. The Sound Colour FX section now has a parameter knob for even more nuanced manipulation. Plus an independent Send/Return means you no longer have to choose between Beat FX and external FX: you can connect your choice of external FX controllers, including apps on your iPad, and layer it on top of the on-board FX. Add to that 4 phono inputs, DVS support and 2 USB ports for easy connection to PC/Mac.

The CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2 will be available in February 2016, with retail prices of $2,199.00 and $2,199.00, respectively.
