BPM 2015: Pioneer DDJ-RX Rekordbox DJ Controller

x

Last updated 4 August, 2017

Pioneer DDJ-RX — Pioneer DJ launched the new DDJ-RX Rekordbox DJ controller at this year’s BPM Show.

Pioneer DJ unloaded a trove of surprises a few days before the BPM Show, and one of them is the brand new Pioneer DDJ-RX Rekordbox DJ controller. The cosmetics have been given a slight update, along with the more secure P-Lock fader caps. It looks, feels, and functions very similar to the DDJ-SX / DDJ-SX2, with the main exception here being that it’s made specifically for Pioneer’s upcoming Rekordbox 4.0 DJ software.

Check out the talkthrough video below. The Pioneer DDJ-RX will retail for €1,049 and will be available from October 2015. Check out the Pioneer DJ website for more details.
