It has EQ across the master output – For mobile DJs (for whom we suspect this controller will be appealing, especially stateside), finding out that the XDJ-XZ has EQ across the master output will be a welcome piece of news.

This has been a disappointment to many as of course a full standalone four-channel capability would have been both obvious and preferable here – although it is with saying that if you do happen to have a couple of Nexus 2 CDJs knocking around, you can connect these up and it will then work as a four channel unitĤ. It is only two channel in standalone mode – What this means is that while it has four channels, which you can use with Serato DJ Pro, Rekordbox DJ, and external audio sources such as CDJs and record decks, if you want to DJ from USB drive, you can only use two of the channels – just like the XDJ-RX, RR and RX2 before it. (Note that at the time of writing, the Serato compatibility is still “forthcoming” – expected early 2020)ģ. That flexibility is definitely one of its strengths.

But the XDJ-XZ is a different beast: Not only is it a standalone unit, with the ability to DJ direct from USB just like on pro club gear, but it also works with a laptop – with Rekordbox and Serato.
It works with Serato DJ Pro – There was a bit of protest when Pioneer DJ launched the DDJ-1000 Rekordbox DJ controller, because it didn’t work with Serato – you have top purchase the DDJ-1000SRT unit to do that, which is pretty much identical. If you intend to move it around a lot, you may prefer something smallerĢ. But at the same time, it is dreamy to play on, as it all feels exactly the same as pro club gear. But while those players are separates, this is all in one big unit. It’s actually even deeper than the CDJ players are. It is to all intents and purposes just like two full-sized Pioneer DJ Nexus media players and a DJM-900 club mixer, joined up. It’s huge! – This is neither a good or a bad point, but it is worth making: The unit is big.
So in this article, I’ll talk you through seven things you should be aware of about the XDJ-XZ ahead of making that decision. And it’s proved to be a huge success upon its launch.īut before you open your wallet and grab one (it’s actually pretty hard to find one right now, as the first batch appear to have flown off the shelves), it is worth having a think as to whether it’s the right standalone DJ system for you. Pioneer’s XDJ-XZ is a four-channel standalone DJ system, and the flagship standalone all-in-one unit in Pioneer DJ’s range, in front of the XDJ-RR and XDJ-RX2, the latter of which has been particularly popular this last few years.
