It's literally the kind of device we were waiting for. Compact, small, with the essential tools to rock a party or to produce home content! My respect for Denon keeps growing.
Denon just KILLED Pioneer
Again?
My god ! 😱 denon are killer
@@rorz999 I suspect that they're gonna release something with a Spotify support! I think this year is gonna be an exciting one
@@What.iphhhh denon is adding soundcloud streaming to all prime gear.
They killed em 3 years ago when they released the sc5k's
Pioneer - “We dominate the DJ market”
Denon - “hold my beer”
CDJ 1000 "OG"
"hold my 10" touchscreen"
Wow. Things have changed since I had my biamp SCM-7600, twin 1200s with ortofon concordes, and a Pioneer CDJ-300 (circa 1995). Love the advancements! I just ordered a DDJ-400 for my kids to explore DJ'ing while we are quarantine. Thanks Crossfader for your passion!
Pioneer fanboy here and Denon has me listening. The go may be my first foray in. Been looking for something to take on train and to beach. They nailed it. Pioneer. Hope you scared to death today. Your about to lose that share. Better stop resting on old snobby laurels and listen to the new dj. It’s a whole new world.
honestly you would be better off with a ddj-200 and a small usb battery. you probably already have a phone so you have a screen and processor in your pocket and you will save $800. but hey if you wan't to spend $1000 on this go for it. It's nice and denon is a good company.
@@FearRuano cables and being able to hold in lap is huge - especially hanging at the beach or somewhere else. I can see me using this as well for all my small house parties and gigs for 50 peeps and under. Im a bit older (45) and this is my side gig/hobby (work a full time job luckily and thankful) so removing the cost issue and simply looking at a product niche I have been waiting 15 years for - I'm all in. The price is meaningful to a 17 year old kid or a full time DJ who needs the gigs to cover expenses and turn a profit. This piece of machine can fill so many needs depending on who you are - not many units can run the gamit like this.
YUP nailed it
Fear Rua yea I have the 200 and this is perfect for that
I just purchased mine. Hands down… Probably one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
This video alone taught me everything I need to know because Denon’s tech support isn’t the greatest.
Thanks again!
This excites me. Glad to also hear others who feel Denon is really innovative and becoming the one to look out for in the pro dj world.
This is awesome, my wife will kill me, I'm already comparing prices, that new sofa will have to wait my dear!
Lol
Lol
😂
Hows sleeping on the couch Neily?😂🤣
4:04 when you really love vertical EQ's
Robbe Vankerckhove 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh no 😂😂
dafuq?
hahahaha
Lmao WTF don't do him like that! 😂 I can't unsee that now! 😂
on a beach. with a boombox. and i have the perfect table for it
And how do you connect the Denon DJ Prime Go to your Boombox? Does the Prime Go have bluetooth?
@@ottoquattro Bose S1 battery powered will go amazing with this product
Cable is ok and no delay.
@@ottoquattro i can run a mini jack to rca to my Bose or Alto portable speaker., it kicks
JBL boombox is perfect since it has an aux line I
This is amazing. Denon DJ killing it the past few days
Perfect for wedding dj who don't have a lot of space
or organize your set on the go
@@duncankong4438 naah it is kinda overkill for that a dd200 can do the job
Don't even dare making this your main setup for a wedding or any important event. This is not that reliable.
If you doubt me just look up denon forums for problems with prime systems... I had problems with the go myself. I had to return it.
You can plug this into a battery powered speaker and you don’t have to plug not a dam thing in!! This is the ultimate!! Pioneer is done!!
Seriously, this isn't like them. Where are they?
Mac Joseph we meet again lol youre on all the midi controlled dj vids
Rich Ariz I'm everywhere hehehehe
4 hours battery time ... if it were 10 hours... it would be a killer
its $1000 and doesn't even have proper jog wheels. Same money gets you laptop and a ddj 800 that is much more capable.
I'm definitely buying this. I hope they add mic eq in future software update
Edit: So I bought this and the thing didn't work fresh out of the box. I'll not be buying any denon product again. This is my 2nd time having problems with their systems. Denon has not been reliable for me and other users just google 'the following peripheral did not come online during boot' before buying any prime gear. I really had high hopes for this! It's pioneer for me from now on! Peace of mind is priceless!
That's the only thing that's keeping me from buying this... No Mic EQ??? What were they thinking??
@@jamesgonzalez3548 ikr... But it's what it is! 😂 mine is coming in tomorrow. Still excited after six months 😂
I went from Numark to Denon and then became a Pioneer snob. But NOW, I believe I may be going back to Denon! Holy cow! This all in one is what I’ve been looking for, but I wish they had a 4 channel controller. Me thinks I’ll be buying this comfy piece!
I am a Denon MCX8000 owner and have thought about upgrading to Prime as my primary controller but I may just have to use this Prime Go controller as my secondary one for smaller gigs or second setups like weddings require. Very impressed by the power and compact size. I could totally see my self bringing this to a beach or Park Party and using a battery powered speaker. This little controller is probably going to make me want to convert to Prime 4 anyway. Denon is slaying it in the last couple years.
This plus two Bose S1 Pro speakers and you're living the dream.
Do they ever sleep at Denon Dj. It seems they will only sleep when Pioneer is dead 😅
:-D :-D :-))
😂
Bokenza 100% denon is slowly becoming the kings of the Dj world. To be honest I can’t stand pioneer and their high and mighty attitude they have been napping with their “upgrades” year to year and nothing new or just go all out and release something thats different and roll the dice. Might be abit bias seeing I still got the denon dn 2000f haven’t used it in a long time and that’s showing my age.
Lol😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 bro i see no lie in you comment
I had the MCX8000 and it was a terrible controller, there were tons of issues. One of the platters would sometimes just stop working randomly mid and then it would work again after you restart the unit, recording mixes was a nightmare as it would record the sound on very low volume or not at all, you could never adjust the fader to exactly the right settings. The unit wouldn't recognize some songs even if you export them directly from the Engine software, and the software itself was terrible getting the bpm and the key wrong of about 30% of all the songs I loaded on it. Updating the firmware didnt help either...
If Denon is aimed at the high end dj market then I don't understand how they could release such a terrible product.
Holy mother of portable DJ controllers, this thing really just blew me away!!!!! Count me in 1000%
If you combine this with an Audioengine Wireless transmitter, you've got a fully standalone and wireless DJing deck. You can even power the transmitter with one of the Prime Go's host posts I believe !
This plus SOUNDBOKS = perfect
I change from Pionner to Denon Dj since three years ago. More than happy!
I can imagine having this and prepping a dj set while on the bench and my gf watching tv
This looks like a great buy for the on the go DJ. I have the SC5000'S and will love to buy this controller to just pack and go.
I was shocked at the release for this...then skeptical. It's all there fully functional and capable. Not for its size; It just is. Interesting idea from Denon.
Denon listens. Bought their SC5000M and X1800 and don't regret it one bit...
Pioneer - “We make best DJ Gear”
Denon - “hold my horisontal EQ's”
Love Denon Prime Go. This is something that I need. Soo simple I can put it in my backpack so I don't need to pay extra luggage if I go by plane every time I have gig outside my city or country. Because by that, I can feel so comfort when I play with things that I used to. No need to adjust my play style or technic to "Surprise Equipment" in rush which is many time I can not play all out and make my audiece disappointed, that provide by the Event Organizer or the venue that I play. Can't wait to have it.
been a fan of denon since day 1. i have the full sc6000 rig and i got this to take to the lake so i dont have to drag my players out of the house anymore. cant wait to get it an take it out and about
For backyard party and summer pool gigs this perfect. Add some QSC 8's and you're compact and booming
I LOVE IT! Denon is king in 2020.
6 years ago I was telling people that Denon DJ was going to take over and I got laughed at. #denondj4life
I bought the Prime 4 on launch, and now I need this too! Perfect for parties & travelling, etc.
It's like Denon DJ has started a funeral home cause they're burying Pioneer DJ by the second. Having said that, one has to give Denon DJ big props cause they are seriously innovating. Right now it appears Denon DJ is building their own ecosystem with a slew of innovative products that have Engine OS as its backbone thereby guaranteeing the continued improvement of Engine OS and allaying the fears of DJs that earlier Prime products would be made redundant. Despite how nice this product is I believe the price is a bit on the high side. I think a region between $500 - $600 would have made more sense since I think most people wouldn't use this as their main rig but like a backup or training gear. Nice review though
Agree..$1000??? Nuts! $400-$600 is reasonable.
@@DjDubUk Look what Pioneer wants for the XDJ RR...therefore this Denon Device is fair priced
$1000/£929 is because of the stand alone capability. With the streaming service you can just buy this and no laptop. I own a PRIME 4 and the Tidal integration is great. I can imagine a mobile DJ using this for requests. It will be interesting to find out what price the PRIME 2 is. The PRIME 4 is around $1600/£1500 so the PRIME 2 will probably sit at $1300/£1200.
Denon are taking it to Pioneer and with the Engine software they can win the fight.
Couldn't agree more on this comment!
don't forget that the Roland 707m is also priced at 999 and this is fully standalone
Iam a grandfather who loves music I got to get one of these great information
Game Changer for sure 🙌
If this unit is Bluetooth it’s a major game changer for damn sure!!! I just got the prime 4 and it’s already a game changer!
I have a slow laptop. Other controllers would push me to buy a new laptop just to make sure I can play for an hour without lag/freeze. But this, I can still keep my slow laptop and then, play along with this without a laptop. This is nice. Although, it still pricey, especially with our currency fall during Covid-19. The good thing about this product is its a quarantine DJ system. Its a stand-alone DJ system. It won't be dependent form Windows and OSX OS updates where at some point will push you to upgrade your laptop. Just a USB stick with a list of songs, and this. Done
Just ordered it been away from djing for while doing music production for last x amount if years, feel like great come back tool cant wait to get round to using it
Waiting for the 4 channels version😊
The little Engine that could
Wow after owning and loving my 3 MCX8000's and a MC7000 for my busy DJ company I've been looking at the Prime 4 but was't sure If I wanted another heavy controller once in a travel case. Then BOOM Denon this Prime GO looks awesome and has everything we need.
Bought a P4 in 2019, will buy a GO in 2020, well done Denon on innovating!
Pioneer - We are the best.
Denon - I am about to end this whole company's career😂
Just add Spotify support in there and finish them all :)
Facts!!!
But Tidal is integrated and so far the only streaming offering MQA files. (Granted it is limited, older songs, not so much, but more and more a released every day.) Better Sound = WIN
Incredible location portability 👍🏾
Denon is the new AMD
Pioneer is the old Intel
this is absolute fire. Reminds me of the true evolution of my MC6000 MK1 which I loved dearly for being a work tank that could do literally anything. Well now we are in the streaming age and here is its successor. The only thing I do wish that it had was a 4 channel mixer, but I understand how that would jump the price and the size.
Still, something to think about. Give it 4 channels, and it may be able to beat just about anything on the market.
Well Pioneer dead!! Denon just killed it!!
Denon DJ shut Up and Take my Money 😂
I really wanted this at first but then I saw the SC Live 4. Now I can't decide. The mobility of this is nice but it's just that I don't do most of. For an extra $300, you get a fuller controller.
This is the one. Definitely purchasing!
Me too!! I even don't mind the price, this thing just kills it on so many levels!!! Pioneer just dropped dead lol
@@itxofficial8281 So many times I've been at the beach or outside somewhere and wanted to dj. Perfect mobile unit until I can justify buying the big players.
Ive been waiting years for a piece of kit I can take with me - DJ whenever and wherever - most preferably outside during the summer at the beach and friends backyards. Lugging all my crap annoying and power issues make it nearly impossible sometimes. Pinch me because this ticks every box - without being a silly toy. Full pro features. Pioneer massive fanboy here but you sold me Denon. As soon as I can pre-order this Im in. Will learn the prime ecosystem and eventually transition fully over. Pioneer - I hope you just sent the sos to everyone in R&D to start working - like now!!!!! You better have an answer an NAMM or expect the downfall to begin. The days of - we can do whatever we want and you will do as we say are over - club standard about to take a massive hit. Denon listens - Pioneer dictates. Bad business model in 2020.
Sooo compact, sooo nice.. and it cost much ofcours, around mor or les 50K pesos currency n Phils... its like buying a laptop/tablet + dj controller n 1.. 😊 👍👏👌
I just got mine and i absolutely love it. Thanks for the tips!
Freakin new product, for me very interesting, perfect for a little trip with friends or smthng like that, or just like u said, universal mobile djs. Denon makes me supprised, very positive ! Not overpriced good piece of gear, i'm thinking about prime 4 for me ;)
Nice review ! Pozdrawiam
i just bought this i f****** love it . f*** pioneer
Its like the true successor to the MC3000. I love this machine
Cant believe im thinking of this... it's more than my MC7000 and expensive for a back up but just think if the power goes out and the party's still going. Break out the PRIME and 2 battery speakers and finish the gig. It will even fit in my bag. Take my money! hell why not make it bluetooth.
This would be great for Wedding DJ's who do remote ceremonies.
Finally something new!! Very nice controller combines everything that a dj want!! Maybe the price is little bit high but ok you pay the innovation...
Denon should price this at $499 and get the prime system in the hands of a lot of Djs who may just invest in their high end products.
" The Loss Leader Strategy"
yeah that would be great..for a beginner DJ I think 999$ is really a lot since u don't know yet how far you could come and therefore shouldn't spend so much money 😁..at that price it's not really for beginners 😁
Agreed!
Maybe by removing options like WiFi (another ethernet port could replace if it doesnt affect the price to much), battery (and online streaming) they could make it affordable for beginners as well?
@@ste8701 I would love a Prime GO lite without battery.
@@ste8701 ddj-200 with a usb battery pack $220, phone in your pocket does the same thing this does.
Hi! Nice review. Would be great if Denon activate Bluetooth for Go (if it is built in, but not activated). For keyboard input, sync with other controllers/gears and even use earphones/speakers for just sitting home and listen to music and put out hotcues/loopes etc.
The future of djing... 👍👍
Ddj 400 is going in the bin!!!!!!
Pioneer DDJ 400 is about 300$ and this Denon Prime Go is 999$. So this Denon Prime Go is fighting with the Pioneer DDJ 800 (899$) or the Pioneer XDJ RR(982$)
This is not in the same price range. The ddj 400 is still the best you can get for its price
it's atleast 1000usd tho...
Denon Go is more like competition against
XDJ-RR and Denon wins this again
@@marisbre9314 the RR has more features tho..while the GO is impressive and has its pros i'd still go for the RR
Great video helping me decide on my first bit of kit...Thanks 👍🏽
Great to hear!
Great review. One thing that would still get me to buy the xdj-rz over this is the feedback destroyer on the mic input. That is so critical to the working dj and Denon doesn't have an answer for it. Perhaps if they add that to the software as an update then I'll be on board. To take it to another level adding a master EQ to the software with a graphic EQ and curves would the n help me tune the room and solve many problems.
comnect to another 4 channer mixer like peavey or berhinger
@@jaimefranciscomonterrosaum468 In my experience, using a driverack pa is the best way to go for feedback issues and tuning the room. But if the dj mixer would have these options then that is less gear to bring to a gig.
Very interesting! It's cool seeing a compact pro-grade controller! I'm pretty new to DJing, but like the idea of re-mixing live and currently own a Roland 202, was thinking of eventually getting the 808.... but maybe this paired with an MPC Live..... could be pretty sick, and no power cables needed!
A deck like this coupled with an MPC Live… that’s an entire party / studio session in your backpack, and no computer needed. Shit’s wild
Just bought the Frekvens speakers designed by Teenage Engineering and IKEA. These speakers are battery powered. I am thinking of buying the Prime Go and go off grid with my sets. J
love this its ideal for a mobile dj
I like the screen! but dammit - already picked up the DDJ400 last year! I bet Pioneer made a killing with the ddj400. Had this Denon came out earlier...
So sick, but I do wish had Bluetooth functionality. I feel like this and a couple of UE booms would go perfectly together
Amazing. Thank you for the review. THIS is what I have been waiting for for 4 years.
BUT does the screen angle change?? I was not clear on that!
Yovnic 1 Brunner. No! Fixed screen. Think you’d have to angle the whole unit slightly if not perfect.
@@ifonlyhowie IKEA laptop stand fits perfectly and costs £4 !
There are loads of other collapsable stands on Amazon too.
Amazing was looking at Prime 4 now have options.... looking to switching from Rekordbox (overheated 3 laptops) during some research to see if Denon will let me use my Traktor F1 so i can access remix decks for sampling....
I haven't found a way. I'll be interested in what you determine.
Know what you mean by overheating, gone back to a tower i7 with 36mb memory and an SSD. Best and safest, for long Gigs. People do not realise when you have a room at 20 degrees C, then 300 people come in all at 37 degrees C that poor little fan on your laptop, stand no chance of keeping it running below 60 degrees C.Don't get me started on humidity.
This thing is awesome, it will work perfect for.me as a busker!!!
The left pitch control fader should have been all the way to the left.. It looks kind of odd next to the channel up faders like a 3rd channel. Just my opinion, but all in all looks great and refreshing to see something that doesn't look like everything else and performs great the market.
I would pick this controller over the pioneer flx6 any day
You are a master at what you do.
yep denon killed industry in 2017 and still going stronger then ever , future of djing
The only thing missing is a 4 deck support. Should be possible while keeping the same compact design. Make deck 1/3 and deck 2/4.
love the concept, i just wish it had bluetooth to pair with any home speaker or wireless speaker, space for SSD, and a way to connect to youtube for music. also. but perfect size. i would use it at my trailler, beach party or pool party. thanks for the Video
I was looking at a (DDJ800 and RX2) for the Pioneer ecosystem, and also (and stupidly) venues get impressed by the flashy gear.
Now, I am considering the Prime 2, but finding everyday better use for the GO.
I don't scratch (just like seamless long mixes (house and its derivatives).
Maybe the Prime 2 covers all my "needs" (including the flashy part), but the GO.... I mean, It can be so chick as well, and watching your mix set in it, got me thinking...
Thanks
BTW I have an SB3 and a Roland 707M, but each has their distinct uses.
Carlos
Woah, I like this. I'd probably buy this if I didn't have a DDJ 1000
Denon is killing it
There needs to be other products in this space (compact, battery powered, streaming), for now this is a monopoly situation, very clever Denon
WoW!
This little think seems like it packs a punch!
Hopefully engine prime has worked out it's kinks.
Still maybe worried that Serato may enter the standalone market.
Who knows but this unit definitely ticks all the boxes.
I’d
Like to see the vertical waveforms directly next to each other, like serato
you can !
ua-cam.com/video/64xLM8xKdRE/v-deo.html
I thought these was coming a smaller unit kinda prime 4 for mobile dj market
I see that many people complain about the high price. They say that it should be cost $500-$700. I totally disagree. Today you have to pay $500-$700 for a controller that needs a pc/mac extra. So why is it expensive??? This is the wolrd's smallest standalone unit with built in processor. It is so unfair to compair it with the non standalone contollers (at the price range)!
Damn! Can't wait to have this beast!
Great job. I put a usb drive in the back but how do you search for music? I tried but it doesn’t show up. Also, how do you load a bunch of songs from one list at the same time?
After the huge success of the MPC Live II with (Jawbone) speaker, Akai (Denon) will release a GO II with speaker next. That's the only thing missing from this unit.
Just got one and will be using it to throw underground raves in Toronto Canada :-) I've been on turntables til now but this is going to open up so many location possibilities with my SOUNDBOK's 122 db battery powered bluetooth speaker!
SUCCESS! had about 300 people at a beach rave and have now started booking clubs!
Can't decide to get this or the SC Live 4. For an extra $300, you get a fuller controller
Like to see someone jam with the Denon DJ Prime Go & the new Akai MPC One. Stream music to the Go and sample on the One. Bit silly that they didn't keep the wifi from MPC Live for MPC One, so maybe if you could route the ethernet from the One through the Go to access the internet without a PC or Mac could be cool too. Ethernet could also be used to sync both devices together like Pro DJ Link, etc
I want this damn little thing. Denon is reslly great
Glad I've waited the NAMM 2020
Really needs bluetooth enabled for speakers, and (like the Prime 2), Serato DJ Pro (or at least Lite) support.
Buyin' one
Good job denon. Like the direction. Pioneer is now forced to react. Not with that xdjrz garbage either. Price quality and inovation
This is sick wow
