To test it, I set up a pair in my bedroom along with a DJM-250MK2 mixer – the compact size makes it ideal for cramped bedroom desks, and also perfect for areas for entertaining guests when space is at a premium. The XDJ-700 looks impressive without being obtrusive or intimidating, and can easily blend into any contemporary living room set-up. Use the full color LCD touch screen, and the color On Jog Display in the center of each jog wheel, to keep an eye on waveforms, Hot Cues, BPM, and more. With so much visual information available, you can focus on your performance and keep your eyes off your laptop when you’re performing with rekordbox or Serato DJ Pro. Compatible with rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro

Compact size, great features

You can play from a USB device, phone connected via USB or wireless router, or from a computer running RekordBox connected via a router.. Easily the best thing about the XDJ-700 is its full-colour, high-resolution touchscreen. It’s clear, and crisp, I had no problem using it. Even in a dark, sweaty / humid place like the bar I gigged at, the touchscreen was still responsive. I like the Qwerty keyboard simply because it’s much easier for me to search for songs instead of having to rely solely on the Browse knob. Rekordbox That said, there is a very real opportunity here for the controller DJ who wants to jump to using CDJs at clubs and bars as opposed to taking along a controller and laptop wherever. I’m more of a mobile DJ than a club DJ, so I tend to take my controller along with me because the venue I play at doesn’t have CDJs. As such, I’m perfectly happy with my DDJ-RZ controller. As such, the XDJ-700 is a niche product. However, there is a small audience of controller DJs there who would like to try spinning without a laptop present. They are looking for hardware that would let them cut their teeth on and, at the same time, retain essential functionality, library management, and controls found in DJ booths the world over without spending the equivalent price of a used car (or dipping into their kid’s college fund). For these folk, the XDJ-700 should be on their shortlist, along with the XDJ-1000MK2.

The XDJ-1000MK2 inherits a high-quality audio design from the CDJ-2000NXS2. As well as analogue output terminals, a digital output sends audio without degradation, and the power supply circuit for analogue audio is completely separate from the digital circuit, reducing unwanted noise. The well thought out design of the XDJ-700 is evident through its compact design yet it has not compromised on any of the superb features. Instead, a multiplayer has been built for use in venues looking to save on space or any home set-up. The size of the unit itself is 238mm (W) x 308mm (D) x 106mm (H) or if the stand is not needed then 79mm in height. Features: VirtualDJ Home is the free version of the most popular DJ mixing software of the same name, used by professionals. It has a few limitations compared to the pro version, but it is capable of mixing audio and videos yielding somewhat professional result. With this program, users can start creating basic mixing compilations; and even though it’s not really a program for novices, it’s intuitive and can be learned fast. The Pioneer XDJ-RR is a brand new 2-channel all-in-one DJ system that runs using Pioneer’s proprietary Rekordbox DJ software and has been designed to help aspiring DJs learn essential and professional techniques so they can take their knowledge to the DJ booth with confidence. The XDJ-RR inherits a wealth of professional controls and functions from the flagship NXS2 range and loads them into a highly-portable, lightweight unit that is ideal for bedrooms, parties, and gigs as you progress through the DJ ranks. Mixer SectionOf course, if you’re a club or pro DJ who spins on CDJs regularly, and you’d want some kit that you can use at home while retaining the Rekordbox workflow, the XDJ-700 are a cost-effective option, as far as Pioneer DJ gear goes. A 7-inch, full-colour touch screen gives DJs intuitive control of the player’s features, while the three windows – browse, play and perform – stop the screen getting overcrowded. Browsing is effortless; DJs can choose to scroll using the rotary dial or call up the QWERTY keyboard to do a keyword search. My Settings: Prepare your system’s setting preferences in rekordbox and instantly switch to your own settings during DJ changeovers in the booth. Professional layout for familiarity at home and in the booth The XDJ-1000 mirrors the layout of the club standard CDJs, so DJs can perfect their sets at home and move effortlessly to the booth to perform. The 206 mm jog wheels are the same size as those on the CDJ-2000NXS, for instant familiarity wherever a DJ plays. The Pioneer XDJ-700 is a compact and affordable media player designed to be used with RekordBox and has a large touchscreen.

I also took a pair of XDJ-700s with me to a DJ gig. It’s in this tiny dive bar that gets really rowdy on weekends. I normally take my DDJ-RZ, and that makes switchovers a hassle because the desk in the DJ box can hardly fit it without shuffling other gear around, so the XDJ-700’s smaller form factor was a huge plus. The bar has an older DJM-350 two-channel mixer, so I just hooked up the XDJ-700s to the line inputs and spun from a thumb drive for an hour and a half.
