Pioneer OPUS-QUAD Full Review & First Look!
More Info: bit.ly/3S4hifc
The OPUS-QUAD puts professional DJs in control of their music, creating harmony between design, musical playability, and offers multiple advanced features such as standalone 4-deck playback. All this combines to provide a spectacular DJ experience that DJs can harness to inspire their audience in any space or location.
The OPUS-QUAD has a unique look. A unique fan shaped, sloping top plate not only looks sophisticated, but also enhances the operation and comfort during play. For the first time ever on a Pioneer DJ all-in-one DJ system, the OPUS-QUAD offers standalone 4-deck playback to enable versatile DJ performances. And with support for various media source types including USB-C and USB-A, the OPUS-QUAD provides DJs with flexibility.
With OPUS-QUAD, DJs can easily find tracks in the biggest music libraries via an intuitive large touch display and a new rotary selector. Once DJs create a set and begin performing, the OPUS-QUAD’s deck configuration makes performing comfortable and easy as DJs can view track information for each deck with a single glance.
OPUS-QUAD produces high-quality audio at any venue. With zone output, you even have the option to output audio that’s separate from the master audio, giving you the option to play different music genres in different rooms of a venue from just one unit.

In conclusion, they took the DJ-XZ, added usb-c, slapped a bigger screen, added two more screens and updated the software. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice piece of kit, but theres nothing new or revolutionary for the price. Personally, I'm still working with the DDJ-1000 and I've yet to see a new controller that will impress me enough to upgrade.

I just did a gig on my Denon DJ SC Live (shameless plug), but I had my hotspot from my phone and streamed with beatsource and Amazon music, did't miss a beat (pun intended). Now for $3k, they got a helluva journey with this one. I'm good with what I got, but great review as always.

The area in the slider that you wanted to click is called a "detent" so when you have a slider or knob that has an area where they click into or come to a rest in the middle its called a "detent". This unit is amazing I would like to get one.

I got my prime 4 before the pandemic & it was $1300, middle of pandemic that prime increased in price to $1800. MY GOD $3K for a pioneer that has all the same technical DJ features, including the sound effects & functionality, but minus the streaming services and internal drive capability. What ever Pioneer is smoking they're having us front the bill for them.

@dj-peterofficial2753 Жыл бұрын

@@djchrisdisc There's a lot missing on the prime 4 that are seldom or never talked about. Mostly because users of the Prime 4 who love it don't have the knowledge about the differences or have, but don't use them. For us who do need those features it's critical features which makes me wonder why Denon skipped on those or why they at least haven't implemented the ones that should be easy to fix with a software update. i got the Prime 4, and to me it wa a brick, and I had spend hours to research and knew just about everything all the reviewers and Denon themselves told about it. Took me about 5 minutes before i realized all that was missing, and while i couldn't get rid of it fast enough, it took me 3 months and a huge loss of money, which is a whole other problem in itself. So Pioneer it is, for me. At least i gave Denon a chance and I'm happy for all of you who love their new gear.

Hey Nick, question for ya. So we know Pioneer stated that you cant hook up the unit to CDJ3000s or DJS1000 via ProDj Link. Do you have a work around this issue? Will hooking up to a laptop bypass this challenge and enable conventional syncing to the external units? Just connecting those units via RCA creates extra work if you just want to get creative and not work about beatmatching and nudging. Feedback much appreciated. Appreciate your content.

I just ordered it and can't wait to have it. BUT, there are, as you said, a few cons. The cue buttons can`t be assigned to other functions, like my SZ2 for example, like rolls, slicer, sampler, etc. Why didn´t they put a DMX out and stem buttons on it, like the FLX10? I hope they have Stems always on the screen, when playing with serato. Why not making a touchscreen which you can flip up/down? Now the flightcases have to be much bigger too, to make it fit. And honestly, when did you use ever a second zone? And if so, make it compatible with SONOS and/or HEOS. No DVS? Why? I love the design though and the features like 3 USB ports, WiFi, Bluetooth and the big touchscreen. Let´s hope I have just as much fun the next years , like I had with my SZ2 :)
