About this deal

One of the main and most obvious differences between these two controllers is the fact that the RX2 is significantly heavier than the RR. I'm honestly not completely sure why that's the case, but it's definitely one of the things that I dislike about the RX2. I tend to be on the move a lot, plugging and unplugging my equipment and going from one gig to another often, so I tend to prefer lighter and more portable equipment. If this is also your case, you might want to consider the RR instead. Again not everybody is going to be using the extra inputs, especially if you are a bedroom DJ. However, I do recommend that anybody that is starting to mix in gigs to get something with more connectivity options. After all, you do not know when they will come in handy. The XDJ RX2 has more FX The XDJ-RR is a good entry level unit for DJ’s who want to advance into the Rekordbox USB eco system. The size and portability of the unit will help it become a firm favourite for DJ’s just starting out in bedroom and house parties.

Inputs and outputs are always an important consideration when choosing DJ hardware. Fortunately, the Pioneer DJ XDJ RR has quite a bit of versatility to offer. There’s a single master XLR and 1 master RCA. You don’t get a booth output included, which might be a problem for mobile or club DJs looking at this unit. Though some elements are missing from this device that you would get on more expensive mixers – for the price, the functionality is quite rich. Unlike it's bigger brother, the XDJ RR only has 3 beat FX and 4 sound color FX, which might be enough for some DJs out there. If having a diverse amount of effects at your disposal is something that you can't live without, then choosing the RX2 over the RR is obviously the best choice. But if it isn't that important to you, then saving some money and getting the RR might be the wiser choice instead. The XDJ RR doesn't have a touch screen Max dimensions (W x D x H): Lch: 146 x 227 x 223 mm / 5.75” x 8.94” x 8.78”, Rch 146 x 227 x 212 mm / 5.75” x 8.94” x 8.35” There are extensive effects integrated directly into the unit which do not require a laptop to work and allow you to screw and add spatial effects to your mixes. A sound colour FX section provides you with four effects including dub echo, filter, noise, and pitch with a dedicated rotary control on each channel to adjust the sound colour FX, while a beat FX provides you with three time-based effects: echo, reverb, and flanger. Using the channel selector, you can make the beat FX individually affect channel 1, channel 2, or the master channel while a level/depth control lets you smoothly dial in the effects into your mix. 7-inch full-colour screenWeighing in a whopping 43% (5kg) lighter than the XDJ-RX2, the RR is a serious featherweight. The smaller dimensions (62cm x74cm) and cheaper construction materials help this units portability but don’t help the overall feel. Unlike the bigger XDJ-RX2 which inherits parts directly taken from the flagship Nexus players, the RR has to make do with cheaper plastics. As such the RR feels very much like the entry level DDJ-400 controller. Sound Color FX: Add texture and tension by simply turning the knob: Filter, Noise, Dub Echo, Pitch.

All you get is a single volume knob and the ability to switch between portable and line gain levels. Pioneer created the XDJ RR for this new modern landscape. The latest XDJ-33 standalone Rekordbox system comes with jog wheels, but no center ring lights, as well as a few performance pads and onboard effects. The average DJ experience is growing more diverse. USB drives, vinyl, CDs, DVS, and DJ controllers are all available to bring music mixes to life. The mixer controls work exactly how you’d expect. The faders and knobs feel solid enough, and you can adjust the crossfader in the Rekordbox DJ software. The Pioneer DM-40D loudspeakers come equipped with a 4-inch fibreglass woofer alongside a ¾-inch soft dome tweeter which both work in perfect harmony to deliver pristine audio with excellent sonic accuracy giving your home set up the best sounding audio possible. The DM-40D speakers have inherited Pioneer’s high-quality audio parts such as a front-loaded bass reflex system and DECO technology for a wider sweet spot from their S-DJX and Pro Audio range of speakers which have been combined into a compact design that is perfect for producing, DJing, or simply enjoying music at home. The front-loaded bass reflex system uses grooves on the air ducts to effectively reduce air friction so you’ll always get a tight bass response while DECO convex diffusers fitted in the ¾-inch tweeter work to disperse high-frequencies in every direction ensuring a 3D stereo sound and a wide sweet spot. The Class AB amplifiers work to deliver a super-crisp sound with minimal distortion and to make sure you get a well-balanced frequency response across the whole spectrum the tweeter and woofer are perfectly aligned; this also works to eliminate crossover completely. Pioneer HDJ-X5Both are great choices for anybody looking for something with more features than the average entry-level controller but aren't yet ready to get CDJs. Mixer section with professional FX: Perform smooth, precise mixes using the EQs and channel faders, which feature curves equal to those on the DJM-900NXS2 professional club mixer. You can spice up your sets with FX also inherited from the flagship mixer. Not only is the RX2 heavier, but It's also much bigger dimension-wise too. The RX2 does come with a very useful bag when you buy it new, but you might not get it if you are thinking of buying it used, which in that case means that you are going to buy a bag to move the controller around securely. In contrast to the RX2, the XDJ RR is much more portable and lighter thus moving it around is much easier. The XDJ RX2 feels better made There’s an aux cable input, with RCA connections that allow you to input an external device like a CDJ or an iPod. However, there aren’t any EQ settings available here. The answer is that if you want a more complete controller, with more FX, a touch screen, and better build quality, I'd recommend that you go for the RX2. However, if you are looking for something more affordable, more compact, and lighter, I would advise that you choose the RR instead.
