Pioneer CDJ-1000 MK3 Discontinued

| Sunday, February 28th, 2010 | Comments Off

Pioneer PRO DJ have announced today that the industry standard CD player that many DJs use to this day has been discontinued. The CDJ-1000 MK3 is being replaced by the new ‘natural selection’ of players, the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900.

The CDJ-900, priced exactly the same as the CDJ-1000 MK3, boasts a lot more features including USB playback, auto-beat loop and new rekordbox™ software.

The revolutionary music database management software for DJs: rekordbox™. Based on our Prepare & Perform’ concept, rekordbox works (for both Mac and PC) like the leading music database management software, but is more creative and more DJ-friendly.

rekordbox allows DJs to prepare more before their performance and opens a door to tools such as Quantize for perfectly synced loops every time.

DJs can then export data to a USB device to access vast libraries of music files and perform live – without the need for extra equipment or any inconvenient rewiring in the club.

Will Audio Plus still service CDJ-1000 MK3′s?

Yes! Audio Plus will service any Pioneer PRO DJ product whether it’s in warranty, out of warranty or discontinued. We pride ourselves on our professional standard of service and repairs on all units that arrive at our service centre. All repairs are taken out by trained technicians using genuine Pioneer spares.
