Setting up involves plugging you audio ins and outs in and turning on, but if you want to use it synced up with a pair of CDJ-2000NXS2 players, for example, via Pro DJ Link you’ll need to use a network switch, as unlike the bigger DJM-2000 mixer, the DJM-900NXS2 only has one Ethernet socket so can’t be used as a hub, which is a shame. The DJM-900NXS2 has the usual spate of inputs and outputs for phono and line level gear, but a significant addition here is the improved send/return section that now lets you connect a USB device, such as an iPad running Pioneer’s own RMX-1000 app, apart from an external hardware effects unit through the 1/4″ jacks.
Round the back the Midi socket has been sacrificed to take the mic socket that’s moved from the top (remember, there’s an iPad USB presumably also for Midi now on top), and the ground poles for your Technics earth leads are now frankly huge (not sure why), but everything else is exactly as you’d expect from the previous DJM-900NXS.
There are a few cosmetic changes (it is darker and matt coloured, a bit deeper, one of the mic sockets has moved around the back to make way for twin USBs, and there’s a USB FX send/return for iPads etc – more on this later…), but you’ll know your way around it instantly if you’re used to DJing with club gear. It looks, as I say, as you’d expect any Pioneer mixer to look, with four channels, big Color FX knobs under each set of EQs, the mic controls down the left and the main FX down the right.

First Impressions / Setting up In this review we take a look at the DJM-900NXS2, which is an update to the old DJM-900NXS and the companion mixer to the new CDJ-2000NXS2 multi player.
