Leading club equipment specialists Pioneer have just announced details of a new affordable CD deck and mixing console aimed at those seeking to break into clubland performance.

The new kit – the CDJ-350 deck and DJM-350 mixer – offers several of the features synonymous with Pioneer’s more advanced and expensive models, but at an accessible price. Aspiring DJs will have rekordbox compatibility, powerful creative effects and remix-style looping at their finger-tips; not to mention full USB capability, with users able to plug in memory devices and instantly record quality WAV file mixes. The price tag for each item is under £500.

Both products arrive in June – check www.pioneerdj.eu for launch details; as well as full technical specs...
