Pioneer is quite well-known for its high-end audio solutions, and now the company's back with yet another interesting offering for the professional segment, namely the S-DJ08 and S-DJ05 models, both of which target DJing and music production.

According to Pioneer, their compact speakers achieve a larger than normal listening area due to the use of a curved waveguide enclosure that directs the soft-dome tweeter’s sound in a wider pattern for better imaging and staging.

This means more listeners across a larger area of a room can hear the higher frequencies than with traditional designs.

Additionally, the Bass Reflex enclosure extends the lower frequency range to provide more mid-bass and bass output.

In order to reproduce the highest quality audio possible, the speakers are also equipped with strong 10cm high-force magnets (S-DJ08) for better control of the subwoofers, a low resonance chimney-style heat sink and a bi-amp circuit that drives the tweeter and woofer separately.

The linear equalizer allows users to adjust the low and high bands from -6 dB to +6dB helping to enhance the tonal quality of instruments while producing music or recreate the low frequency sound of a club while DJing for a more realistic experience.

Furthermore, the included control accessory allows users to simultaneously operate the volume, power and four switchable input channels of both speakers, while the dial style control knob also engages the equalizer and muting of both speakers.

Both S-DJ08 and S-DJ05 speakers feature four types of inputs (XLR, TRS and two sets of RCA) that let users connect various devices simultaneously, such as a computer, DJ equipment, portable device, etc.

“Whether it’s producing music at home, DJing or simply auditioning music, consumers will realize the high quality sound they’re hearing out of these new Pioneer DJ speakers.

We’ve also added the ability for DJs and producers who have made a career of music performance and enabled them to make quick audio adjustments to volume, power, equalization and channel inputs via a really cool looking manual controller,” said David Arevalo, senior marketing manager, Professional Sound and Visual Division for Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.  

Of course, since we're talking about professional products here, pricing shouldn't come as a surprise, the S-DJ08 and S-DJ05 being set to hit the shelves in January 2011 for a suggested retail price of $1,199/pair and $899/pair, respectively.
