The Pioneer DJ DJM-S11 is a professional 2-channel battle mixer for Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox. A 4.3-inch touchscreen, 4-deck control, 22 Beat FX, large performance pads, Smooth Echo and the MAGVEL FADER PRO make it one of Pioneer DJ’s most advanced scratch mixers.

4.3-inch touchscreen
The central touchscreen can show waveforms, browse tracks, control effects and access MIDI functions without forcing the DJ back to the laptop. It can also provide Deck 3/4 control, allowing extra software decks to be mixed from a nominally two-channel battle setup.
22 Beat FX and Smooth Echo
The S11 includes 22 Beat FX and can also trigger software effects. Smooth Echo can be assigned to a selected fader or pad so an echo activates automatically during a transition or scratch routine.
Performance pads and Scratch Bank
Eight large pads support Serato and rekordbox performance modes. Combo Pad mode can combine several pad functions, while Scratch Bank gives direct access to pre-assigned scratch samples.
MAGVEL FADER PRO
The crossfader is designed for intensive scratch use, with adjustable feel and reinforced construction. Pioneer DJ says the vertical rigidity was increased over the previous S9 design.
