DJ Kit Hire: 2 x Pioneer CDJ-2000 Nexus and DJM-900NXS2 Mixer

The DJKIT is a Pioneer DJ setup built around two CDJ-2000 Nexus players and a DJM-900NXS2 mixer. It is the standard club layout that DJs learn on, and it is still one of the most popular things we hire out for parties, school balls, weddings and bar nights. Pair it with a DAS active speaker system from our hire range and you have a complete rig, supplied by one company, with nothing to match up on the night.

What is in the DJ KIT

• 2 x Pioneer CDJ-2000 Nexus players
• 1 x Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 four-channel mixer
• Cables to link the players to the mixer

The mixer: DJM-900NXS2

This is where the sound is shaped, and it is the main reason DJs ask for this kit by name.

• 64-bit processing: Pioneer's first use of a 64-bit processor in this mixer line, giving a warmer, more natural sound.
• Finer control: reworked EQs, faders and level controls for more precise adjustment from bass to treble.
• Effects: four added beat effects (ping pong, vinyl break, pitch and helix), a reworked reverb, and three buttons to apply effects to the low, mid or high range only. A sweep filter replaces the older gate and comp effects, and the X-pads have been expanded.
• Four phono inputs and DVS support: turntable users can play vinyl through the mixer using the rekordbox DVS Plus Pack.
• Second USB socket: the next DJ can plug in and be ready before the changeover, so there is no gap in the music.
• iPad effects apps: compatible with FX apps if you want to go beyond the built-in effects.

The players: CDJ-2000 Nexus

Pro-grade players that handle whatever music you bring, from burnt CDs to a USB stick.

• Play from CD, USB or SD: supports MP3, WAV, AAC and AIFF files.
• 6.1" full-colour screen: song titles, album art and a colour waveform you can zoom in and out of, so cueing the next track is quick in a dark room.
• Beat Sync and Quantize: keep tempo and beats lined up between the two players, which helps newer DJs sound tight.
• Slip Mode: scratch, loop or reverse and the track carries on in time underneath, then drops back in when you release.
• Pro DJ Link: link players together over a network cable to share one music source (up to four players).
• rekordbox compatible: prepare playlists, cue points and loops in rekordbox software at home, then play them on the players.

Our recommended speakers: DAS Audio active systems

DJ gear is only half the party. We pair the DJKIT with DAS Audio active speakers, because each speaker has its own amplifier and processing built in. That keeps the rig simple: leads run from the DJM-900NXS2 straight to the speakers, with no separate amp rack to carry or set up.

Pick a speaker package by room size

• House parties and smaller venues: 2 x DAS VANTEC 12A active speakers. Each is a 12" 1500W speaker on a stand. Ask us for a speakers-only quote, since the mixer in the standard package is not needed with the DJKIT.
• Larger rooms and halls: 2 x DAS VANTEC 215A speakers with 2 x VANTEC 18A active subwoofers for stronger bass. Dance music needs it.
• School balls and large venues: the 3700W package of 2 x DAS Avant 15A and 2 x Avant 118A.

Not sure which suits your event? Tell us the room, the number of guests and the type of music, and we will recommend a setup and quote it.

Round it out

• Wireless microphone for speeches, MC announcements and birthday toasts.
• Party and DJ lighting to give the dance floor some atmosphere.
• Delivery and setup by an Edwards technician, or self-collection.
