gcw Get the XDJ-XZ - bit more dollar, but is miles better and feels just like a proper club DJ set up. I upgraded from the RX2 that has smaller, digital jog wheels and I didn’t get on with them at all.

      It’s another £200 basically. Definitely worth the extra money. Pioneer taking the piss with their prices versus 2020 - £400 more expensive for an XZ

        I Would echo what Grant says there , the XZ is a better, sturdier piece of kit and the jog wheels are motorised as opposed to the digital ones on the RX2

        Along_the_Wire thanks for the feedback. I’ll have a look

        I’ve only checked www.thedjshop.co.uk so far, but I’ll show around . Very new to this so wanna do a lot of research before I take the plunge

          Some price discrepancies between them I see.

          XDJ-X2 is £2,049
          XDJ-RX3 is £1,699

            gcw yeah it’s significantly more expensive, but goes a long way if you decide to stick with it (you can add extra players etc). It is THAT much better.

              …wow, gone up so much.

              Are they actually available?

              Didn’t see an out of stock sticker on any of them?

              I’ll continue to shop around, I’m not tied to a Pioneer specifically. I think MC mentioned a Denon previously.

                gcw what’s an xdj x2? You mean Rx2? Or is this a different machine. Not being facetious here btw!

                    Mine are separates rather than a controller (2 x SC6000).

                    Bit of a no-brainer compared to pioneers offerings for me, cost & functionality.

                    Haven’t looked at their controllers but would assume similar applies.

                    Also stream tunes from Beatport, Tidal etc. I use Beatport integration and is great for try before you buy.

                    At the end of the day all have great features, the most important thing is whether you think it looks nice!!

                            Along_the_Wire once you can take nice pictures is all that matters, fuck knows how to use any of it

                              Exactly chaps

                              With the Denons you can also change the colour of the flashing lights.

                              …seen that booth before, v cool setup. Club is called Jæger in Oslo- choice of Xone92 or ARS 4100 with twin Isonoe isolators.

                              Would still like to know how the cabling switches over!?

                                …similar setup here. Little surprise Andy Rigby-Jones is behind the custom switching solution

                                XZ is worth the stretch for sure. I’ve used it in countless venues / house parties and whether amateur or professionals turn up they can just feel comfortable and crack on. No questions or adjusting to different sized platters.

                                I’ll bet by the time the year is out there will be a sequel / mark ii to the XZ.

                                If it interacts directly with the RB-DMX lighting system like the CDJ-3000 does I will be buying it.

                                Ps. Anyone with a new XZ, stay on firmware 1.22 (not 1.23) as there is a wav file error bug they created in the update which they haven’t ironed out yet.

                                Firmware 1.22 has been absolutely solid here.
