Pioneer DJ DJM-V10-LF

Building upon the success of the DJM-V10, the black Pioneer DJM-V10-LF removes the crossfader and extends the channel faders for more volume precision. Some DJs prefer to use the channel faders over the crossfader, as they offer more control to perform smooth blends with tiny adjustments to the volume of each track, or quickly drop sounds into the mix as if playing a musical instrument.

Removing the crossfader from the DJM-V10 affords the updated 60 mm shaft slide faders on the DJM-V10-LF to extend further down the top plate, offering a longer range of movement for better volume control of audio sources. What’s more, an updated fader curve setting has been added to the unit and the faders have been appropriately weighted to enhance the potential offered by their elongated range.

The DJM-V10-LF is well suited for professional DJs, clubs, festivals, mobile DJs, nightclub installations, recording studios, and more. The mixer utilizes a 6-channel layout and an integrated USB soundcard with support for up to 6 stereo channels of 32-Bit / 96 kHz audio and 64-bit internal processing. Its digital throughput also delivers a wide variety of DSP effects.

Many enhancements have been made to the V10-LF including a complete redesign of the mixer’s interface, which now includes a 4-band EQ, dedicated high-pass or low-pass filters with resonance, and send FX on each channel. Send FX offers four internal effects with dedicated parameter controls, plus two stereo sends with returns for interfacing with external FX processors such as guitar pedals, studio multi-FX, and more. Additionally, each Send FX (internal or external) can be assigned to one of the six channel strips for even more advanced routing and processing.

Each channel also features a compressor, which is designed for producer/DJs to play unmastered tracks seamlessly, help match older tracks to modern compression standards, or fatten up and tame dynamics. The updated Beat FX can now be accessed via a larger touchscreen for hands-on, real-time manipulation of effects, plus Hi/Mid/Low FX frequency cuts for further performance enhancements. Two independent headphone outputs add control for a dual cueing system, allowing DJs to play seamless back-to-back sets and smooth DJ transitions.

There are four inputs for turntables and six line-level inputs for digital decks. Additional features include Pro DJ Link, six S/PDIF digital input connections, one AES/EBU digital output connection, a DIN MIDI output for synchronizing external hardware effects and sequencers, two top-mounted USB connections, and an additional USB port that supports iOS devices for use with Pioneer’s optional RMX-1000 for iPad. An independent send-and-return section allows for external effects to be used simultaneously with the internal effects. The DJM-V10-LF ships with a power cord.
