Pioneer is redefining quality with the release of sleek Platinum Editions of its pro-DJ set up: CDJ-2000NXS-M, DJM-900NXS-M and RMX-1000-M.

The Platinum Collection offers exceptional standout in the booth, with platinum chrome top panels and blue and white LEDs giving them a stylish reflective surface and premium feel. The CDJ-2000NXS-M gets a platinum chrome jog wheel to complete the metallic look, and every Platinum Edition bears a plate inscribed with its unique limited edition serial number.

The club-standard CDJ-2000nexus multiplayer, DJM-900nexus mixer and RMX-1000 remix station already stood out as the next generation in professional performance, offering DJs formidable features to mash up tracks and stamp their unique style on every set.

The CDJ-2000NXS-M player delivers all the highly evolved features of the industry-standard model, including compatibility with rekordboxTM DJ software on smartphones and tablets. The DJM-900NXS-M mixer boasts improved audio output and gold-plated terminals for better sound quality and durability. Completing the set up, the RMX-1000-M has an exclusive Platinum Edition GUI for rekordbox and the compatible VST/AU/RTAS plug-ins.

The exclusive Platinum Edition production run will be limited to 4,000 CDJ-2000NXS-M, and 2,000 each of the DJM-900NXS-M and RMX-1000-M.
