Designed to enhance the Pioneer HDJ series, these sleekly designed,
top-flight headphones touch down with several new innovations to reach
new levels of sound quality, comfort and durability.
First up, the HDJ-2000s’ high-quality frequency response is optimised for pro DJ use and ensures superb clarity with clear separation. This applies to any demanding environment, whether it’s performing in a packed club or engineering in a studio. In fact, the HDJ-2000s’ 50 mm driver units and high-flux magnets create outstanding resolution, from bass to treble, and are ideal for studio applications.
Yet another neat feature is the capacity for 3,500 mW of input, which
means distortion is prevented, even at sustained loud volumes. The
heavy-duty build of these headphones ensures zero resonance.
Sporting a rugged but lightweight magnesium swivel/fold mechanism the headphones are robust, comfortable and compact to transport.
Each ear-cup gives excellent insulation and swivels a full 90 degrees
using a new i-hinge with auto-return, which presents great flexibility,
especially for DJs who prefer the ‘on-shoulder’ method of monitoring.
To improve monitoring, there is also a convenient STEREO/MONO switch.
Finally, heat-sensitive, low-rebound urethane-foam (memory-foam)
padding with a comfortable protein leather* surface cushions the ears
and head for a no-fatigue fit. The HDJ-2000s are not only the perfect
partner for our Pioneer DJM mixers but even feature a stylish aluminium
outer finish to match the play/cue buttons on our Pioneer CDJ players.

Designed by Numark in collaboration with Serato, NS7 represents the
pinnacle of DJ performance control. NS7 combines an all-metal chassis
with adjustable torque, motorized, aluminum-turntable platters, vinyl,
and a professional audio interface to deliver a complete performance
solution that will satisfy even the most hardcore turntablist.
A full complement of premium faders, knobs, buttons and our new Strip
Search (patent pending) virtual-needle-drop control integrates
seamlessly with the included Serato ITCH software. NS7 delivers
hands-on control of every aspect of Serato ITCH and sends data to the
software more than ten times faster than standard MIDI resolution,
resulting in a rock-solid hardware/software DJ system that works with
Mac or PC and feels as good as it looks.
Serato ITCH is completely compatible with Serato Scratch LIVE crates,
loops, and cue points, so the Scratch Live DJ can step up to NS7
without missing a beat.
NS7 was a collaborative development effort with Serato to develop the
finest computer-DJ experience. It is a one-to-one hands-on control
instrument for Serato ITCH.
For
the first time in three years Tiësto returns to the island of Ibiza to
host his own weekly residency at Privilege, the biggest club in the
world. To celebrate Tiësto's comeback to the ultimate party island,
Reebok launches a new shoe in collaboration with the DJ: RBK Tiësto
Ibiza.
After the
successful launch of the first RBK DJ Tiësto shoe last year, Reebok now
launches a new summer edition: the must have for fashionable members of
the club scene and diehard sneaker heads. The latest RBK DJ Tiësto shoe
combines elements of both Tiësto's signature as the Ibiza lifestyle.
The Balearic Island has always been a source of positive inspiration
for Tiësto and in 2007 he named the sixth volume of his 'In Search of
Sunrise' series after the island. Tiësto will express his love for
Ibiza during his exclusive residency, every Monday at Privilege,
starting on the 7th of July until the closing party on the 22nd of
September 2008. He will deliver his four-hour deejay sets in the style
of his 'In Search of Sunrise' series, everything dedicated to the
atmosphere that can only be found on the Balearic Islands.

Those
that like to experience Tiësto's musical anthem to Ibiza even more,
will have a blast with the latest RBK Tiësto Ibiza shoe. The unisex
design contains various symbols, the outline of the Ibiza island and
Tiësto's silhouette; the side of each sneaker has a metal pin with
headphones and still there's more to find. RBK's designer Paul Smith
worked together with Tiësto on this unique new Reebok Ibiza sneaker.
Two fitted Tees with the same print will be available as well, all

Our great pals over at Futuremusic.com have taken time from their busy schedule to review Ecler's newest piece of kit:
"The
Ecler EVO5, part of a completely new line, is a sophisticated DJ mixer
that seamlessly bridges the gap between the analog and digital realms.
In its simplest implementation, the EVO5 can be utilized as a 4-channel
analog mixer for CD decks and turntables. It can also be used solely as
a full-on MIDI controller with every knob and fader able to send MIDI
data. In its most advanced application, it can be used as both a MIDI
controller, and an analog mixer at the same time. This not only gives
the EVO5 enormous versatility, but also allows the adventurous DJ to
push the mixing envelope."
Sony today introduced a DJ-style
shelf system with a dual dock for iPod(R) devices called XROSS FADE(TM).
Perfect for mixing and playing music from iPod players, CDs and other music
sources, XROSS FADE helps create the ultimate party soundtrack.
Part of the Muteki(TM) series of stereo systems, the XROSS FADE (model
LBT-DJ2i) has an imposing presence and massive output that can fill nearly any
room with sound, whether it's in a home, a dorm, or even powering a block
party.
This music system has 450 watts of total power output, so aspiring DJs can
crank up the volume while still maintaining high quality sound. As its name
implies, the XROSS FADE system comes with DJ-style features, including a
cross-fader with monitor cue and a built-in two-channel mixer. With this
feature, an upcoming track can be checked through headphones to be sure it's
cued properly before playing it aloud. DJs can mix two songs or fade into the
next song without missing a beat.
With an interface and two scroll wheel mechanisms that allow for easy menu
navigation similar to that of iPod players, users never need to touch their
iPod players while scanning for the next track. The XROSS FADE system even
has a USB recording function that saves mixing sessions to a USB device in the
MP3 format without a PC.
The XROSS FADE system includes traditional shelf system features, such as
a CD player, an AM/FM tuner, and a line-in jack for listening to MP3 players.
Users can mix music from these sources as well as their iPod players. The
system converts CDs and AM/FM radio to MP3 files as well.
