The Pioneer XDJ-1000 (MK1) is a historical milestone in DJ gear, released in late 2014 as Pioneer DJ's very first media player to completely ditch the CD drive in favor of a 100% digital, USB-driven workflow. It was designed to offer the exact size, workflow, and full-sized 206mm jog wheel of a club-standard CDJ-2000, but at a much more accessible price point for home studios and mobile setups. [1, 2]Because it moved many physical controls to its 7-inch color touchscreen, it has a clean interface but requires a specific workflow. [1, 2]Key Specifications & Audio Formats
