The Pioneer DJ CDJ-900NXS (Nexus) is a professional multi-format digital media player and DJ deck. Originally launched in December 2013, it serves as the club-standard bridge model, packing much of the operational tech of the premium CDJ-2000NXS into a slightly stripped-down, more budget-friendly frame.
