I keep seeing loads of comments about how the prime 4 is better but I think most people are missing the biggest positive of these decks. They’re perfect for DJ’s who want to be club/rave ready without spending £5.5k on Nexus CDJ’s and Mixer. It’s literally a DJM900 mixer and 2 CDJ’s for a third of the price almost. Learn to play on this and you can DJ on club standard equipment anywhere... nobody uses Denon!

[@officialrivv]

Exactly. People who keep saying "DeNoN" are just trying to be trailblazers and trend-setters. It ain't gonna happen

[@damiengarcia8960]

For this reason I have waited 7 months for my delivery to finally be on its way 🙏

[@dfectv]

I recently played a park party in Oakland that had a Prime 4 on stage to play on. Yeah it's cheaper than an XZ, yeah you can play a set on it, but you really get what you pay for. The Prime 4 feels like a cheap plastic toy and acts like one as well.

[@secretsquirrel2]

[@lgoody7306]

Nah these r better 100%

[@Khromata]

It's the perfect setup for me. I'm a CDJ USB DJ and am most comfortable with the NXS2 setup, but don't want to spend that much for a full setup at home. I've had XDJ 700s, so if I get the XDJ-XZ I'll just use my 700s to create a 4 deck system. This is as close as i'll get to a NXS2 setup at home for now. I'm so happy!!!

[@MrDrop11]

I think its fantastic. I started back in the dj600 days. The quality of sound and effects , screens and ability to play whatever you want is great. Yeah, I wish you could play full stand alone with all 4 decks usb but I never needed more than 2 tables and an effects processor anyway. When I do it, I'd do it for fun and I just added tables as needed.

[@djsmitty717]

Me personally I could careless about not using 4 channels with the usb port I only use 2 channels anyway. I'm just happy that it has the Nexus jog wheels and you don't need a laptop. I'm sold!

[@hunterleggitt2950]

Great review! Have had this unit for a couple of weeks and love it... well most of it. Pioneer needs to humbly acknowledge the MISTAKE not having 4 USB channel ability on launch and correct it fast. I can't imagine this is more than a 'simple' firmware update. Unless they're knowingly holding out for something down the road, which would be pretty shady and make this unit half-ass considering it should absolutely be able to do it all looking at the competition. PIONEER - please email us an update next month and make this thing do what it should do. Then i'd give it 10/10!

[@moonte7933]

Best review i ve seen on this piece of kit

[@Weaver_Games]

For me this unit is good. I still play vinyl so 2 digital channels and 2 phono works for me. That said I absolutely cannot believe they're still using that jittery POS 15fps 7" display with the plastic cover. It seems positively ancient now-a-days when 60fps phones are the small format displays everyone uses every day.

[@Crossfader]

Please note at 22:45 the double tap shift to access decks 3 and 4 in HID mode isn't a feature available until early 2020. To access these decks, press SHORTCUT, you can then change the DECK by press the DECK SELECT button in the centre display. (Note: you may not be able to see these buttons/selection when using USB key playback)

[@x2805]

What happens then, might i ask, if someone is paying on us s, and a second dj comes with a laptop?

Hi, is it ok to have only one screen for both playeres like on pioneer XZ ? I mean for a DJ is it important to have two screens on both players ?

[@DjSteve1978]

Very good detailed review of yet another fine product from Pioneer. I am eager as anything to go check out its performance face to face now more than ever. I’m just a little annoyed of the limitations as we all get but overall yep I’m loving it!!

[@Heretic44]

The best part about this machine is that it brings all the features of a nexus 900 mixxer and it has the jogwheels of a 3000. It may not do everything that 2x 3000s and a 900 will do but its only a fraction of the price. You really can't complain. If you want more, pay for more but you certainly get a good bang for your buck. Considering all skills are directly transferable over to the full individual setup

[@KaneNelson]

Thanks, Jamie. I'm getting back into Dj'ing having nearly 10 years out (kids) and found your videos really useful as I'm behind with all the latest tech. I've just purchased one of these units (awaiting delivery) so this review has been very helpful indeed. I agree that the ability to use a single USB stick across all 4 decks is disappointing, although, that said, I already had prepared to use my laptop with Rekordbox as I like the screen size, layout and overall GUI better than the XDJ-XZ GUI.

[@spiritlevelstudios]

Do you still have your gear? How is it?

[@BrianDeCosta]

Just bought this today and traded in the RX2. Embarrassingly enough I found out after messing with it for 10 minutes that I couldn't use the 4 decks in standalone 😭 nonethless I'm still grateful to have this new machine... the upgraded jogs are epic

[@spiritlevelstudios]

What the hell? Does this refer just to USB? So if you want 4 x USB channels you need to connect a laptop? But if you connect 2 x external multiplayer decks then you can standalone USB x 4, right? So you mean you found that you couldn't use the 4 channels, not the 4 decks, as there are only 2 decks, unless you connected 2 more external.

[@djdommenjay]

@@spiritlevelstudios yes basically. USB = 2 channels standalone unless cdj/turntable attached to channel 3 and 4. If you don’t own any cdjs/turntables then you need to connect a laptop for channel 3 and 4 on the xz

Great review as ever guys! I love this controller. Best investment I made. Using my laptop I can access all 4 channels which is a massive bonus!

I had the DDJ-RZ and upgrade to this unit, the thing I really miss is the stop on the Hotcue. So you can set the hotcue when release it, it jumpsback and stops playing. (like the standard cue works). The rest is great! Iam very happy with it!

[@SystemController]

I've never touched a controller, I've always had CDJ's and a separate mixer (Non Pioneer) but I wanted to move forward but I didn't want to use a laptop, I wanted a stand alone system. I also have a pair of PLX1000's which, I think, would be an amazing addition. I've put a deposit down yesterday as there doesn't seem to be any in the country so I will have to wait for the next shipment, I've been been told that's end of May, beginning of June. Great review, thank you.

[@dppopov]

Yet again - noting special for a lot of money. Pioneer are masters at this game. I think the only two Pioneer controllers that used to make sense upon release are DDJ-SX and DDJ-1000. I cannot see the competition in there... Denon are doing way better products and we got this as a response?!?! at a higher price?!?!?

[@scufrecords8356]

But I agree this should have been a proper 4 channel mixer

[@dreamsound_]

I can't find a price on this, how much is it?

[@alexrfrequency]

Krystoff Evans £2869 😕

[@TheRealSweedie]

I disagree, this is a perfect setup for a club that has different DJs playing that uses different options. One may prefer straight USB, others may use Rekordbox on a computer, and others may use Serato - this gives a plug and play option for essentially everyone to just come in and play without having them bring their own equipment in

[@brandonunger1689]

Yeah, I don't get it either. It's 4 channels...but it's really 2 channels. My head hurts thinking about this product. Especially when Denon Prime 4 has wife, SSD option and is actually a 4 channel standalone. I'm so confused on their logic ....ugh

[@djstacktrace]

I bought this unit and it's a big change for me. I came from DVS on an S9 and I do quite a bit of scratching, so I'm used to 12" decks and visually seeing which deck is playing simply by looking at the turntables. Now that I bought it, I realize what I really want is mechanical, probably something similar to the Denon SC6000M, but I don't want to pay $1700 apiece for those, although I think it would be great to have 2 SC6000M's to use with my S9. Long story short: scratch DJ's - if you're making the switch from DVS to "CDJ" beware that these jogwheels are not as accurate as DVS. It's close enough, but leaves something to be desired. Also, my unit shipped with a bad headphone port, so I had to ship it back for a new one...

[@djstacktrace]

I was also quite surprised at the poor build quality of the jog wheels. Maybe you CDJ guys are used to it, but I expected something that didn't feel like cheap plastic. It also makes a lot of noise when it spins. I prefer Technics 1200 build quality and zero noise...

[@djfiftysix5456]

Thanks Crossfader for you review. I’m not a pioneer controller fanboi, but I did wanted to know how Pioneer Dj was going to respond to the Denon dj units. Pioneer is doing the Apple thing - that is making the same type products, little changes, and state OUR CULT WILL BUY ANYTHING WE SALE!!! Can you imagine what was said in the corporate meeting when they decided to make this unit. I bet you there was one person in the meeting saying “All pioneer dj units screens are dated, can we have a better resolution. Or “our users keep asking for a 4 channels standalone, can we create that?” Or “can we change the look just a bit because it looks like our old dj units?” The big boss said “HELL NAH, SIT YOU ASS DOWN!!! Lol But on a real note all this companies do this same place thing(coming up short and not giving us what we want), it is not only Pioneer Dj.

With all these features pioneer added, how hard would have it been to make it 4 channel standalone lol

This will be a huge hit on exactly the groups of users you described. I’m interested in dj software control as well. Its bizarre that to swap layers you have to double tap the shift button.

[@pedromanafaia]

Great review many thanks. Very informative and detailed, just the way it should be. So many haters here. Not quite sure why. As a start, not many DJs actually do something worthwhile listening to with more than 2 decks anyway. It's a fact!!! Oh the egos will be offended. Sorry about that... For me 2 usb channels only is not a deal breaker, more of a "would be nice to have 4 type thing". This is a very nice way of owning two CDJ 2000 NX2 and a DJM900 NX2 without the capital outlay needed to buy the separate units. If one can't see that, perhaps one is not in the business of playing with truly standard pro dj gear... It is an appealing product in my personal view. Pioneer has been in the game of DJ gear for many years, they know what they are doing. I currently own a DDJ 1000 (great controller who I use on a regular basis when hired with my own equipment) and I will be seriously considering a swap for one of these.

[@echno4727]

I just managed to find one still in stock. Great controller, mixing 2 decks is mostly all I need If I plan to use more I'll plug my laptop in..or add a vinyl deck or two (crazy how hard that is). Looks incredible feels incredible and plays incredible. As you say it basically mimics the club standard but is over 1k less lol. Very happy with my purchase. If pioneer brings out something that is 4 in 1 and a better touch screan with say beat port link streamed in to it then i'd think about upgrading until that point I'm more than happy with this. Even if I loose £500/£1000 over 12/18 months I will have had my moneys worth! it's the same as having a car in my eyes, they loose value new models come out.. but for the time you have them nice and new they are amazing.

[@StefanInstall]

This is the machine I was waiting for! Yes, dual layer decks would be better but you can use four decks by connecting a laptop and you don’t have to have the screen up. While the Prime 4 is better in many regards, I really want kit that mirrors the NEXUS2 setup so I can swap seamlessly from a home set-up to a NEXUS2 setup in a club and this is that machine. It also can be plugged straight into a PA for a mobile setup for parties. Oh, and let’s not forget the full-size job-wheels; the ones on the Prime4 are pitifully small... Also, while this is expensive, it’s actually less than a DJM900NXS2 and has 95% of the features plus two quality decks.

[@StefanInstall]

Also, you get to use Rekordbox for music management rather than the lamentable Engine Prime. Denon may have nailed the hardware but their software is borderline trash and the rekordbox integration is clunky. Gimme Rekordbox and a NEXUS2 layout any day of the week, I can fudge decks 3 and 4 with a laptop if needs be.

[@parrogakaparadise9477]

Without 4-channel standalone I’ll be sticking to my trusty RX2. I can see the point if you want to add the 2 physical decks eg 2 secondhand CDJs. Jog wheel and Beat FX upgrades from RX2 are quite nice I suppose.

I really like some aspects like the gate fx, the hi mid and lo fx frequencies, and that it can be on serato and redbox.

The biggest selling point for this unit is that is both Rekordbox and Serato capable that’s huge since I use Rekordbox but most djs use serato

[@kereamohau]

At first I wasn't sold on this, but now the bar I'm resident at is looking to upgrade. I was gonna tell them to get the XDJ-RX2 but they might as well get this. It ain't my money

[@Hadjas_Music]

It’s actually a good product if you are going to use Toraiz SP-16 and AS-1 (or similar) for those two channels. I know so many DJ‘s who owns 4 channel Decks and use only 2...max 3.

[@mrt5017]

Great vid. Looks awesome but a bit complex for me right now. What other units are there you can play from usb? Ones that are a bit simpler like sb 3 or 4

[@MichaelBESTMAN]

Thank you

[@djlarneyp1]

Insane !!!!

[@djtwingi8912]

This is superb....😊😊😊😊

[@kereamohau]

Once again it's a win for the Denon Prime 4.

[@jbiz4517]

[@Suntdy007]

It’s a big W for the the prime 4

Hi - I currently have a nxs2 set up / DJM900nxs2 mixer and was wanting a 3rd cdj (been holding off for th nx3 to be released). This product looks like a cheaper option to get 4cdj for less the price than a new cdj. Would you advice selling off my mixer & purchasing this unit or just go down the route of a new cdj. I only bedroom dj but like top quality equipment to mix on. cheers

[@spiritlevelstudios]

What did you end up doing, may I ask?

[@Laxlii]

been waiting for the XDJ RR to have booth output and the XDJ XZ to utilize 4 channels on standalone.

[@austinredman2691]

I just bought a DDJ 1000 and I already want to sell it now and get this!

[@matrixplace]

Dont do this, it's useless, your laptop has bigger screen than this.

[@forumsnowsoldier]

Don't.

[@theblackesthat7833]

Dont sell the ddj 1000s man keep them they are way better system than this cash cow.

[@mardyd1]

I have the ddj1000 bro dont do it!!!!! you lose so much with this big ass controller!!!! You'll miss alot of the features the 1000 has compared to this.....trust me!!!!

[@h1u2h3n]

A little more of an upgrade (except the price) would be nice. Guess I'd prefere an xdj player setup over this (if only I could afford any of these) 😁 Plus I love my ddj 1000 btw

[@djcarlosalicea1638]

Question: apart from the "club standard" setup (I love how the effects are layout), and jogs (never have used mechanical so don't miss them), the Prime 4 seems a better value power x$. The question would be, knowing that I like the Pioneer setup, will I just wait for a Pioneer next generation, or jump to Denon?

[@omarw007]

The thing i love most about this controller is thatvit might drive the price down on the rx2 which will be awesome

[@djmannyleon9204]

Lol that would be nice but unfortunately that never happens. Pioneer never discounts their products

[@JP-qb8qx]

Fingers crossed, mate.

[@larryzuniga7741]

Hi, great review! Can you confirm if these are 14 bit tempo faders? How precise are pitch increments? I guess this info will tell if the gap between controllers and cdj has been closed. This is an interesting piece of gear for people who use professional gear. Personally Ive lost money trying out controllers that just dont cut it precision wise. If this controllers does actually share this in common with cdjs it means some artists dont have to go out and spend 5g on players that only clubs have ease to acquire.

[@ap9388]

I said a month ago after decided to get the DDJ 1000 that Pioneer will probably put out a new controller very soon. I was thinking it’ll be put out in 2020 but NOPE. XDJ XZ looks proper!

[@lionelchanis9774]

I’m wondering if it’s recommended to be upgraded from the DDJ SZ2? I’ve been DJing with my SZ2 for a few years and I’m kinda stuck to it. I see both have it’s pros and cons so I’m wondering if it’s worth to be upgraded.

[@jackedkerouac4414]

I'm seriously considering moving to a bigger place so I'll have the space for one of these

[@djrgee]

Waiting for the CDJ lineup upgrade, maybe CDJ-2000NXS3 or XDJ-1000MK3

[@agbstudios]

Hi Crossfader, I found this video to be the best and most comprehensive review on the XDJ-XZ. Thankyou! Could you please provide the full track ID (title, remix, artist) for "1, 2, Step". I can't find the remix anywhere on Apple iTunes in Australia. Would be greatly appreciated.
