The DJM-2000nexus delivers excellent sound quality, utilising an audio circuit clock that features a highly stable crystal oscillator, as well as noise reduction circuitry in its audio power source. The mixer also features a balanced hybrid op-amp and a perfectly balanced [“Balanced” is here twice, and then you wonder if the op-amp is imperfectly balanced] output circuit in the analog processing stage to significantly decrease induced noise significantly, resulting in a dynamic range of 107dB with 0.004% THD.FeaturesLayout – The mixer now utilises chrome-plated knobs for adjusting effect frequencies as well as white LED illumination for the beat button to perfectly match the look of the CDJ-2000nexus perfectly. The top centre section of the mixer features EFX capabilities to provide a bounty of digital effects, while each side section of the panel offers audio mixing controls for up to four digital or USB sources. The middle section contains INST FX (Instant Instrument FX) functions for additional sound effects.5.8-inch Multi-Touch Display – The DJM-2000nexus incorporates a full-colour 5.8-inch LCD multi-touch panel for remixing beats and adding audio effects with a simple touch of the screen.

Four types of MIDI modes are available for more performance flexibility.Evolved Beat Effects – Numerous buttons for the evolved Beat Effects were added for selecting multiple effects and beat parameters. Manipulation of the sound effects can be made using the Effect Frequency knobs that change the low, mid and high frequency bands of the music. With the turn of a knob, users can enhance the effects of each frequency band, i.e., an echo added specifically to the vocals of the music or a doubling of the hi-hat rhythm, providing incredible performance options.INST FX – The Instant Instrument FX provides six additional audio effects that include Noise, HPF, LPF, Jet, Zip and Crush. Each effect can be brought into the channel with a turn of the Filter knob.

The JOG rings of the turntable change colour based on the current on-air status and channel number connection, providing quick visual indications to the DJ.USB interface – The DJM-2000nexus features a USB audio interface2 that allows a direct computer connection without the need for an external sound card. Up to four audio sources can be assigned to each channel, providing even more flexibility.
