Pioneer S-DJ08
Pioneer SDJ08 Active Monitor Speakers (Pair)
The Pioneer SDJ08 active reference speakers are designed specifically with DJ/Producers in mind.
Harnessing Pioneer’s long-standing history of speaker production, SDJ08 deliver accurate, neutral sound professionals can rely on, while their innovative features make them adaptable for all your studio roles. Whether you are DJing, producing music or auditioning tracks, the SDJs deliver the high-quality sound you would expect from Pioneer. A built-in linear equalizer enables you to fine-tune the frequency to suit your activity, while a unique input switching function enables effortless movement between four separate sources. Plus these are the first speakers that can change settings using an external manual controller. Tested and perfected by renowned international DJs including Steve Mac and Paul Woolford, the SDJs boast the clarity, quality and flexibility to meet the demands of today’s DJ come producer. With their sleek design and gun metal woofer and controller, they are the ideal addition to your studio.
Loaded with technology to ensure perfect sound reproduction To achieve accurate reproduction of the original source, and robust low frequency sound, the SDJs are equipped with a 10cm high-force magnet and a low resonance chimney-style heat sink. The speakers connect your music production and DJ set-ups directly to an integrated bi-amp circuit, which drives the tweeter and woofer independently, ensuring perfect clarity and no loss of quality.
The first studio speakers to enable changes in settings through one controller The SDJ08 are the first speakers to allow DJs and producers to control their settings at the touch of a button. The elegant controller lets you adjust the volume, mute the speakers, switch audio inputs and turn the EQ on and off from one remote location. And joining the speakers together with a link cable means any adjustments need only be made once.
Built-in linear equaliser takes away the hassle of a sub-mixer The speakers’ built-in linear equalizer adjusts the frequency characteristics in the low and high bands from -6 dB to +6dB, without the added expense of a sub-mixer. Whether you are DJing, creating, or listening to music, the SDJs let you fine-tune the sound to suit your needs. Compare your latest productions in the mix by switching to your decks and mixing them with released material, then switch on the EQ to recreate the characteristics of hi-fi speakers and the big club sound.
Unrivalled flexibility through four-input switching The SDJs are the only speakers to enable switching between four audio terminals. The speakers can adapt to any home studio situation, so you can alternate between computers, DJ equipment and other devices without the inconvenience of reconnecting.
Total mute function to preserve volume settings as a frame of reference Unlike competitor speakers, which tend to offer only partial mute, the SDJs feature a total mute option. This allows DJs and producers to mute the sound without adjusting the volume so you can easily return to mixing or creating tracks at your preferred volume settings, preserving your frame of reference.
Tweeter and sound axis control delivers a wide sweet spot The waveguide shape of the tweeter and sound axis control guarantee wide directivity, so you pick up the high-quality sounds wherever you are positioned.

Sound Diffusers are designed to scatter or disperse sound waves, thereby reducing standing waves and echoes and creating a better listening environment. Adding sound diffusion to your acoustic room treatment can improve the speech intelligibility and improve the overall listening environment within the room without adding excessive amounts of sound absorption materials to the room.
Effective use of sound diffusers is often the first step in treating a room’s acoustics. Sound diffusers are designed to redirect or disperse sound waves to lessen the number of standing waves or echoes, resulting in an improved listening environment. The use of sound absorbers alone in a room can create a cavernous feeling. Combining sound diffusers with sound absorbers improves speech intelligibility as well as the overall listening environment.
Sound diffusion in a control room imparts the all-important Initial Time Delay (ITD) that keeps early reflections off room boundaries from getting to your ears too soon and smearing the direct sound you hear from your monitors. In conjunction with sound absorption, sound diffusion can effectively turn virtually any space into one that is appropriate and useful for the purpose of recording or monitoring sound with a high degree of accuracy.
DJ JEZZ
DJ Jezz started spinning vinyls back in 2004 at house parties and Wedding Function’s before he entered the night life entertainment. His music knowledge spans from 80s to 90s and current R&B Hip Hop alongside with Bollywood, Bhangra. This has given him the advantage to hype any crowd at any place and where ever he spins. He was the guess at Bollywood Club, Sahara, Rupie Room, Absolute Bangsar, Topaz, Friends, Mumbai Se and Oscar. He was also the official DJ for Astro’s ZEE NITE 2010 after party for Bollywood stars at Sunway Hotel. He is also a producer and currently working on his own urban Bhangra album featuring local and international artists.
DJ KAY
A typical start of this music junkie and all he did & still does is for the love of music. Started back in 1993 where the ‘New Jack Swing Era’ was pumping up clubbers veins and he was grooving it at his first Club in Damansara Utama called the ever famous ‘Colours Fun Pub’ where he laid his hitz for the floor as people grooved to his tunes. After a year he jumped to another club in SS3 called ‘Jay’s Goes Montreux’ where he spills the retro tunes for a year and decided to go offshore where all the parties was on board. He shuffled himself to the Berjaya Holidays Coral Princess Cruise Ship where to prove to holiday goers that parties also happens when you’re far away from land & he proved it right for a year !!!
I guess he missed Malaysia too much and decided to come back and went up to Kuantan where ‘Lipps Boom Boom Room’ was the most happening club around. Had enough of the scene there and came back to central for good as he was spinning at ‘Pyramid Dance Club’ in Damansara Heights where the crowd was into the hitz he laid on the decks while Bangsar became famous and he got the opportunity to spin at ‘Mr Bongos’. He understood the clubberz even more after experiencing the flavas of clubbers from land & offshore. He knew exactly what to play & when to play it keeping clubberz wanting more !!
DJ KAY slowed down for while & went fun pub style under the Contract holder DJ Fresh from ‘RED104.9’. He laid hitz from the Top 40’s, 2 step music to the legendary Marvin Gaye. A club called ‘Carnegies’ in Bangsar came along teaming up with DJ VICK-Z throwing party hitz from the 70’s & 80’s as it was a club with a motto ‘Bringing Back the 80’s’. A DJ console of a fiery Volkswagen made it more fun as crowd started pounding everyday for the music he & DJ VICK-Z laid on the decks.
After ‘Carnegies’ he then made ‘RP Entertainment Centre’ in Hyaat Saujana Subang his place & stayed on for a few years before heading up to ‘Uncle Chillies Fun Pub’ in Hilton PJ for a year, Head DJ at ‘Soda Club’ in Hartamas for 6 months & headed back to ‘RP Saujana Resort’ on popular demand by the patrons. DJ KAY has done his share of traveling, spinning in Kuala Lumpur for special nights at the ‘Sugar Club’, ‘Ivy’, ‘Modjo’, ‘Baze Renaissance’ & massive variety of events on various occasions. These special events have given DJ KAY nothing but great musical experiences to offer the Music community. With music knowledge from the 70’s to the latest NuSoul Flavas of R&B and House Music, he rocks any given crowdby the selection he plays.
DJ KAY has an outstanding knack for reading a crowd and knowing exactly what to throw down to capture that special something without rinsing the obvious anthems. Pleasing the crowd as always, DJ KAY likes to fuse chunky retro beats around paced up Motown grooves and huge build ups. His quick mixing style hears him fly through over 35 tracks in an hour causing a relentless barrage of euphoria and drive.
See what he’s got as he’ll blow your mind away !!!
