I'm a mobile dj using Virtual Dj and the Prime 4, and as said, that's a brilliant combination. I sometimes play on Pioneer gear as well, but I always miss my Prime 4 when I do. The only downside is already mentioned as well: to go from Virtual Dj control to stand alone, the player has to restart which takes about 20 seconds.

I'm a Team Denon guy...SC5KMs, LC6Ks, X1850 & a Prime GO but when it came to the P4, sold it after 3 months. Bells n whistles are nice but build quality felt too Numark'ish. Makes for a good mobile DJ rig but I doubt the P4 would fair well in a booth at a bar or lounge with multiple DJs hammering on it. XZ on the other hand would be perfect for that environment. They just have 2 different target consumers

Denon for the win!!!!
They will dominate one day

Hi Steve,
Can you please tell us, how these 2 units compare on the sound quality?

[pierrefitch]

Can I connect my prime 4 to my Akai MPC one ?

[PhongSimmachan]

which recommend to buy?
Pioneer CDJ 2000 DJM 900 or Denon Prime 4

[DJLueder]

You want a bigger screen or a badass layout? 🤷‍♂️

[TheMirko]

I had both and in the end I chose the XDJ RX3.

Thanks for the video. I have the XZ and love it. I’ll admit it, if Denon was the industry standard and not Pioneer I would of got the Denon. Pioneer has dominated for years and there is no denying their rigs are durable and respected. But I am a label/brand snob so I went with Pioneer out the gate.

I’m confused on the whole 2 channel vs 4. Say with the Denon, you can use any channel at anytime. But with Pioneer your only limited to channels 1 and 2. In order to use 3 or 4 you need external help. Why does that even matter if your only a 2 channel DJ?

Say you would like to use a vocal only as well as two songs. On the Denon would you still need external help with a CDJ to play it?

[Juicebxable]

The xz being able to plug external as a controller wothout stopping the mix is huge. It makes the xz the daddy sustem vs prime 4 for 1 guy

[craigardron]

Love my denon, , only thing I want that it won't let me do is record mixes without the mic in the audio, , sort it out denon please, , apart from that, , all gravy

[jasondaly]

Denon is much better in build quality and much more powerful the pioneer is slower because denon has the more powerful system under the hood you could go on for ages about its pro and I suppose cons the fact it’s not industry standard but it’s the music that matters

[craigardron]

Prime 4 does have 3band EQ on mic 1, , jus sayin

[wernerxldata]

Don't know if I'm alone in this but I really think Denon went overboard with their colors and lights, makes it look cheap, while it's a quality build machine.

Play hard on the denon ? It will fall apart
