The DDJ-SX2 is a beast! Plus a major upgrade from the original DDJ-SX! - Jogwheels are a nice size & perfect for scratching. - Soundcard packs a serious punch as usual with Pioneer DJ products. - Crossfader & up fades are smooth. - The mic sounds 10x better and clean vocals - You have all 3 kinds of outputs (RCA, 1/4 Inch, XLR) - 4 Channel Mixer - Powerful & colorful performance pads - Needle search - Huge, but lightweight and doesn't look like a toy And so many other features you'll love! My last controller for a long while!

Just get it !!! I've had different controllers in the past numark hercules etc this is the best hands down !! Serato is a beast with this mixer and since it's a stand alone mixer you can add other music sources to it for flexibility. High quality audio output,rgb pads,large jog wheels are only the beginning !!! Get one and start mixing now!!

I was torn between the Numark NS7 III and the Pioneer DDJ SX2, I'm so glad I chose this lightweight masterpiece, its everything I needed and wanted, I purchased the DVS package and hooked my Denon SC2900's to them and its incredible, thanks zZounds for the speedy service.

I'm very happy with my Pioneer DDJ-SX2 DJ Controller. I come from a background where I started with 2 turntables and then I reluctantly moved to a CD mixer. Being a much older DJ, but a computer savvy guy I have totally embraced this technology. I'm still learning all of the features but with Serato DJ and this controller a whole new way of mixing has been opened up to me and those who I teach to mix.

Having owned the SX, SX2, and the SZ2...I came back to the SX2. I just downgraded from the SZ2 because of the size(but, I do miss the jog wheel size), and except for a couple of features that I don’t use/need, the SX2 should suit most Mobile DJs needs. It’s the perfect size for most any venue, lightweight and portable.....the only things I would wish for are adjustable jogwheel tension(coming from the SZ2, it’s a feeling to get used to again, along with the lack of backspin because of it), and again the jogwheel size( once you go bigger, it’s hard to go back). So, don’t hesitate if you’re thinking about getting one. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent product by Pioneer as always. The mic input is infinitely better, as there is less feedback and distortion. I only play out 2x a week, so this can definitely handle the use that comes with the territory. Great buy and well worth it if you're on the fence.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I LOVE this controller. I went from a hercules instinct, to a pioneer ddj sr, to the pioneer ddj sx2 over the course of 2 years. I upgraded to the SX2 after I realized that I didn't want to be a "bedroom dj" anymore. The controller is feels great. The build quality of it is wonderful. My most inportant phyiscal feature on a controller is the jog wheels. The jog wheels are built with plastic on the sides, and some form of metal on the top. It doesn't feel cheap like the ddj SR jog wheels. Although not as real as the Numark controllers(my opinion), it still feels good. It took me about a 2 weeks to master the controller (with the help of YouTube), and I there are many features. I've recently decided to go public with DJ-Ing. I've done about 5 different venues (clubs and bars), that all included around 50-80 people. With my DDJ SX2 and my Mackie Thump 15s, each of my events went extremely well. My only complaint is the mic feature. Unfortunately if you want to use a mic with your controller, you have to use a channel...which will be one of your decks. So if you use a mic, you will have 3 decks instead of 4. Way to go pioneer..... Other than that, I love the ddj sx2.

Best controller in the 1,000 range. Great for someone who wants a 4 channel mixer that suits anyone from a beginner to a pro dj. If your looking for a simply amazing investment and enjoy playing with music as much as I do then this is for you and with Pioneer being my favorite manufacturer in the industry it's a no brainier. Also Serato has and still is the best software out there in my opinion if you want to look like the real deal!

This is a great controller and does pretty much everything the ddj-sz2 does, but for a lot less money. It is also smaller so makes it more convenient carrying to gigs. Great price on a really nice controller and zZounds price matches, so can't beat that!

The board so far has been a tremendous addition to my setup. No longer will I have to carry my heavy flight case with my cdj's this board does it all and then some and best part, it works flawlessly with virtual dj. Except for the flip function. I haven't figured that out yet but then again I never used it before so not sure if Im missing anything.

I was not really the controller type of Dj.
