Today Pioneer introduced the next generation MP3 compatible CDJ-1000MK3 and CDJ-800MK2 CD Decks.

With the best quality audio complemented by intuitive precision vinyl emulation, the CDJ-1000MK2 is established as the world’s standard CD deck: performance that’s evolving with the CDJ-1000MK3. The new deck provides full MP3 compatibility, a HOT LOOP feature, ‘JOG feeling adjust’ and improved presentation of track and WAVE data. With refinements to the CDJ-800MK2 also headlined by MP3, the new decks round out a Pioneer CD/DVD DJ range that’s fully digital and MP3-ready.
‘The CDJ-1000MK2 became the industry standard CD player through input from leading DJs across the world and they’ve again advised us on the new modifications that will advance digital DJ’ing,’ comments Jason Pook, Product Planning Manager, Pioneer Europe. ‘We have evolved the standard with the “MK3” by improving the presentation of track data, adding features like “JOG feeling adjust” and including MP3 compatibility. DJs seeking the ultimate sonic performance will use audio files. But with MP3 we’ve added convenience and immediacy – music is easier to transport and access via a growing number of MP3 download sites such as Djdownload.com and Beatport.com.’
