The XDJ-R1 also has a healthy number of inputs and outputs so users can plug in additional CD decks or turntables for additional mixing playback possibilities. There are controls for hot cues, loops, samples, and the popular Beat & Sound Color FX that are pulled directly from the new Pioneer DJM series Mixers. The XDJ-R1 will come with a Free version of Virtual DJ LE for those who want to use the 4-channel mixing capabilities while attached to a computer and in MIDI mode.

The XDJ-R1 will be available in June with the retail price of $1100. We'll be sure to get one in the lab as soon as we can for a full HD-Video review. Check out the full press release for additional details below.

Fresh off the heels of yesterday's new announcement made by Pioneer DJ Division regarding the release of the new DDJ-ERGO-K (Limited Edition); Pioneer has kicked it up another notch by announcing the new Pioneer XDJ-AERO Wireless Digital DJ Controller which can playback and DJ music from any Wi-Fi device such as smartphones, iPads, laptops, or any other device that is capable of using Pioneer's music managing software Rekordbox. The XDJ-AERO can also function as a standalone mixer, as a HID controller for Virtual DJ, and as a MIDI controller for Traktor or Serato. Check out the video, press release and our words inside.

The Pionner XDJ-Aero All-in-one Wireless DJ system is a compact and versatile machine that allows DJ's to playback music using many different media formats including live streaming via wireless devices running the Remotebox software or App. Pioneer has just released the new XDJ-Aero 3.0 Firmware upgrade and Rekordbox 1.2 that now allows users to control functions of the mix such as loops and effects directly from a mobile device.

Many people have speculated that a new all-in-one Pioneer DJ Rekordbox player would eventually show up one day... That day is today as Pioneer DJ has just announced their new All-In-One XDJ-RX Rekordbox DJ system. The new system includes a full seven-inch color display which shows parallel waveforms, cue points, track information, and much more. The Pioneer XDJ-RX is a true two-channel standalone mixer, has two USB slots for multiple music sources, and can also be used as a DJ Controller for Traktor Pro 2.

Today Pioneer announced a brand new affordable and compact media player and controller called the XDJ-700. The new Pioneer XDJ-700 replaces the original CDJ-350 as the smaller and lower-priced deck option for DJ's who want club-like performance in their own personal setup without breaking the bank. The XDJ-700 is fully compatible with Rekordbox, has a USB slot for drives, and can also be linked to other players and mixers with the Link cable for deck sharing, BPM sync, and much more.

We recently reviewed the new Pioneer XDJ-AERO all in one wireless digital DJ mixstation and it was really one of the best times I've had on any DJ controller in recent memory. It was very easy to use, had great feel and construction, and lots of different ways that DJ's can mix their music together. The new Pioneer XDJ-AERO now has a 2.0 Firmware update which gives DJ's better control over the sample banks and a few other improvements here and there. Check out the Pioneer DJ Video of the new 2.0 Firmware features and check out my full HD-Video review to see if this is the choice for you.

Pioneer DJ has announced that there is a brand new Serato DJ controller coming out next month called the Pioneer DDJ-SX2. The DDJ-SX2 is a new version of the ever-popular DDJ-SX which we reviewed when it was released almost two years ago. The new Pioneer DDJ-SX2 inherits all of the features of the original and adds multi-color RGB backlit Performance pads, hotcue markers on the jog wheel display, Serato Flip controls, and it is Serato DJ DVS compatible right out of the box.
