Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX3 DJ System

The Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX3 all-in-one DJ System features an advanced 10.1-inch touch screen and inherits the flexibility and practicality of its predecessor while packing a host of features from the renowned club-standard CDJ-3000 DJ Multi Player and DJM-900NXS2 DJ mixer.

Whether an artist is looking for a cutting-edge portable setup for mobile performances or a venue manager is needing a new system to install in a bar or small venue, the XDJ-RX3 covers all the bases. Similar to the XDJ-RX2, artists can choose between playing rekordbox-analyzed tracks from USB drives or connecting a laptop to unlock rekordbox "Performance" mode.

Support for Serato DJ Pro

Simply connect the XDJ-RX3 to your PC/Mac to instantly control tracks in your Serato playlists using the all-in-one DJ system. You can trigger effects and Hot Cues with the buttons on the unit, use the jog wheels for scratching, and change the tempo with the pitch sliders. The XDJ-RX3 also displays track information on 10.1-inch screen so you can quickly select your next track without looking at your computer.

The 10.1-inch touch screen on the XDJ-RX3 delivers a higher resolution and frame rate and features an interface for quick music browsing and easy effects control. The all-in-one system inherits the flagship CDJ-3000’s browse section for intuitive playlist navigation. With the "Playlist Bank" feature, artists can rapidly access their four favorite playlists at a single touch, while "Touch Preview" enables artists to… read more listen to any part of a track without loading it to the deck.

Artists can switch between viewing the pad status or Beat FX and the X-Pad with one tap on the screen. The 3-Band Waveform feature, also from the CDJ-3000, allows artists to see the volume levels of different frequency ranges in rekordbox-analyzed tracks for a clear visual representation of how tracks sound.

The XDJ-RX3 also features an On-Jog Display which displays important track information or artwork on the LCD screen in the center of each jog wheel for user reference. Artists can also customize the “weight” of the jogs by tweaking each jog wheel’s Feeling Adjust dial. Artists looking to make every mix sound unique can do so with all 14 Beat FX and six Sound Color FX from the DJM-900NXS2. Dynamic music manipulation is easier with the Performance Pads and the added Release FX.

The all-in-one system features audio converters and a completely revoiced output to produce a powerful, clear sound that is club ready. Artists will recognize the layout design of the XDJ-RX3 as it parallels the club-standard Pioneer DJ equipment design, with elements like illumination around the play and cue buttons, along with the Color On Jog Display.

10.1-inch Touch Screen: Instinctively Browse Playlists, Mix tracks and Apply Effects

The XDJ-RX3 features a 10.1-inch touch screen, noticeably larger than the XDJ-RX2’s 7-inch screen, making it the largest screen on a Pioneer DJ all-in-one system. The screen also delivers a high resolution 1280:800 (WXGA), increased frame rate, fresh GUI design, and a host of features for easy navigation, quick browsing, and accurate mixing. The system’s screen also shortens track scrolling time as the browse section features 12 tracks instead of 8.

Playlist Bank

Playlist Bank allows artists to add four playlists to the Playlist Bank for rapid playlist access and quick track selection.

Touch Preview

Artists can preview any part of a track without loading it to a deck by touching its waveform in the relevant place in the browse section—similar to how an artist would on the CDJ-3000 Multi Player.

Phrase Display

Phrase Display utilizes rekordbox’s track analysis technology to visually showcase track structure and music progression with sections such as the intro, chorus, and bridge indicated on the overall waveform.

3-Band Waveform

3-Band Waveform is a popular feature from the CDJ-3000 indicating the volume of the high, mid, and low frequency bands in rekordbox analyzed files with different colors. This indication allows artists to better understand the music’s composition by looking at the waveform. 3-Band Waveform comes in addition to the previous RGB and Blue options.

Pad Status Display

With Pad Status Display, artists can view the Performance Pad mode to know exactly what to expect before hitting a pad.

Beat FX Bank and X-Pad

Artists can save their four favorite effects to the Beat FX Bank to quickly activate the effects with a single touch. Also, for the first time ever in an all-in-one DJ system, the X-Pad integrates into the touch screen, giving artists a simple way to apply complex-sounding effects by swiping their finger from side to side.

Countdown Timer

Artists can set a timer to count down to a specific point in their set. For example, midnight on New Year’s Eve, the moment a vocalist is due to join a performance, or the hand over to another DJ. The Countdown Timer feature reminds artists of an approaching crucial moment.

Repeat Mode

In the case an artist needs to leave the booth, they can play a track or playlist on repeat to keep the music going while away with the XDJ-RX3’s Repeat Mode. This feature is helpful in situations such as sound checks, saving artists from constantly going back to the booth to hit play.

Color On Jog Display: Visually Grasp Track Information

The XDJ-RX3’s jog wheels feature a center LCD screen to indicate a track’s playhead position, along with an improvement in wheel rotation responsiveness. Artists can also choose to display track artwork as a reminder of the track that is loaded on the deck. Additionally, artists can adjust the “weight” of each jog wheel to their preference with the Feeling Adjust control.

More Beat FX and Sound Color FX

The XDJ-RX3 includes all the effects from its predecessor, plus an extra six Beat FX, and two additional Sound Color FX. The system also features the full range of effects from the renowned DJM-900NXS2 with 14 Beat FX including Ping Pong, Filter, Phaser, Slip Roll, Vinyl Brake, Helix, and six Sound Color FX including Space and Crush.

Release FX: Inject New Energy Into Performances

Artists can hit the Performance Pads to instantly change the energy of their performance, whether they want to add drama to a section of a track or create an exciting moment before transitioning to another song on the other deck. For example, artists might use Echo Out or Spin Out to dynamically mix into the next track. Choose from 8 effect types: Vinyl Brake (Short/Long), Backspin (Short/Long), Echo Out, Build Up, Mute, and Ducking.

Plug and Play: Rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro Compatibility

- The XDJ-RX3 can play rekordbox-analyzed music from USB storage devices via Export mode, or artists can connect a laptop to use Link Export or Performance mode via USB-HID control. Because the XDJ-RX3 is a Hardware Unlock device, rekordbox Performance mode can be used for free -- there’s no need for a paid subscription plan -- so artists can play all the tracks in their rekordbox library and enjoy free use of all the features in the Core plan when a laptop is connected. Free plug-and-play compatibility for Serato DJ Pro is included, too.

Natural Audio: Hear the True Sound of Mixes

The XDJ-RX3 features a circuit board audio design with audio converters and a completely revoiced output to create a punchy low-end and expressive mid-high frequencies. The unit design delivers sound authentic to the original source, allowing the audience to experience the music as the artist intends.

Refined Design: Add a Pro Look to the Setup

With contrasting surface finishes on different sections of the unit, a club-standard layout design featuring illumination around the play and cue buttons, and Color On Jog Displays, the XDJ-RX3 carries a look echoing a professional setup.
