The Pioneer DJM-V10 is a 6-channel professional DJ mixer, built to enable DJs to craft new soundscapes from multiple audio sources. When Pioneer started developing the DJM-V10, they challenged themselves to create a versatile sound that would bring out the best in all genres of music. The audio had to be delicately balanced, offering both warmth and clarity. While building numerous prototypes we tried out various components and performed test after test, making refinements every time until we achieved something special. Every detail in the music can be heard and, because the sound is deep and warm, you can listen for hours without getting ear fatigue no matter what kind of music you play.
The DJM-V10 is packed with professional features, but Pioneer wanted it to be easy to use. So, Pioneer adjusted the thickness of the printed lines by 0.1mm, and we grouped many of the controls into clear sections to make the features intuitive to use. Pioneers aim was to create a “blank canvas” that gives you creative freedom by providing a variety of features in a clean, lean layout. Despite its simple look, we were obsessive about every tiny detail of the design because Pioneer wanted the mixer to embody the warm audio it produces. Finally, we achieved this by unifying its look with warm colors.
For the first time ever, Pioneer built in a 4-band EQ to enable you to independently control distinct elements of the music, e.g. kick drums and bass. They also setup a club-style sound system for testing the audio as we built each frequency band from scratch, using a variety of music styles for reference. Listening to feedback from DJs, we carefully adjusted the curve of each band and created highs and lows that you can fully kill, and two sharpened mid ranges.
To help DJs assemble custom setups and get creative with external hardware during their sets, this mixer features an expanded send/return section. The design is tailored to work seamlessly with instruments and guitar pedals as well as FX units. Pioneer also added built-in Send/Return FX which are perfect for making nuanced adjustments to the audio, so you can create sounds that naturally blend with the music. After much research and testing, Pioneer decided on a selection of FX that work well for live remixing, enhancing sounds from external equipment without overpowering them or feeling unnatural.
Once you’ve carefully sculpted your mix using the fader and 4-band EQ on each channel, you can drastically change or make fine adjustments to the whole sound using the new master isolator. During in-depth analysis we examined not only the finished sound when you settle on your final mix, but also how the sound changes as you tweak each range. The oversized dials express the dynamism of the feature, so you can grab them and hype up the crowd with dramatic changes to the music.
