Meet the Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000, a ground breaking state-of-the-art flagship multi-player designed to elevate your DJing experience. This CDJ Player is outfitted with a newly engineered Micro-Processing Unit (MPU), which incorporates top-tier components and a remarkable array of features, allowing DJs to unleash their creativity like never before.
The CDJ3000s are built to endure the most demanding creative challenges. It's the first model to feature an MPU that ensures unparalleled performance stability. This not only supports seamless operation of advanced features but also enhances the overall DJ experience, making actions like loading tracks and Hot Cues faster and more efficient.
Audio playback on this multi-player is second to none, thanks to a cutting-edge audio design that prioritizes clarity and detail. With over 25 years of industry expertise, Pioneer has developed equipment that delivers outstanding sound quality. The CDJ-3000 supports a 96 kHz/32-bit processing speed and accommodates all audio formats, providing extraordinarily clear and precise sound reproduction. Enhanced audio processing technologies offer a realistic depth to spatial and bass sounds, setting a new standard within the Pioneer DJ range.
Pioneer DJ describes the revamped layout as allowing users to engage with the CDJ 3000 in a way that feels almost like playing a musical instrument. The design features eight Hot Cue buttons conveniently located beneath the waveform display, along with Dedicated Beat Jump buttons, Key Sync capabilities, and a new 8-Beat Loop button in addition to the standard 4-Beat option. Constructed from premium aluminum, the top plate features redesigned play, cue, and Hot Cue buttons, enhancing durability and functionality. It also comes equipped with a high-quality digital cable and a lockable V-Lock power cable to prevent interruptions during performances.
Versatile Performance Modes
For versatile performance options, rekordbox-analyzed tracks can be played directly from USB drives using Export Mode. DJs can also utilize Link Export or Performance Mode when connecting to a laptop with USB-HID control. The player acts as a rekordbox Hardware Unlock device, enabling use of the latest software version for performance mode, which allows tracks from the rekordbox library—including those from popular streaming services like SoundCloud Go+, Beatport, and Beatsource LINK—to be played. Furthermore, audio files can be shared and played from USB devices and SD cards, thanks to Pro DJ Link with Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. An iPhone can also be connected via USB, allowing users to mix audio directly from the rekordbox iOS app, supporting numerous file types including MP3 AAC, WAV, FLAC, ALAC, and AIFF.
Since Pioneer first revolutionized the DJ industry in 1994 with the release of the CDJ-500, the CDJ has undergone significant transformation. While the CDJ 3000 introduces a host of innovative features, its core philosophy remains intact: to provide users with an intuitive interface that empowers them to manipulate music in limitless ways.
As music technology continues to progress, Pioneer DJ has consistently led the way. From the flat-top CD DJ Player—a world first (CDJ-500)—to enhancements in performance techniques (CDJ-1000), and the introduction of rekordbox and Pro DJ Link (CDJ-2000), they have continually evolved. The advent of Wave Displays, Beat Sync options, and digital music capabilities paved the way for the acclaimed CDJ-2000NXS2, a favourite among DJs, clubs, and festivals globally. With the launch of the CDJ-3000, Pioneer DJ reaffirms its position as a pioneering force in the music industry.
