DDJ-SX3

DDJ-SX3

Pioneer DJ

Description

Building on the success of its predecessor, the portable DDJ-SX3 controller is designed for dedicated use with Serato DJ Pro, boasting expanded connectivity and the same intuitive interface and pro-grade quality that demanding DJs have come to expect from Pioneer. Upgraded dual USB ports allow for smooth DJ transitions, while a dedicated mic terminal on the front of the DDJ-SX3 keeps the 4-channel mixing section free for other inputs.

With a familiar layout and a high-quality casing, the DDJ-SX3 improves on the DDJ-SX2 which earned a strong reputation among professional DJs. The portable controller's intuitive interface and professional features let you bring fresh creativity to your performances at all kinds of gigs, from club nights and parties to weddings and corporate events. It also offers expanded connectivity to give you greater flexibility when you’re juggling DJs, MCs and guest speakers. Changeovers are now seamless, even when the DJ playing before you use a different laptop, as you can each plug into one of the dual USB ports at the same time

Thanks to the dedicated Mic input terminal on the front of the DDJ-SX3, you can talk to the crowd without needing to occupy any of the four mixer channels. And with twin Mic inputs on the rear of the controller, you can keep hold of one mic while another two are out on the floor, without interrupting your mix. Control the level, tweak EQs and apply FX to all three mics independently. Spice up your sets with the four popular Sound Color FX and use the Key Shift, Key Sync and Pitch Play features to effortlessly mix tracks harmonically and create live remixes.

Unlock Serato DJ Pro by plugging the DDJ-SX3 into a computer running the software. You don’t need a subscription or license key—simply download Serato DJ Pro. Vouchers for the Serato Flip and Pitch ‘n Time DJ Expansion Packs are included with the DDJ-SX3, so you can use Flip, Key Shift, Key Sync, Pitch Play and other advanced features for free.

Despite its highly portable and modern design, professional DJs who are used to full-sized CDJ media players and Pioneer's flagship, 4-channel mixers found in many night clubs will immediate feel at home at the helm of the DDJ-SX3 digital controller. The integrated 4-channel mixing section boasts the same feel and layout as Pioneer's industry standard mixers that DJs have come to expect at many venues. Even old-school DJs who appreciate the tactile experience of DJing with two analog turntables will fall in love with the silky-smooth, capacitive jog wheels on the DDJ-SX3.

Awesome! Upgraded from DDJ-SX1

it really is better than sx2, i can feel the difference, has a few different things, and if you havent gotten flip or pitch n time, it comes with vouchers for both packs. Also, there has been a "recall" for anyone that has problems with it. Mine was manufactured in July, used it for 4 hours at club and it worked good, no flaws or errors.

Skeptical in buying

This is not an actual review. However my concerns from many claims of this equipment being faulty straight out of the box. I don't like bricked purchases, although this unit was supposed to be an awesome upgrade from its other two successors SX,SX2 with the added new features . EVERY GC store I been to in my area either has an abundance of units on the previous owned equipment shelf, and or a display that doesn't work. I haven't heard anything about this equipment issues being fixed. For me a $1000 to $1200 piece of equipment should feel like an awesome purchase instead of fears of purchasing a lemon. Strongly eyeing a DDJ-SR2 upgrading from a DDJ-SB3 which is a great piece of equipment for beginners, and priced perfectly.

    As Guam is a US territory, you should be able to use United States as country. USPS is the only shipping method to Guam that we have. If you continue to have problems contact us @ 866-498-7882.

    Is this one of the versions that Pioneer has repaired? Because several of the Sx 3's are with a factory fault?

    Open Reply -
    These are from the newest batch and should not have any faults.
