Pioneer - DDJ-RZX

Description

Visualise your sets with the DDJ-RZX controller for rekordbox video. Designed for DJs on the road, it comes with three 7-inch touch screens that let you close your laptop and get intuitive control over audio and video features in rekordbox dj and rekordbox video directly from the hardware.

The DDJ-RZX inherits traits from the CDJ-2000NXS2 multiplayer and DJM mixer series including large jog wheels, multicoloured Performance Pads and high-quality sound. Plus an extensive FX unit lets you trigger Mic FX, Combo FX, Sampler Repeat and Release FX as well as the studio-quality Sound Colour FX from the DJM-900NXS2.

High Quality Sound
Hear the true quality of your tracks thanks to AC inlets for reduced cable contact resistance and a high-performance 96 kHz/32 bit D/A converter made by Asahi Kasei. Plus a low-hitter clock IC and the 96 kHz/24 bit USB sound card ensure powerful, high-quality sound.

3 Touch Displays
Three 7-inch touch screens give you direct access to track info such as titles, BPM and key using deck display mode, and enlarged waveforms for each track, as well as loops and Hot Cues in mixer display mode. You can use the displays to preview/monitor video and image files, trigger Beat FX and Release FX, while Touch FX lets you add FX and adjust parameters by tracing on the x and y axes on the display. All without having to touch your laptop.

Dedicated Mic Section
2 XLR combo input jacks give distortion-free Mic output even at loud volumes. the dedicated 3-band EQ and Mic FX - Echo, Reverb, Pitch or V-Tune - let you tune each voice to give your performance just that little extra.

Advanced FX
The DDJ-RZX is stacked with pro-DJ FX controls for rekordbox dj and external sound sources. You can apply Sound colour RX and Beat FX simultaneously, and trigger Release FX to reset them instantly to creatd a break. Plus you can add sub parameters to the Sound colour RX or use Sampler Repeat to change the length of a loop.

Rekordbox Video
You get a free licence key for rekordbox video bundled with this controller. Use it to load videos and image files to the decks from a laptop or stream live footage from a USB camera, then add text overlays and FX in real-time. You have the option to prepare your video sets in rekordbox or mix your visuals on the fly.
