While we’re on the subject of comparing Pioneer DJ mixers, some food for thought: is the release of a four-channel mixer a damage-control move because the V10 was perhaps a bit too much for your everyday artist – in terms of pricing, features, accessibility, and ability to buy?Ĭontrol and adjust the A9: the Stagehand iPad app The D/A converter, though, is 32 bit on both. The NXS2’s A/D converter was 24 bit the A9 jumped to 32. A step up for better sound – A9 has the ESS Technology converter that takes the audio quality up a notch.Same channels, same crossfader – still sitting at 4 channels and built with a MAGVEL FADER crossfader, although the A9 claims the faders will be higher-quality this time around.Only slightly pricier, but with a slew of new features – The 900NS2 was priced at $2,399 USD – so a jump to $2,699 with the additions and upgrades it offers is ultimately not that huge.The release of the A9 naturally leads us to question how big of a difference there really is between the new gear and a predecessor. The DJM-900NXS2 could easily be deemed as much of an industry standard in many major scenes – especially in such where the V10 hadn’t made its mark. new: How does it compare to the DJM-900NXS2?
