The Pioneer DJM-800 is a small format, digital mixing console, designed to be used by DJs. It can typically be found at the Bop, connected to two CDJ1000s.

Inputs & Outputs

The DJM has 4 digital inputs, which we don't use.

Each channel has two sets of inputs for phono cables, labelled either CD and Line or Line and Phono.

When a line level signal, such as from a CD player or computer, is being used, the source should be connected to the CD inputs in the former case, or Line inputs in the latter. The Digital input select switch should be set to CD or Line. If the input is from CDJs, minijack cables should be used to link the Control input/outputs for the corresponding channels.

Turntables should be connected to the Phono inputs, and their grounding wires attached to the grounding terminals.

Each channel also has an input select switch at the top of the channel strip; ensure this is set to the correct input when setting up.


The desk also has one combined Jack/XLR microphone input, and one Jack-only input for microphones. These can be found on the top, in the upper left hand corner.
