Critic Reviews

Pioneer DJ CDJ-900NXS Media Player Review - Digital DJ Tips

digitaldjtips.com

The Pioneer CDJ-900NXS is a solid media player that packs much of the CDJ-2000NXS's functionality into a more affordable package, with a sleek design and Nexus connectivity. DJs will appreciate its versatility, as it can play tracks from CDs, USB, and even stream over WiFi with Rekordbox compatibility. While it lacks some ergonomic features and has a flat display with a lower refresh rate, it still offers a great balance for those willing to compromise on some luxuries. A great option if you can forgo the CD player for even cheaper alternatives.

Great control integration with Rekordbox

The 2nd generation model, the Nexus builds on the success of the CDJ-900 as the slightly cutdown alternative to the CDJ-2000 range. While the unit doesn't boast an SD card slot, when used as a control surface for the Rekordbox DJ software, this doesn't really matter. The screen is obviously different but again this doesn't really matter if you are using the player as a software controller. Other minor differences are the replacement of hot cues with auto loop recalls, a combined platter start/stop speed dial instead of separate controls and a reverse button instead of toggle switch. However with a standard CDJ layout, the player is very natural feeling way of controlling DJ software, especially Rekordbox which it has native compatibility with. If you can live without the hot cue buttons and want to save a few pennies, the CDJ-900NXS is a great alternative to the flagship model.
