Anaheim, CA NAMM Room #211B January 18, 2007

Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., the leader in cutting edge professional DJ products, is creating an entirely new experience for attendees of the 2007 National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) show with a unique presentation of its past and present DJ equipment. The “Pioneer Experience” will take show goers through Pioneer’s extensive history of products that have transformed the world of disc jockeying into what it has evolved into today.

“We’re out to show our retailers where we’ve been and where we are today with our DJ equipment line. Our display illustrates the progression of technology and serves as a solid reminder of our stake as an industry leader,” said Karl Detken, director of product planning for DJ products at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “Our products will be on display for all to experience, and prove that anyone can bring out their inner DJ.”

The 45’ x 30’ booth will interactively showcase the entire ProDJ line of CD and DVD turntables, mixers and speakers. A special section of the booth is dedicated to historical product milestones, which will pay homage to Pioneer’s long reputation in the music production industry. It will feature the first mixing amplifier (MA-62), the first CD turntable (CDJ-500G) and the first MP3 turntable (DMP-555).

Sure to draw a crowd, an exclusive room at the booth has been transformed to replicate the look and energy of today’s hottest clubs. Throughout the event, special guest DJs will headline this floorshow hot spot. Top DJ personalities such as Sandra Collins, Vello Virkhaus, Chris Cox, Junior Sanchez, Dave Aude, and DJ Swap will showcase the latest Pioneer has to offer while entertaining the masses.
