DJM
Pioneer DJ's mixer line — widespread in clubs.
Detailed explanation
DJM is Pioneer DJ's mixer product line. The DJM-900NXS2 and the DJM-A9 are among the most common mixers in professional clubs worldwide. A DJM mixer typically has 4 channels, high-quality kill EQs, a booth output, beat FX with many options and send/return for external gear. The EQ logic (high/mid/low, 12 o'clock neutral) is the same one you learn on the FLX2 — get comfortable there and a DJM will not surprise you.

In practice
The mixer in a club booth is where everything comes together: two or four channels, EQ per channel, a filter, effects, the headphone path, the booth output. Anyone who has only practised on a controller spends the first minutes looking for knobs. The quickest shortcut is to walk through one channel strip before the first gig — gain, EQ, filter, fader, cue. After that the rest is habit.
