The jogwheels are exactly the same size and build, and pretty much all controls are laid out where you’ll find them on pro gear. The decks feel almost exactly like using high-end Pioneer DJ CDJs. It’s a theme that runs throughout this device: It just feels like using “pro” gear.įor many DJs, this is going to be a huge like – and for Serato laptop DJs, it’ll be pretty exciting, as it’s a step up from even the DDJ-1000SRT for bringing that Pioneer “feel” to Serato.
Let’s continue by diving into what it’s like to use. OK, so we opened our Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ review by looking at what it’s like to set up. Read this next: 4 Reasons To Use Serato With The Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ All-In-One System Serato compatibility arrived in 2020, which was welcomed by many, to say the least.

Using it with a USB containing a Rekordbox library is simple (just plug in and load to decks), and equally, using with Rekordbox on a laptop is plug and play once you’ve got Rekordbox installed (there’s a serial in the box for the full version). Overall, though, it feels like a serious piece of kit – it certainly looks the part, which especially for mobile DJs, is often half the battle.
That old tech means it is still two channels, and has nowhere near the power of units such as Denon DJ’s Prime 4, to which it will inevitably be compared. We’d expected in a Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ review to be talking about big new screen technology and four decks – but that’s not the case. The single, central, 7″ touchscreen – the same one you’ll find on the previous standalone systems such as the XDJ-RX and XDJ-RX2, somehow seems a little dwarfed in these new, supersized surroundings, and indeed will probably prove to be the biggest bugbear for users – not least because it indicates a lack of technological development from earlier units as regards to the power and available channels of the standalone side of this controller.

The main impression the unit gives is of a club set-up: it’s only when you notice the two sets of eight performance pads under the full-sized jogwheels, and realise the “CDJs” don’t have their own screen, that you guess it is something new (there are no CD slots, either). Some will love this others will not be able to deal with the size and 13kg weight. Imagine glueing together two CDJ-2000s and a DJM-900 mixer, then making it even deeper: That’s the XDJ-XZ. It feels like the old days of carting a coffin case with two Technics and a mixer inside it. Let’s start this Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ review by cutting to the chase: This thing is HUGE.
