Pioneer have lost the plot. It’s over. Focus clearly on mid market tat rather then professional level gear since they where bought out imo.
mono-stereo completely agree - they’re shitting themselves because of the Denon Prime - all they had to do was make the XZ 4 channels, but they were too paranoid about their top end sales. Wank.
mono-stereo I dunno ya know, those 3000s are decent.

Yep, 4 channels and a bigger touchscreen that’s more intuitive, a few minor tweaks and they’d be laughing. They’ve massively overcompensated. Plus the price point will narrow the decision for some between that and the 3000s.
Amps one is the same price as the XZ. Someone is making some money somehwere!
Come aboard the Denon train ladies, it’s well groovy
Prime4 is due for a revamp soon i reckon. If they made the look and feel a bit more high end, its a no brainer choosing that vs Pioneer given the price difference and the fact the software is now on par. Ive had my 5000s for years and they have been superb. Suppose a great case study on how marketing and perceived “market leader/industry standard” trumps features and price. Plus getting sponsors. Noticed Diggers moved away from A&H mixers to Pioneer now.
IndustryStandard it seems that so has pretty much everyone else. Digweed still seems to play with a DB4 if the promoter can get it.
IndustryStandard yup. Pioneer has been dining out on its CDJ years for decades.
Homegrove I don’t understand why the likes of diggers aren’t using a model 1. Great mixer.
mono-stereo he played with it once, and it clearly didn’t stick. I think he likes the efx integrated too.
Denon does have Laidback Luke though….😬
IndustryStandard And Millay soon, can feel it slowly dawning in his posts
Millsy Make do and mend.
Also, keep calm and carry on.
Did anyone pick up a Technics Mk7 50th anniversary model? If so, any cop? They are selling out fast and might be a wife friendly addition to the front room if a get a colour she likes…….i live in hope!
Mastersounds teasing an announcement tomorrow- possibly a new mixer.
HTFF
Mad_Cyril sick! only got my radius, be very hard to beat
Heno Thinking it might be a component upgrade for the valve mixers.
But who knows, my ideal would be a Radius with Airhorn integration
Mad_Cyril a rave alarm add on
Heno or clown horn we all know and love
Heno As an aside, have noticed Denon have added FX to the on board SC6000 we, you seen it yet?
Deffo some hot horn action included.
