Powerful Mixer with Comfortable 2-channel Design

Stay in your comfort zone while tapping into Pioneer DJ's awesome effects, with the 2-channel DJM-450 DJ mixer. This mixer includes Pioneer's 2-mode, 3-band EQs and extensive analog I/O, accommodating any traditional DJ setup. On the digital side, there's an on-board collection of Sound Color FX and Beat FX. You can also tap into your mobile device's audio processing via a dedicated USB send/return loop. Top it off with a wonderful 24-bit sound card and full licenses for rekordbox dj software with the rekordbox DVS expansion, and you're ready to step up your rig.

Streamlined design for comfortable mixing

In many ways, the DJM-450 is Pioneer's back-to-basics 2-channel mixer, even though its feature set makes it perfect for all kinds of DJ rigs. The thing that makes the DJM-450 so easy to use is its traditional, streamlined layout. Both channels include in-line trim, EQ, effects, cues, and faders, so you can practically operate this mixer blindfolded. Whether you're reaching for an EQ knob or cranking up the Sound Color FX, everything you need is right where you need it to be.

Premium build quality at your fingertips

Any seasoned DJ will agree that you can tell a lot about a piece of gear by how it feels in your hands. That's why Sweetwater DJs love the DJM-450 and all its siblings — Pioneer DJ doesn't even know how to produce cheap-feeling gear. Each knob is easy to grip (even with sweaty hands) and feels smooth yet totally solid. Dual metal shafts offer superior support for the knobs as well. As for faders, you have to love the contact-free Magvel design, which uses a magnetic system to deliver effortlessly smooth action for a lifetime of performance.

EQ and effects to enhance your mix

Pioneer DJ mixers are widely renowned for their amazing dual-mode EQs and awesome onboard effects. Choose from +6/-16dB or infinity isolator modes to suite your mixing style. Speaking of style, the DJM-450's Sound Color FX replace the traditional channel filter knob with a multi-effects control that can add noise, sweep, dub echo, and filtering, providing you with seriously cool ways to spice up your transitions. Top it off with a selection of eight Beat FX that can automatically lock to the tempo of your tunes and the DJM-450 brings a ton of sonic firepower to your rig.

Bundled with rekordbox dj with DVS

Pioneer's rekordbox dj with rekordbox DVS software gives you the power to create stunning shows and manipulate music perfectly on the fly. Whether you're rocking a pair of XDJ or CDJ digital decks or spinning control vinyl on analog turntables, this powerhouse DJ platform gives you total control over your music, with the precision control you need and the functions and effects you want. Looping, slicing, hot cues, killer effects, easy beat matching — you name it, it's in rekordbox dj, and your Pioneer DJ DJM-450 gives you direct access to it.

Impressive sound quality and I/O

If you're looking for serious flexibility and professional sound quality from your DJ mixer, then the DJM-450 won't disappoint. For starters, its gold-plated RCA jacks let you connect DJ gear, while RCA and balanced XLR outputs accommodate any PA system. A separate microphone input, which has its own tone control, and aux input complete the analog I/O. Under the hood, there's a powerful 64-bit digital signal processor plus an onboard sound card with 24-bit AD/DA converters. What's more, you can connect your tablet or smartphone via an additional USB port to use it as an external send/return effects processor.

Pioneer DJ DJM-450 Mixer Features:

  • Easy-to-use DJ 2-channel DJ mixer with onboard effects and sound card

Waiting but worth it

This Pioneer Mixer was out of stock, I got on the waiting list and received an email. I just on it and it was well worth the wait. This is not a beginner or club mixer but with all the bells and whistles, it comes with….gives you extra for a small package. The staff at Sweetwater was amazing as usual, follow up phone call and the sweets included in the package….thanks again sweetwater

DO IT.

If you're at all in the market for a 2 channel mixer, this is the best recommendation I think anyone can offer. Having the Pioneer quality in such a small form factor is great. Having everything derive from a NXS2 setup means that almost everything you do in practice will translate when you perform on them, also. And the added benefit of the Rekordbox licenses is great too.

The only 2 features that could make this mixer even better would be the addition of a booth output, and a link port for use with CDJ's. But the headphone output is loud enough that even on larger stages, a booth output isn't quite necessary; and when used with a laptop, the link capabilities aren't necessary.

If you're looking for something with great quality, good effects, and something that resembles Pioneer's larger mixers but without the need for 4 channels- this is the answer. I have experience with both the 900NXS2, and my little 450. And the experience and fun of performing is practically the same.
