This by far is the best bang for your buck. I've been DJing for decades and have a NXS2 CDJ/DJM setup in a coffin. Damn thing weighs like 110Lbs. This controller in a case weighs in at about 50Lbs+. I just DJ'd a gig with this and it's perfect for that. Only thing missing is flac file support which Pioneer will never give you on a stand along controller. I guess if you need flac file support, you can always use Rekordbox DJ with your laptop. The controller comes with a full license for Rekordbox DJ.

There will ALWAYS be another version around the corner. Accept it or you'll be on the fence for the rest of your life. If you just got into DJing you won't need all the bells and whistles yet for quite some time as you will be learning the basic stuff for a while. Pioneer gear have a very stable used market where prices don't move much after the initial price drop. Get yourself a used XDJ-RX and find out if DJing is for you, and if so, what kind of DJ you aim to be. If you take care of the unit, you will probably get most of, or all your money back within a couple of years. It doesn't get cheaper than that. As a pro DJ for many years I have the NXS2 setup and the equivalent modular setup to the RX2: 2 XDJ-700 & the DJM-450. In comparison it has less features than the RX2 and is a few 100 bucks more expensive. I mainly use what's installed in the clubs I play, which means everything Rekordbox compatible since 2009 with a few exceptions. Then and when required to, I bring my own gear, and in 19 times out of 20, I bring my small setup instead of the NXS2. Why? It's still better than half of what's installed in many clubs, and it's MUCH easier to carry and setup than a full NXS2 setup. I also don't need to feel the worries that using my personal $6000 gear in an environment I can't control will bring. Finally, all the stuff I need to perform is on the XDJ-700's as the pretty much equals the CDJ-2000 Nexus with a touch screen and a QUERTY search. The DJM-450 lacks the Booth out, and the very few times I really need that, I bring my DJM-800 in a back pack. That is not a problem with any of the RX/RX2/RX3 as they all have the boot out. I hope this little rant helps you to decide to spend some money to get into DJing now rather than later :) .

Tbone Beats Denon kills it dead in the water, it has a touch screen, a sata hard-drive bay, sd slot, 4 us connections, is standard 4 channel, onboard effects unit, go watch laidback luke he has a video on the unit which pretty much explains what's all there. I used to be a pioneer fanboy but ever since I switched over to the denon primes, I haven't looked back. It takes some getting used to the prime software and workflow but the prime 4 is compatible with recordbox, serato and all major software platforms. I already pre-ordered my prime 4 and if it's anything like the prime gear I already have, I will be traveling light AF in the future.
@Lalaland.0015 жыл бұрын
@@markkelvisar9544 Never had any problem with lag at all, I used to be a pioneer fanboy myself, but the sc 5000's are way better, in terms of built quality, ease of use, and downright reliability, mine were still playing after having been in literal pouring rain for over 5 hours. My nexus give out after one beer having been spilled on it and an expensive repair to boot. I will give you the software is not like recordbox. But prime is compatible with recordbox, you can import all your data without any problems to prime, hotcues and all. It takes some getting used to but it does all it needs to do. I have been using the sc 5000's for nearly 2 years now and have yet to encounter any problems. If you have any doubt about denon they used to be the industry standard that was until pioneer started paying big names to use their gear, the rest is history. Also if you ever get a chance to check out a denon sc 5000 in real life, tell me how their built quality of the sc 5000 is, they are imho better built then any plastic pioneer, the sc 5000 are full metal jackets. The prime 4 is no exception to that rule as it's chassis is full metal as well. So in terms of built quality they are ahead of pioneer. You pay more for pioneer because of their name, not because of more features or built quality.

Perhaps, though I wouldn't recommend someone to buy this to use as a controller in that way. It's functionally equivalent to the DDJ-RR, which costs less than half the price, and is much easier to move around. Or, you could get a significant "upgrade" by getting a DDJ-1000. Not only do you save $500, you gain two channels and you still have nifty onboard displays. I should've mentioned it... but I don't necessarily recommend it.

Hey Daran! It's a K12... there's actually a pair of them in here, but one is out of frame. :) The room I have them in is 1100 sq. ft. with ~8ft. tall ceilings, and they are more than I need (though if I were throwing events, I'd add a KSUB or similar.) For not having the sub, they sound really good, and have a really full lower-midbass/upper sub-bass if you have the "deep" setting selected. Midrange and top end is perfect; I love the way they sound. They also seem really willing to "throw" sound a long distance without having the volume up too far... hard to explain. I find myself surprised at how well I can hear things at low volume when I'm standing quite far away. Looks like there is a "version 2" out, now: amzn.to/2MKo8Ey To better answer your question, I've used a single K12 to power small house parties and such, and it's more than up to the task. Hope this helps!

Why are dimensions and weight downsides? Look at it from a different perspective ! I bought myself this XDJ-RX2 because it's only a 4th of the weight of my flightcased NXS(2)-set, so I can easily carry it to those harder-to-reach gigs. It's lighter than 2 CDJ's together, and weighs slightly more than a DJM-900 NXS2.
@PassionateDJ6 жыл бұрын
Hey Leon. You're not wrong. :) When doing these reviews, I need to consider all types of DJs and the different scenarios which they will encounter. The dimensions and weight aren't downsides when comparing them to your previous setup. However, if someone is used to rocking a DDJ-RB, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the huge difference there. At the very end of the video, I do make it a point to mention that the score is deceptively low because of dimensions and weight. For a lot of DJs, this is the right choice for sure.

It mainly depends on your requirements and budget. A used XDJ-R1 would give you standalone (non-laptop) functionality, but it's getting a bit "long in the tooth". Another way to stay laptop free is to buy individual components. Personally, I went with: * (2) Pioneer XDJ-1000s || amzn.to/2I69h3q * Pioneer DJM-850 || amzn.to/2M85yoF Of course, this type of setup is more expensive, coming in at about 2 grand. However, I was able to find refurbished players and a used mixer, saving me several hundred dollars. You could also replace the 1000s with XDJ-700s and get a cheaper Pioneer mixer. I liked the 850 because I use four channels and I like Traktor certification. If you don't care about being tethered to a laptop, the DDJ-1000 is indeed the bee's knees... amzn.to/2tdS5EN

Heya, sorry for the delay. I've only hooked it up to a pair of QSC K12's, which are great, but it's certainly not a "big production" setup. On there, it sounds great. The guy who lent me the XDJ-RX2 is in a band called Cryztal Grid, and they have connected both to high-end club rigs and recently played an 8000+ festival in Athens, Ohio. I heard no complaints of sound quality! (Though, admittedly, he didn't have turntables connected.) By the way, Cryztal Grid is a pretty cool electronic duo which combines DJing elements with saxophone, live drums, and MCing. They're pretty dope, so I always try to give them a plug. :) Learn about 'em here: passionatedj.com/episode-141-cryztal-grid/

Please... stop it... they won't do that... you can read the reason why in like every second comment on youtube... please grow up and study economics to understand, that they wouldn't destroy the sales on their cdj line ever...

Intresting Review ... Although This is like watching The "big bang theory" as a dj review channel Lmao ;D All im gonna say is : It's a great price , its less than a one cdj price wise for it and you have a complete set up!!!! I know resident Dj's over here that sold there nexus setup to buy the last RX because of the Price as its perfect for home set up and preperation. Its not about having a club setup in your BEDROOM. Its brillant!!! for price and build ... 7.5??? Really?? , nah its a 9+ . For beginners , or Pro djs with no space at home , or that have just had kids , and cant win the "i need NEXUS SETUP" battle with the wife... Lol (+ if you want more effects buy a RMX 1000 later on ).
Why are you filming this on a GoPro and more importantly on the “wide” setting? Not trying to hate but it’s hard to be interested when the fisheye effect is all I’m seeing

I dont understand what the big fuss is about CDJ's . . .they are very limiting and a major let down in terms creative expression to be quite honest...for the price they are actually a huge waste if money... they are good for putting your baby to sleep with a boring house 'journey' mix though...

Never get rid of your Macbook Air 256GB SSD intel i7 13". w Serato DJ Pro, 💡💡💡, the Lappy becomes your backup. Any standalone is man made as well a laptop. Both can crash. Use powered speakers. No worries House music all night long, house music house nation dont confuse it w edm.

Sounds great until you use Rekordbox and find out how much of a piece of crap it is. At least with Serato I was able to use my old controller right out of the box and only took a little setup and analyzing to get up to speed. Rekordbox audio drivers however will not work correctly with my current Mac OS 10.4 and the software constantly freezes and I have 16 GB of RAM and tons of disk space. Not happy at all. $1700 and I have yet to use it at a gig, and I bought a replacement controller for my Serato setup and was right back in business within minutes., Pioneer needs to scale down Rekordbox a bit because it is just another new age bloated piece of software. I guess if you can deal with the frustration of the freezing software while you prepare to export files to your thumb drives and use the controller without a computer as it was designed then you should be fine but in my case I would like to use the computer as well to access my full library but I guess I have more to learn about how Rekordbox functionality works. But so far not impressed.
