This is about unboxing my Pioneer XDJ RX3 and the decision behind why I purchased it over the XDJ XZ.

... after quite some time that I had written my comment, I changed my mind and I was lucky enough to make an even change to take an RX3, I have kept the XZ for two years and I must admit that it is and remains the best standalone of the Pioneer house but the various times that I had to go out to play somewhere led me to the conclusion of making this change. I got it a few weeks ago and I tried it a bit at home and the first feeling I got was that it has a much faster processor .... load a track into the deck with 3x speed compared to the XZ, the effects are the same and the channels in standalone are always two. I have to admit that your decision was right and my words were unconscious .... however the XZ still remains the flagship of Pioneer dj today ..... I also think the pioneer purpose when they thought this standalone has been to keep it fixed in a home studio disco bar, which in practice does not have to move or carry around .... that's why the rx series has always existed before 2 now 3. For all those who are still undecided to take this step, I can only say that it is a show !!!!!

Solid decision. I’m currently in the process of selling my 1000srt. I am not a fan of mechanical jogs you have to apply a good amount of pressure in order to scratch and the cue will slip if you’re not pressing down on the platter enough. The XZ is the exact same jogwheels. I can pull off more scratches with touch capacitive jogwheels. And i never use more than 2 channels. And to customize your DJ logo in the center jogs is great for marketing. Enjoy it!

Nice unit - congrats 👍- all in one units are the way to go - I purchased the Prime4 about 2yrs ago - so glad I don't need a laptop at gigs. Also - I rarely use 4 channels.

I believe on the XDJ-XZ you can hook turntables or cdjs or other equipment and use it without a computer. It's just you can't use four digital tracks on Rekordbox without a computer, only two.

Im just a bedroom Dj and i bought the XDJ-XZ to be honest. 400$ ekstra did not bother me at all. But i agree that i never use the 4 channel mixer. To be honest i think all the effects and sounds are out on date. Thats why i mix with out effects. The RX3 are more than enough for home use or even for a small bar/club imo.

After the update, can you try it on rekordbox 5 and in performance mode and it works? Let it be the same laptop running rekordbox 6.6.0. I would appreciate the experiment and results please

Got the XZ first then sold it to get RX3 , XZ is good for clubs and events thr RX3 is good for indoor use

You probably did not research enough before recording this video on the characteristics of the XZ because there are no comparisons when compared to the RX-3. Aside from the display, the XZ wins on all points. To this day, the Pioneer Dj Power House still remains. It will only be possible to compare and contrast when the update of the XZ itself is released.

@ericfischer28524 ай бұрын
Beside having two extra faders for external devices, what are all the other points? Am I missing something? Seems like the audio quality and everything else would be the same and you’re only able to play two tracks on an XM via usb so… I would think taking it on the road or to set up for shows the RX three wins on a lot of points there too

@@ericfischer2852 Two years ago after I wrote this post, I changed my xz to an rx3.....and I made the right choice. Much easier to transport, larger display and faster processor than the xz. So I have to admit that what I wrote back then wasn't like that. Rx3 much better.
