Overview
Just yesterday we reviewed the Pioneer DJM-250MK2 mixer and today we have the older sibling in the lab for the same review treatment. The Pioneer DJM-450 is a compact but solid two-channel mixer with Beat FX, Sound Color FX, and Rekordbox DVS compatibility straight out of the box. The DJM-450 actually has the same footprint as the DJM-250MK2, but it has a lot more features which is also reflected in the price. Pioneer has packed so many features into the DJM-450 that many are calling it a two-channel version of their mighty DJM club standard mixers.
