Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX2 Digital DJ System

Product Information

The RX2 features a 100% all-plastic enclosure. The design is similar to the CDJ-2000NXS2 kit. Although this product is quite heavy, it’s still reasonably portable. The price of the Opus Quad already suggests that the XZ2 price won’t be cheap, but it also cannot be as expensive as a CDJ-3000. So there are actually only little things left, such as Splitcue, etc. There will be no real evolution here either, but at least the main problem of the XZ, the small display, will be resolved, and it is a very solid device, which is much cheaper than a CDJ/DJM set. The fact that Denon offers a device with more features for at least 30% less is another story. With your XDJ-XZ connected, powered-on, and in MIDI control mode, open rekordbox, then open the Preferences > Audioand set the Audio Deviceas the Voicemeeter Virtual ASIO:

If you are using a DDJ or DJM, the instructions will be different, please see the DDJ guide here, or the DJM guide here. Also, Jeroen Groenendijk (sales, promotions & product specialist at Pioneer Benelux) said at the beginning of March on Mix Master G’s YouTube channel that we shouldn’t expect an XZ2 anytime soon; it seems that Pioneer can’t even make enough XZs to fulfill demand, so no reason to update it. But this doesn’t mean it’s not coming. I think Pioneer won’t announce the XZ2 until the middle of 2024 at the earliest. That would be very late in the cycle, but they wouldn’t have to do much, either. PriceIt will then also be very popular with the superstar DJs as a home setup because the XDJ-XZ is already running great. AlphaTheta Corporation announces the release of the new XDJ-XZ-Wfrom its Pioneer DJ brand. This new version of the popular all-in-one professional DJ system for rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro comes in a brilliant-white finish, bringing an eye-catching, pristine look to any event, venue, or studio. If you’re searching for a professional setup with a robust build, high-quality sound, and a unique look, the new white model is perfect for gigs and installations where you want to strike an impression with the audience – whether that’s in a lounge, bar, private party, or even an outdoor setting. On the other hand, if you’re happy spinning with just a controller and laptop for now, then you might skip the Pioneer XDJ RX2. The Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ is a 4-channel hybrid standalone/laptop DJ system. The XDJ-XZ features full size CDJ-2000NXS2 style jogwheels with in-jog displays, a central screen and DJM-900NXS2 style 4 channel mixer including beat and colour hardware effects.

The Shift button, which formerly sits in the pad function row, moves to a spot above the transport controls.

The Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX2 was the first controller in the industry to gain traction as a DJ system. Nothing before this was ever so widely adopted.

The 4 line in RCA options also means that it’s easy to connect external components, like turntables. The Pioneer XDJ RX2 is a 2-channel controller that takes inspiration from the Pioneer DJM-450 mixer. There are two channels and a crossfader to explore here. The screen for the Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX2 benefits from a major upgrade here. This means that you can access the QWERTY keyboard found on other major pioneer products, like the XDJ-1000.The RX2 has a two-channel mixer with a three-way matrix for switching inputs. You can jump between laptop, phono, and line. Each channel comes with a 3-band EQ and trim pot. There’s also a six sound color FX knob and volume fader. The XDJ-XZ-W will be available in selected regions (only available at specific retail stores in Asia Pacific, the Americas and Latin Americas – not available in EMEA regions).

Following an amazing firmware update earlier in 2020, not only is the XZ fully Rekordbox ready, it is now fully compatible with Serato DJ Pro. Just ensure both the software and hardware are updated to their latest versions to take advantage. The robust, sturdy and high-quality DJ System is undoubtedly well-equipped. It even comes with a grab handle to make transportation and set up a breeze. It is ideal for a variety of locations/venues including a professional setup for a bar, club or event, or even as a fantastic highlight within a home studio. The phono and line inputs mean that you can connect line-level devices, CDJs, and turntables to the device. u003cliu003eNot the biggest improvement from the previous versionu003c/liu003eu003cliu003eStill reasonably expensiveu003c/liu003e XDJ RX2: The VerdictIntegration of the DMX controller : I could well imagine that the RB-DMX1 will be integrated and would also make sense, but if you also have to buy this, it hardly makes it interesting compared to Soundswitch/Lightrider, etc. HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO: The mic input circuit produces crystal-clear sound, even with a high input level. You are also free to choose which channels you want your Beat FX solution to impact through a switch. Why not start with headphones? As a DJ, I’ve tried many different headphones over the years, but the Sennheiser HD 25 Plusheadphones have been a game-changer for me.
