Pioneer DJ presents a compact, portable and versatile player - the sleek Pioneer DJ XDJ-700. This digital player is ready for rekordbox™ and is equipped with a touchscreen, Pro DJ Link and many performance features from its big brother XDJ-1000. The rekordbox player offers unparalleled setup possibilities. With its compact size and removable stand, it is suitable for even the tightest DJ booth and the smallest niche at home. It is the first player in this price range to feature Pro DJ Link, which allows you to share one source with up to 4 players or laptops. Tracks can be loaded via USB or WiFi to give DJs even more music choice.
The 7" (17.8 cm) full-colour touch screen allows intuitive control of the player, whereas three defined windows - Browse, Play and Perform - provide a clear and quick overview. Browse through your music collection simply by scrolling with the rotary selector or typing in search terms with the on-screen keyboard.
When tracks have been analysed in rekordbox, the large touch screen of the Pioneer DJ XDJ-700 can display the following information:
The DJ XDJ-700 offers almost all the features of the XDJ-1000, many of which are taken from the flagship model CDJ-2000NXS.
Music prepared with rekordbox can be downloaded not only from USB sticks, but from PCs, laptops and smartphones using USB or WiFi connections as well. Simply connect a PC or Mac with rekordbox or an iOS/Android device with the rekordbox app to the XDJ-700. The tracks can then be searched and loaded using the touch screen. Devices connected via USB are charged simultaneously.
With Pro DJ Link, up to four players or laptops can be connected via Ethernet cable and share one source. Rekordbox information such as beat count, phase display, beat sync and key analysis is also made available on all four units.
Pioneer DJ's most compact player to date, the Pioneer DJ XDJ-700 is designed with small DJ booths and home use in mind. The player only measures 238 x 308 x 106 mm (W x D x H). In addition, the stand can be removed very easily, reducing the height to just 79 mm.
Great size to have in your home for practicing. Works pretty much, the basics, as bigger players like 1000MK2, or even 2000NX2's. Of course less functions but still competent. Many of the traditional button functions like rewind are in the touch menu, makes it a bit more tricky to use. Great tocuhscreen. Of course the jogs are smaller, but they work. I did compare these with buying a XDJ-RX, and I'm happy I did. It looks and feels more like a trad setup you meet in clubs etc, and you can replace bit by bit instead of a whole if you want to upgrade or need to repair. In general descent great stuff. I strongly recommend these in a combination with i.e. DJM450.
The only thing I'm missing:
- The possibility to record to USB, you have to add a computer or a special tool like Evermix one.
- Pitch reset button, but it only comes with 2000's, think Pioneer couold rethink this one in general.
Second cheapest I found the XDJ-700 online and was only £30 more than the cheapest but was the only place online that could deliver before July
