About the Pioneer DJM-450 2-channel DJ Mixer with Beat FX

The Pioneer DJ DJM-450 is a 2-channel DJ mixer that inherits its design and features from the DJM-900NXS2. It works with multiplayers and turntables. Its layout is modeled on the professional DJM-900NXS2.

Each channel has an EQ for high, mid and low frequencies, plus an isolator that fully removes each EQ band. The Magvel faders use two metal shafts to support the fader knobs and a contact-free magnetic system built to last through millions of performances. A 64-bit digital signal processor with dithering technology handles both analog and digital sources.

There are 8 Beat FX that sync with the bpm: Delay, Echo, Spiral, Reverb, Trans, Flanger, Pitch and Roll. There are also 4 Sound Colour FX: Dub Echo, Sweep, Noise and Filter, with a parameter control knob. Independent Send/Return lets you use the built-in FX and external FX from mobile apps at the same time by connecting a smartphone or tablet over USB. The mic section works independently, so a microphone and the AUX input can be used together.
