Pioneer S-DJ05 1st showing in the UK at PhaseOne Darlington January 2011

0:05 Are these the first ones in the UK then?

So, are these the first ones in the UK then? These are the first ones in the UK, yeah. First time they've been seen anywhere. Yeah, apart from the BPM, wouldn't it? Oh, you know, these are a different version from the BPM. The audio's been tweaked since then. At BPM there's test production samples, these are post-production. Cool. Still not quite the finished article, but a stage further than we were previously. Are we going to do the YouTube unboxing thing? Yeah, go for it. Shall we do it? Alright, so here we go. What we're looking at are the new powered speakers from Pioneer and this is the first time they would have been in any store, shop in the United Kingdom. Correct. And they're going to be in here. In here. Phase one. Phase one. I don't do this. I think you should do this. Then if you drop them... You haven't dropped one, have you? You want to film me actually taking them out of the box now? Yeah, yeah. You've not seen this on YouTube. Everybody does it.

DJ tutorial by Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. So listen to these while you DJ on them. You can be the first DJ to DJ on them. There you go, and what's your name sir? Mike Brown. Where are you from? I'm from Bishop Auckland. Yeah, what sort of DJ are you? I'm just a bedroom DJ at the minute. I'm a bit into house and progressive but I'm moving to Australia so who knows. Right, you got a girlfriend? No, I haven't, no. No, mum and dad? Yes, mum and dad. Live still with your mum and dad? I've got a CDJ-400, two 400s, a Numark 5000 FX mixer and two Numark TT200 turntables. Alright, what's your dream kit? You've got £5000, what would you buy? I'd get the new DJM-2000 and two of the CDJ-2000s as well. PA system, what would you get?

I don't know, I'm not really up on my PA systems, I'm just a DJ at the minute. Alright, fair enough, so you're having a bit of a mess around. So yeah, you sir will be the first person in the United Kingdom to use the new powered speakers, powered monitors from Pioneer and Mr MD himself is going to plug them in, is that right sir? Brilliant, let's just wire all this up then. And Mr MD... No, I won't film you plugging him in. No, but Mr. MD one day hopefully might be the MD. No comment. Alright, we'll pause this and we'll get him set up.

3:28 You've got four inputs in the back there

You've got four inputs in the back there. You've got quarter-inch jack, you've got XLR, you've got two phonos. So it's the first monitor speaker to have four different inputs. It comes with this big knob, remote control. The big knob? Yeah. Now you see there, you've got input selector. So you don't have to fiddle around with the mixer or go around the back of the speaker. You just simply press this to select through your one, two, three. For inputs, XLR which we're using to go into the DJM2000 is input 3 so I'm selecting input 3 and why is that not 3? There you go. Yeah, so you can see as you flip through here it's changing the inputs on both the speakers. The pickup remote goes into the in on the din at the back there, you then come out of this speaker

5:57 Are you going to play the second one?

The DJ Tutor allows you to use the remote control in a variety of ways. The audio is in flat mode, so that's for your production and your studio work for your reference monitoring for your reference audio. If you hold the EQ button down, you see the EQ light comes on, and that activates the EQ. The EQ is a two-band EQ, so you've got your low and your high. It's on a rotary pot as well, so it's not just a case of pressing a button and losing a certain amount of frequency, you can set it. To however you want it. Now the EQ is designed in mind with the DJ usage and mix monitoring. So I'm just going to put the bass at plus 2 there, I'll leave the high at the 12 o'clock position. So even though I've set the EQs up like that, if I then switch EQ off, the sound coming out of there will be exactly as if both the low and the high were at the 12 o'clock position. Right, I think we're ready to go then. Are you going to play the second one? Yeah, I'll start it.

First time now using this kit. It's a shame actually you can't hear the sound quality properly, but there's a nice hint of bass there.
