      Isn’t that kinda obvious why an XZ2 probably isn’t gonna happen any time soon? With the new 3000s and the A9, a stand-alone unit that offers (almost) identical features but for a lower price tag would just cannibalize Pioneers own top-of-the-line products.

      Facts, but I bet they don't want to release new versions of the stuff we actually want because they know they can't meet production expectations.

    I’m not sure what I think of this, I love the idea of trying to keep a minimalistic look but I think having physical switches is better than everything inside the Programm. Imagine your mixing at a festival and your applying an effect but chose the wrong deck in that setting by accident, but you already switched screens for your mix and get lost in the Programm. I think this is a great idea but should be made more simple by just keeping the buttons for assigning things. This is only my opinion you may agree or not.

      Fortunately, this was not designed for festival DJ performances. It was designed for a more all around DJ; a wedding DJ perhaps? This also could be a really great unit for creating sets to later be performed on CDJ setup. It certainly does have it’s possibilities but it’s still not my cup of tea.

      @@akira2k513 I don’t know any dj’s that are going to do technical 4 deck mixing at weddings. I’d say this is more for club dj’s but then you’d expect the club to have equipment already and probably wouldn’t have something like this in the dj booth. This is my gripe with all these new products, there’s so many different options. If the price tag wasn’t so hefty I’d invest but they all become succeeded, and inevitably obsolete, quite quickly. It’s not like a pair of technics that still get used to this day. If a dj rider stipulates a pair of technics you can use any model from the mk2 onwards. They hold their value too. I really want to invest in something like this but I know give it 2-3 years there’ll be an Opus nexus or something along those lines and this will be dated and you’d lose a fair chunk selling it to upgrade. I don’t know anyone who sold a pair of technics to upgrade to a newer model. It’s a conundrum

      @@eupel1, trust me, no club or festival DJ would ever want to use the OQ in a performance; they might entertain one at home for fun but to practice on they will want what has long since come to be known as the club standard setup. On an all in one unit, this is best represented by the XDJ-XZ; even Pioneer makes it a point to say that the OQ is not a replacement to the XZ. I stand by what I said originally; this could very well be Pioneer experimenting to see what features mainstream DJs would like to add to the “club standard” workflow. Oh yes, you’re right most DJs will not use 4 decks but many would like to have the option “just in case”. It’s a classic case of FOMO when you don’t have it even if you will never use it. It should be noted that pro DJs who want to use 4 decks will always prefer 4 physical decks rather than layered decks as this complicates the work flow drastically. Can you imagine James Hype playing on layered decks? He would have a sh*t fit.

    Large screen, 4channel it's definitely a response to the Denon P4 and no doubt will be a great bit of kit. I think the jogs are oversized for just mixing and makes the unit a bit big.. I have a P4 and it's already a large footprint. Looking forward to getting a play on this to see Pioneers take on a standalone 4 channel package and what they offer for that extra cost. Initially not a fan of the screens either side, just more distractions. I choose the Prime 4 as I wanted away from the laptop and the one screen has everything needed. Can't wait ot get a play on it 🤟

    Thanks Jamie. Great review and a compelling new standalone! At 11:20 ..Denon already offers all of this on their Primes, and has XLR Zone Out, an excellent 2-band EQ on the Booth out (!). Bought a MINT Prime 4 for $650, too good a deal to pass up, yeah, the FX SUCK, but the audio interface is remarkable. I've been DJ'ing since 1984 and to my ears, as much as I LOVE Pioneer.. the Denon's sound quality is unsurpassed. They just need to sort out their software & FX. It's like their hardware team is A+ but their design and software team is C-level. But yessss! This looks completely new. Can't wait to demo this. Not crazy about the line fader and EQ architecture (seems crunched together to accomodate the screen), but yes, looks amazing w 3 displays. Undecided on the "Curve"

Then price is twice as the controller I emulated. I don’t need to use the “Club Standard” as an excuse anymore. Now let me see if our loyal Pioneerians get suckered into buying this.

I found that I almost always toggle off the low end, leaving the effect to work on only the mid and hi frequencies.

    I think that this piece of gear is just like the BMW M3 Competition: At first, I despised the design, but after seeing those reviews, all the features it packs, and the fact that each deck slowly morphs into a CDJ-3000 with the hot cues and the display, I started to like this. In fact, I would buy this instead of the XZ, and equally appreciate this and the clearly-upcoming XZ MK2. It is essentially a full 10000 euros 4 CDJ + DJM setup in a package that's like 3 times less the cost. Really considering buying one of these in the near future. With this and the FLX4, Pioneer really smashed the competition.
    Kudos to you Crossfader, aswell, for the awesome reviews!
    Edit: The only thing missing is Slip, but, as you said, they could add it through a firmware update on the screen.

    Price = £2900. A little too much but good review. At this price why not buy;
    1. *RANE 70* Battle DJ & Scratch Mixer .Price = £1499
    2. *RANE 12 Mk2 Turntable* £739 each, x2 = £1478
    Total price = £2977.
    (Just £77 more)
    I do miss the days when there was a cap on the price DJs had to pay for professional club equipment (x2 Technics 1210s (£350 each) and a Technics DMC 2 channel scratch mixer) and the rest was all down to your turntable skills and vinyl collection. This equipment had great resale value too. If you decided to quit or take a break there was never a shortage of people happy to buy your equipment for near to what you paid for it.
    Not sure how easy it would be for you to get anywhere near £2900 for the Opus-quad if you decided to quit after 3 -5 years. Who else can afford it and would trust spending that much money on something 2nd hand from a stranger? ....but anyway..... Just my thoughts.
    I welcome any comments and alternate perspectives.

      Hello Klaus, I follow your channel. I'm pretty sure you understand this.
      🎧All I can say about this new "beautiful" boxy mixer with plenty of space and not enough faders so you can prioritize a fader with your own effects, rather than relying on a knob to select an effect and touch the screen to do it for you. When you are performing, you need time, you need extra hands, you need buttons to be closer, not in a row
      Now you buy new equipment and only learn or use 10% of it until the next one, it's not practical for you the dj
      One thing industries are doing now. The more crap they make, the more money they make with you.
      Next, you can't rely on drop box or any cloud music stuff. No for performing or events. You need your laptop or your drive... and bring your own music or edits

    Same for the interaction, why is everything controlled through the touchscreen, when I've got sweaty hands and maybe had 1-3 beers I want knobs not a little flimsy touch screen...
    And to be honest, the layout isnt that good ether, I thought the Xz should mimic a Cdj Set up. Now what's this a Prime 4 set-up🤷🏼‍♂️
    I think the Rx3 is now a much much better deal... From the layout to the design everybody can use it. For this on the other hand you'll need an introduction😂

    When the XDJ-XZ came out it was so impressive and I thought Pioneer was only going to make them better from there. Was that the peak for a 4 Channel Standalone Unit? We'll have to see....

    • @phillipmarnik

      The XZ was only a 2 channel controller.
      The Opus Quad is their first 4 channel controller.

    • @ThiemenDoppenberg
      @ThiemenDoppenberg Рік тому +2

      Yes that XDJ-XZ has four channels, but the system could only play on two. The other two could be used when hooking up additional players like a vinyl or a CDJ. So that was kind of a bummer because it was supposed to be their top tier standalone mixer. I think this Opus Quad is some nice innovation from Pioneer and I like that they look for a new design. This reminds me of stealth fighter jets. The FLX6-GT also has that nice stealth grey color with orange/blue LEDs and now this Opus Quad too. I like that.
      EDIT: I believe all four channels could be used using a laptop with Rekordbox (but then it is not stand-alone anymore), but I'm not sure as I do not have this product and did not do any additional research

    Denon DJ Prime 4 remains King of the Standalone Mixers. Three main reasons: 1. Lack of Performance Pads 2. Hot Cues are forward of the platters meaning that a palm touch could ruin your mix. 3. Lack of Streaming Services. At nearly twice the price of a Denon DJ Prime 4, there is no excuse for these missing features.
