    The MEP-7000 is a compact, easy-to-transport professional multi-entertainment player, inheriting the basic functions and operability of the popular Pioneer CDJ- series turntables.

    In addition to playback of conventional music from CD/CD-ROM/DVD-ROM discs, the MEP-7000 enables users to play MP3/AAC files stored on various memory media formats.

    The dual-player is extremely convenient for DJs performing in an environment where space dedicated for the jock is limited and flexible media playback is a must, such as a café or bar where various parties or events are held.

    The system also enables DJs to easily create and set up pre-programmed play lists for “gigs” at such times as a dinner hour set or a break.


    MEP-7000 Product Overview

    Flexible Audio Format Playback: As well as playback of traditional audio compact discs, the MEP-7000 supports MP3*1/AAC/WAV*2/AIFF*2 stored in a USB memory devices, hard disc drive (HDD) and CD-R/RW and DVD±R/RW allowing for easy playback of existing music libraries and new digital downloads.

    4.3-Inch Colour LCD & Intelligent Graphical User Interface: In addition to the high-resolution 4.3-inch colour LCD panel, an intelligent graphic user interface and rotary selector enables rapid track search through large collections of digital audio files. A play list function also speeds the track selection process for recalling frequently played songs.

    Control Functions for Pioneer’s DJ software (DJS3) and Other PC Applications: The MEP-7000 includes Pioneer’s DJS all-in-one DJ software application for playback from a Windows based computer (PC not included). When the system is connected to the DJS, no mouse or keyboard is required for navigation and DJ performance. The MEP-7000 also supports control of other software, such as SERATO Scratch LIVE*4, without the need of the control discs. It can also act as a full MIDI controller for any MIDI-compatible PC application.

    Scratch Jog Effect and Digital Jog Break enhance DJ performance: In addition to traditional scratching, the MEP-7000 also features two patterns of Scratch Jog Effects – BUBBLE5 and TRANS5. Three patterns of Digital Jog Break effects freely control the audio effects according to the rotation of the jog dial – JET*6 / ROLL*6 / WAH*6 broadening the scope of any DJ performance.

    Auto Mix Function: An auto mix function automatically mixes playback of the tracks registered on the play list in four modes such as ECHO or ZIP. Audio is seamlessly beat-matched and mixed on the fly.
