The OPUS-QUAD puts professional DJs in control of their music, creating harmony between design, musical playability, and offers multiple advanced features such as standalone 4-deck playback. All this combines to provide a spectacular DJ experience that DJs can harness to inspire their audience in any space or location.
The OPUS-QUAD has a unique look. A unique fan shaped, sloping top plate not only looks sophisticated, but also enhances the operation and comfort during play.

[@Crossfader]

"in the standalone world... this thing stands alone" WELL👏PLAYED, 👏SIR

[@NickSpinelli]

Haha my first dad joke!! 🤣 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@BillClinton228]

In conclusion, they took the DJ-XZ, added usb-c, slapped a bigger screen, added two more screens and updated the software. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice piece of kit, but theres nothing new or revolutionary for the price. Personally, I'm still working with the DDJ-1000 and I've yet to see a new controller that will impress me enough to upgrade.

[@alanaban3519]

Lacking internal storage as a sata drive

[@ToniRawGazer]

8k for a stand alone controller, rather pay the extra and get the cdj 3000

[@ToniRawGazer]

@Charles13X in Australia to buy the unit 8k

[@JustinJacobsjustlove]

I feel like this is more of a high end, in home, art piece. Like you're the DJ that displays this in their living room for guests when they come over.

[@renechang2406]

That's it. It's just to floss the equipment. Eye candy but if your dj skills suck. No ear candy. Cheers 🥂mate lol.

[@kellyaustin7487]

It's a night club piece.

[@karomusic3039]

home , private parties, clubs also but not for big gigs when u need real cdjs and mixer

[@BoydEntYYC]

To me, it looks like Pioneer designed this to be the center piece of a Hi-Fi system in some ones living room rather than in a nightclub or mobile DJ's set up.

[@Mojaxx]

Great review Nick, love hearing your perspectives on this, and I’m excited to see more videos like it from you!

[@NickSpinelli]

Thanks so much Mojaxx!! Means a lot coming from the goat of reviews 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@apexpredator_jku]

Didn't you say the x-fader wasn't a Magvel in your review? Yet Nick is saying it's the newest gen Magvel. Which is it?

[@dwizl7213]

​@@apexpredator_jku Crossfader review said it wasn't a Magvel as well in their review

[@NickSpinelli]

@@apexpredator_jku it is not a magvel. I was told wrong and since edited it out of my review

[@richardchaffer3461]

This unit seems to meet all my specific DJ needs of the XZ & Rx3 combined and I agree with you on the look of it, looks good. Reminds of the wood side panelling on some classic synthesisers. Top review - love your style!

[@sonnikuba]

Great review … you clearly love the craft and it shows. Keep up the good work 👏

[@mkAYY825]

i like the fact that they are being creative with the design, the controller market needs a jolt in that area

[@renechang2406]

I agree but it doesn't justify that inflated price 🤣

[@samroller5788]

@@renechang2406it definitely justifies. The jog wheels are big and essentially the same ones on the cdj3000s. The interface is big. It’s one of the best standalones.

[@jeffreylang4318]

Great video nick! Fun to watch and a learned something!

[@fabriciovaldez9377]

Hey Nick you did an awesome and detailed review of this controller. Everything we need to know you covered it. I really hope Pioneer gifted you this controller because I don't know anyone who can review this controller better than you did. Kuddos!

[@alanaban3519]

Lacking the not a true stand alone / i use tidal because i cannot download all my musical also lacking sata drive demon is still king good try pioneer but did not krack it

[@fabriciovaldez9377]

@@alanaban3519 He did mention that streaming services were not available at the time.

[@HerculesXIV]

Haven’t been a live/club dj since 2008, back when 1210s and Cdjs were king. USB technology is completely new and I’m keen to get back into it. Buying this after your thorough review. Thanks

[@partyloudevents7947]

From ousted spoiler... To top influencer/insider. I am here for this! Great review Nick! Also this controller is so dope fam.

[@1kontrolr872]

It's awesome to see a fresh take on the controller. I love that they integrated the cdj 3000 style controls, it makes it much more versatile. I see these sitting in clubs with 3000s plugged into the 1 and 4 channels and linked into the ethernet port. If this proves as durable as the 3000s it's going to turn into the next club standard

[@tatotorek01]

@Terry Jackson I am sorry that I misunderstood you. 😅

[@patrickc6097]

This gives me hope for pioneer to come out with a standalone battle mixer! Solid review on this Opus Quad

[@rlg222]

It's one of the best-looking all-in-one controllers I've seen to date. Very Nice! Thanks for the quick demo.

[@SamVecchio]

Great video. Nice that you’re so early on it. Kudos my friend.

[@djmilton77]

Nick, Great review love it and it's features are sick... Love the touchscreen but I'm hesitant to use without laptop? What type of reforming of harddrive would you have to do? Watched video twice she's a beauty though design is sick .. air currently use the Pioneer SZ2 and love it.

[@PeteSherriff]

Love it. Nice work Nick 🫡

[@diaryofadj]

Great review. Can’t wait to get one

[@djhemirukahemisphere8893]

Sweet Nick. Got the Pioneer hookups. Well done!! Looks like a tidy device

[@Willempopeye]

Great video. Very useful. And fun. Question. Don't you think the buttons in the front are a bit vulnerable? I'm guessing you can easily hit them with something walking by or with moving.

[@1mantribe]

Amazing review very informative

[@matthockman]

Great review!! I want one of these bad boys.

[@djihsansiral]

It seems great. Hopefully they will add 4 waveforms on top each other as you metioned. Its crucial since this thing makes everything easier.

[@damomendo8249]

Informative review, Nick. Thank you! If I didn't use a laptop, this would be an immediate purchase. I'm hoping Pioneer release an updated DDJ-1000 in 2023. I'd like to see a high-end DAC for improved sound quality and a LOT more new FX options. Anything else is a bonus! Keep doing the great work :)

[@laidbackmedia]

What is putting you off?

[@Fiyaman-kb5xk]

It works beautifully with a laptop

[@chadnliz2k11]

Love it, might be in my cart very soon

[@khodjkriscog9224]

Great review as always 💪🏾💪🏾 Are you using your new camera(your phone) I can see a big difference in the vid

[@alyssalovethedj]

Pioneer makes the dollar store variety of the Prime 4 and everybody loses their mind on the internet... I think this is wonderful. It's about time Pioneer makes something to actually compete with Denon DJ.

[@DT1One]

Compete with the prime 4? 😂 No contest; Prime 4 hands down

[@alanaban3519]

Time to up grade the prine 4; with bluetooth i/o

[@DT1One]

@@alanaban3519 Umm yeah, cause Bluetooth is a killer feature all of a sudden

[@kingtut562]

Agreed, Prime been had internal recording, song sorting by name, bpm, key, etc, internal HD, usb and SD,

[@lucasperricone2236]

Nick, thanks for the great review! What audio monitors you have? Thanks!

[@OT83]

I like the design and it resemble a Denon DJ Prime 4. I watched your entire review and lost it on no streaming out the gate. WOW! I just did a gig on my Denon DJ SC Live (shameless plug), but I had my hotspot from my phone and streamed with beatsource and Amazon music, did't miss a beat (pun intended). Now for $3k, they got a helluva journey with this one. I'm good with what I got, but great review as always.

[@lukeannett]

Best review I've seen.

[@djmadnez]

Mr Nick… hello sir. Off subject but where did you get those wall vinyl holders.. I wouldn’t know what to call them. Great video… nice job.

[@frescabrera4168]

awesome good job Nick.

[@djjulianpappa136]

Great Video brother. Would Have been nice to actually see you play around with the unit maybe a part 2 video. Thanks

[@darrinbridgman3002]

I just ordered min at Djx last week. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Moving from the XZ to this...

[@livinginweymouth]

ULTRAFLAVA, tuneage. Great review dude. That thing is a beast.

[@rmcguffie]

It is a beautiful piece of equipment ,but that price?!?! I would imagine this would be the flagship model. The size alone tells you this is more a house set . I can see folks using this in clubs and venues. I can't wait for the smaller version cause it looks heavy! lol! Great review!

[@derickrose663]

I could buy a good used car for the price I'm good

[@kitesmerfer7583]

Hey Nick, great review. One cavyat though - there is no smooth echo on the DJM - S7!

[@Omrie69]

Had to show luv bruva when you dropped Ultra Flavour! 💯 ❤️ 🇬🇧 BANGER! subbed

[@marcosbabeto]

Simply amazing. I loved the design and curves. The only downside is the price. But being a premium product, we couldn't expect anything different in terms of price.

[@Motel-Music]

Yes you can expect something else. Denon has the Prime4 at 1k less and the SC Live 4 that can do almost all the same things plus has streaming services is even half the price

[@marcosbabeto]

@@Motel-Music indeed. denon has the upper hand when it comes to streaming services.

[@olivierw.frappier]

Does opus quad have a USB mix return Digital mix to record in Serato or Rekordbox ? (on MAC/PC) ? or stream ?

[@TracyAlanBridle]

Nick whats your honest opinion of this new controller vs the Roland 808 as this dj controller in my opinion is the bomb and did take the mantle from the ddj 1000 and denon prime? I'd like your truthful comparisons or personal thoughts mate cheers ;) Great video by the way :)

[@DiscoDelboy]

I feel like the 3rd and 4th deck can just be dedicated to the zones so not needing to have the wave form on as they are usually pre mixed for background music in another room

[@santah0h0h09]

Would like to see a comparison with the denon prime 4

[@brandenalexander1452]

I’m an all around Wedding, Event and Nightclub DJ. This is not some living room display piece. The Opus Quad is everything a true professional needs to run any level of event. I will own one within 60 days. Thanks for helping me confirm my suspicions, Nick…The Opus Quad is definitely for Mobile Party Productions!

[@johncolon8614]

Love the design and features the price point is steep but we will see where it lands. Thanks Nicky

[@chicoenglishsr.4977]

Yo nick my brother your mad nice on the tunetables. Your mixing is amazing

[@djkriswhiz254]

Wow!..I love it..👽🙌🔥

[@happyweddingdj]

I like it ! Love it ❤

[@the_b1g_o214]

Hey Nick, question for ya. So we know Pioneer stated that you cant hook up the unit to CDJ3000s or DJS1000 via ProDj Link. Do you have a work around this issue? Will hooking up to a laptop bypass this challenge and enable conventional syncing to the external units? Just connecting those units via RCA creates extra work if you just want to get creative and not work about beatmatching and nudging. Feedback much appreciated. Appreciate your content.

[@ritbose]

Hey buddy - any chance you can help make a video on how to save your serato crates to an external hard drive?

[@Rickky007]

Two questions : how’s the sound quality compared to the nexus stuff & can you stream Netflix on that big screen in the middle ????

[@Ray-yt7mk]

I’m thinking about making it my first pioneer controller but I’m also asking my self would it work with serato stems?

[@Iman_Tucker]

Great video. I want one

[@kendallwelch7794]

Is there any new controllers coming out that's on par with DDJ1000SRT? Been holding off, but I might just get on the wait list.

[@clarkgourguejr]

Excellent review! Ending the video with a pun was hilarious. Hope the alien thought it was funny, we wouldn’t want global destruction over it 😂

[@BryanOwens]

I want this so much!

[@naterboy85]

Nick, do you see them coming out with a smaller cheaper 2 channel in the near future?

[@laidbackmedia]

So it appears to me from watching closely that every mention of Serato you suggest best to use it in standalone lol. Who directed you to say that rekordbox or Pioneer?

[@jmac4shizzle]

What setting do you put it on to make Scratching sound so Precise

[@christianfeuersenger]

for me veery important question: are there effects on the line/phono input? thx for the review!!!

[@NickSpinelli]

Yes you can assign the FX to any channel!

[@christianfeuersenger]

@@NickSpinelli nice!!! i miss this a lot on my prime4... has no effects on line/phono ^^

[@Fiyaman-kb5xk]

I am taken back by how quality the sound is. Never have I heard better on a all in one controller

[@RCgrooves]

What speakers are behind? They look great

[@giantfightingrobotsounds]

Nick, how do you think this compares to the Prime 4?

[@EuroNation]

Sweet, Denon had all this aside from Bluetooth 3 years ago.

[@humpback5890]

well theyre kinda like Apple of the dh world

[@djshortefromphilly]

True and we can stream from Dropbox, beatsource link, etc and our laptops to our players wirelessly. Or just plug into one of the three USB ports with stand alone track analysis.

[@Fiyaman-kb5xk]

There's always that one Denon spokesperson

[@raggaroaringsound]

Does the deck colors have daytime mode?

[@DJ_Ziggy]

I'd love to try it. It's gonna feel weird not having a laptop to go w/ it tho.

[@gavindc2507]

Now makes sense why Nick didn't do a commentary on this leak or the FLX10

[@wh906]

Would you buy this over the New Flex? Just using it for hone use and occasional gigs.😊

[@AngelD68]

Looks like a retro controller, old school vibes the build. But it definitely has lots of features etc. Good review Nick. So do you basically load tracks on USB to play, or connect to internet?

[@thegilfactortv]

Thanks for Sharing

[@HAPPYJACKRC]

Love it

[@dk101likeu]

Heptagon brother...knowledge is power! ..cop knocking killed me by the way! funny AF!

[@MartinWetzels]

I just ordered it and can't wait to have it. BUT, there are, as you said, a few cons. The cue buttons can`t be assigned to other functions, like my SZ2 for example, like rolls, slicer, sampler, etc. Why didn´t they put a DMX out and stem buttons on it, like the FLX10? I hope they have Stems always on the screen, when playing with serato. Why not making a touchscreen which you can flip up/down? Now the flightcases have to be much bigger too, to make it fit. And honestly, when did you use ever a second zone? And if so, make it compatible with SONOS and/or HEOS. No DVS? Why? I love the design though and the features like 3 USB ports, WiFi, Bluetooth and the big touchscreen. Let´s hope I have just as much fun the next years , like I had with my SZ2 :)

[@DJSHADDY2K7]

😅 man your intro is killer lol 😂

[@ChrisFu]

I get it there’re going in the stand alone side with this… I wonder if they’ll come out with another version towards the XZ like. I had the XZ but it had its flaws. I can see this with the pads and it would be a killer controller. But I don’t see it happening if they’re gonna do serato support with this.

[@tudoparadjs]

great new controller all in one!!!!!

[@djtmajorsd]

This thing is so fire I’d want it for my home studio. Idk if I’d even take it out even tho it would be perfect for weddings. It’s too pretty! Lol!

[@kidcal]

Anyone try with turntables? I wonder if the preamp ok the mixer is good enough for sound quality? Most controllers suck with the sound for vinyl.

[@timkeasbey151]

That intro is awesome. That controller is great but I would need a bigger vehicle to move it.

[@chadwilson4266]

Thing looks really cool. Getting back to lugging around two 1200's weight again.

[@djmickeyTV]

what happens if the Alien see a scratch on the players when you try to return it? lol Great Video

[@NickSpinelli]

Lol 🌎 will be in trouble 😅

[@djron901]

Can you show us how it works with a laoptop? I know it’s standalone

[@paulydltvideos]

“beat FX setup like a f*ck around and find out chart” bro I lost it 🤣

[@benray4fun1]

The upgrade is in the speed...If you're gonna be spinning for the next 10 years plus it's worth considering 💯

[@djskinny6819]

I think they made the first DJ equipment focused on private event DJs. 🎉🎉 (like weddings, anniversary parties and things like that where fancy has to be fancy.

[@JRthepyroguy]

If you want a good controller you have to spend some good money!! Great review nick.

[@Ray-yt7mk]

[@user-cx4wi9te3p]

can we use pioneer rmx1000 and dj sp2 with opus quad .. thx

[@jakemcneese2596]

Does the s7 actually have smooth echo?

[@UONeal]

Great video, glad to see they finally got tired of you leaking their products... One small thing though...I don't think that's actually a Magvel fader. Just a regular alpha fader.

[@NickSpinelli]

Thanks man! It is the newest generation magvel. Just not the magvel pro… with this product, they removed alot of the common labels to refine the style

[@UONeal]

I only bring it up bc the other reviewers say it's not which is a huge disappointment. I really hope you're right and they're wrong. Thanks for the reply

[@NickSpinelli]

@@UONeal so it turns out I received flash info, it is NOT a magvel fader. So sorry for the confusion!
