[@freaky5285]

Bit misleading, since it only works on 2 channels as a standalone, you have to use rekordbox link or serato to turn on the other 2 channels, or link external players.

[@mikesaintjulesmusic]

Would be fine for me. 2 Technic Turntables on the outside would suffice since it has a ground too.

[@JorgeAntonatos]

So wait…you mean to tell me you can’t push a button to switch the deck from channel 1 to 3?

[@zappers1000]

@@JorgeAntonatos cannot

[@xenoblack3]

The 'I just pressed a button' gesture where the dj yanks their hand up to face level is a little too exaggerated. We get it...the thing has buttons on it. It is a 2-Channel Standalone Unit, and a 4-Channel controller. Putting it out there as a 4-channel 'standalone controller' is deceptive. A laptop or a pair of external media players are required for 4-channel functionality.

[@PunchineloPow]

4 channel mixer though which when compared to the 900 nexus alone is a great deal.

See this would be great if you could access the 3rd and 4th decks when it was standalone. It’s not like they can’t do it seeing as the DDJ 1000 and 1000srt can. Even the SB3 with their two channels can access four decks. Seems like a cash grab to make you buy 2 more CDJs.

[@MACODJ]

Is It new??

[@vadik9828]

which is better in your opinion xz or prime 4?

[@quentinwilliams1650]

Personally I take the XZ over the Prime 4, but that's because emulating the club standard CDJ+DJM setup as closely as possible is very important to me. The XDJ-XZ was never designed to be an answer to the Prime 4- it was designed to carry over ~90% of the CDJ+DJM feature set at a greatly reduced price. It makes a lot of sense for DJs like me, who want to practice for their residencies or put on events at smaller venues without their own backline. If you're an amateur/newer DJ or a professional working outside of clubs and the Pioneer ecosystem, and you're looking for a full-featured all in one unit, then I would absolutely recommend the Prime 4. But if you're like me, and looking for something that comes as close to the club standard as possible, then the Prime 4 doesn't really do much for you. That's why I like the XZ. It's for me, but it's not for most people.

ENGLISH: Good Morning. As a pioneer user for more than 20 years starting with a djm 500, then a djm600, then a djm900nxs2, standalone rx2 which I sold, I want to convey my sincere disappointment with the brand with the direction that pioneer is taking with its latest products , more specifically with the dj controllers, you are making the client take as an option other brands that were behind regarding pioneer and among them me. You are making controllers that are missing many things, or things that a specific model lacks, you put it in another, and that other lacks what the previous one has, I do not know if I explain myself well. And all this you do is not to lose sales of your star product which is cdj2000nxs2 which is at an exorbitant price. Most of us are disgusted with the xdj xz which you advertise is 4 channels, but then with usb they can only use 2, you don't put usb 3.0, the truth is that since they did not give me one I would not buy anything from pioneer since you are lagging behind, for example with denon who is bringing out products that are up to these times, I just wanted to convey my most sincere opinion on behalf of many pioneer users around the world. Put the batteries and make a standalone of 4 channels by usb, with a screen in condition, with a resolution in condition and with all the options that a controller must offer: hardness of jog wheel, 4 channels BY usb, usb 3.0, .FLAC and a long ect. You are forcing all users to change brands. Thank you very much. YOU HAVE THE SAME MENTALITY THAT APPLE AND IT IS A MISTAKE
