Pioneer DJ DJM-S5The DJM-S5 is a scratch-style 2-channel DJ mixer for Serato DJ Pro. It offers offers the perfect balance of straightforward operation and exciting performance features so DJs who are less experienced can spice up their mixes right away.
Intuitive scratch-style layout and features inherited from professional battle mixers
- -MAGVEL FADER PRO crossfader: With the popular MAGVEL FADER PRO crossfader, DJs can use Feeling Adjust to tweak the “weight” and get their perfect level of resistance. It’s highly robust too.
- -Effect levers: The 2 large effect levers can be used to control up to 57 effects in Serato DJ Pro (including paid Expansion Packs). The levers are the same size as those on the flagship DJM-S11 and can be held down or released to turn the effect on / off, or locked on so the DJ’s hands are free to browse and scratch tracks while the effect is still applied. There are also 2 banks where effects can be saved for quick access.
- -Performance Pads: DJs can get creative and experiment with 13 pad modes including Hot Cue and Sampler. The 4 Performance Pads on each deck, which measure 20.6 mm x 20.6 mm, can be used to trigger samples, “remix” tracks, and add texture to the music.
Brand-new features for easy scratching
Anyone can start scratching as soon as they plug in the DJM-S5, even if they have no experience. With the brand-new Scratch Cutter feature, DJs can simply move the control vinyl or jog wheel on a deck (when using DVS control) and the mixer will apply their choice of 6 cutting patterns to the sample or track in perfect time with the beat – there’s no need to move the crossfader. And, with another new feature on the mixer – Crossfader Hot Cue – DJs can create a scratch-like sound by simply moving the crossfader.
USB bus power and standalone mixer versatility for playing anywhere
The DJM-S5 is the first-ever Pioneer DJ mixer that can be powered via the USB connection to a computer. So, DJs who use portable turntables have the freedom to practice and perform literally anywhere they can carry their decks to: a garden, park, or even the beach. It works as a standalone mixer too, for playing music from a variety of sources such as analog vinyl records.
Brand-new design
The top plate of the DJM-S5 is split into bright red gloss and black sections with contrasting detailing and black controls and buttons to create the look of a musical instrument. There’s also a transparent window on the front plate that shows off the inner workings of the MAGVEL FADER PRO.
Serato DJ Pro and DVS plug-and-play compatibility
By simply plugging the DJM-S5 into a PC / Mac running the Serato DJ Pro application, DJs can use the software for free, including a host of professional performance features. The mixer also offers free support for Serato DVS. And there’s no need for external equipment such as a soundcard if DJs want to stream sets and add speech or vocals to their performances. All sounds are sent to the stream via Serato DJ Pro.
