![]() I love to mix, and I’ve always used either an NI Traktor or Denon controller. James Taylor in reviewĪfter years of using DJ controllers at home, I’ve been looking for something that allows me to get closer to a club style setup without spending the big bucks. So, if you want the club feel but without breaking the bank, what do you do? Our friend and self-proclaimed bedroom DJ superstar James Taylor got hands on with the XDJ-XZ, to let us know what he thought of it, having always mixed with a controller. ![]() Buying the full NXS2 kit isn’t always an option – considering the price tag of CDJ-3000s and DJM-900NXS2 would be around £6000. In fact, it can be pretty intimidating the first time you step up to a set of CDJs/DJM. Controllers don’t have the authentic feel of a full club setup. ![]() The XDJ-RX has feet like the CDJs, with two easy carry handles making it extremely portable…Īnd that’s probably the best thing about it. Clearly designed with the NXS set up in mind, full sized jog wheels are a standout feature, and it instantly feels recognisable to a club standard system. Weighing in at 13kg, the unit feels like two CDJ-3000s and a DJM-900NXS2 glued together, then made even taller with a 7inch screen – hefty. In 2019, Pioneer finally released the XDJ-XZ – a 4 channel professional all-in-one DJ controller, and boy is it a BIG system. However, as soon as it was released many DJs were calling for a 4-channel version to be made, especially when Denon released their rival unit – the Prime 4. Back in 2015, Pioneer released the XDJ-RX, their original standalone 2-channel player that inherited some features and design from the club standard NXS2 set up.
