Is the DJM-900NXS2 worth it over the original NXS?

Yes for most pro users. The NXS2 adds the 64-bit processor, revised EQ and fader curves, more Beat FX and an independent send/return, which are meaningful upgrades for club work.

How does it compare with the DJM-A9?

The DJM-A9 is newer and adds features like a built-in ESS DAC and more mic processing. The NXS2 remains a widely accepted club standard and is often the more familiar layout for guest DJs.

Does it work with turntables and CDJs together?

Yes. It has four phono inputs and multiple line inputs plus two USB ports, so you can run turntables, CDJs and a laptop at the same time.

Can I record my sets with it?

Not onboard. You need to route the output to an external recorder or computer, since the mixer has no built-in recording.

The mixer itself with its power cable. Cables for your decks and mics are not included.

Is it good for a home setup?

It works, but its size, weight and pro-level feature set are more than most home DJs need. A smaller 2-channel mixer is usually a better fit.

About the Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 Nexus DJ Mixer

The Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 is a 4-channel digital DJ mixer for touring and installation. The processor works at 96kHz. It also has refined EQ and fader curves and improved FX controls.

Each channel has a 3-band EQ that switches between +6/-26dB and Isolator modes. Sound Color FX and Beat FX are built in, and the large X-Y pad and FX Frequency assignments control the Beat FX. Two microphone inputs offer Beat FX and Talk Over mode. An independent send/return loop adds external effects, and iOS effects such as Pioneer's RMX-1000 can connect over USB.

The channel faders are contact-free Magvel faders. The fader and crossfader curves are adjustable. Two USB connections allow seamless laptop changeovers. ProDJ Link networking integrates it with other Pioneer DJ gear, and onboard MIDI connects it to a computer rig. It is compatible with the rekordbox dj DVS Plus Pack.
