![]() Pioneer DJ OPUS QUAD features a neat 10.1-inch touchscreen on board, which is finally a proper and fully featured multi-touch capacitive display, akin to the ones present on all modern smartphones. The 10.1-inch touch screen display + 2 bonus screens One of the main selling points of the Pioneer OPUS-QUAD is its main updated 10.1 inch touch display. This is quite a nice breakthrough for Pioneer DJ, and in a sense, after comparing the feature sets of the two devices you could in a sense deem the OPUS QUAD a successor to the XDJ-XZ’s legacy. The Pioneer DJ OPUS-QUAD lets you utilize all 4 of its mixer channels for loading and playing tracks live, unlike the XZ. If you didn’t know, the predecessor of the OPUS QUAD – the Pioneer XDJ-XZ, while it featured 4 mixer channels on board, allowed you to use only two of them for loading up tracks while used in the standalone mode. Well, we’re happy to announce that now we have the very first standalone all-in-one DJ controller from Pioneer DJ that allows the user to utilize all of the 4 mixer channels while not connected to a laptop or a PC. With that said, let’s get into the nitty-gritty details, shall we? Standalone capabilities – Worthy XDJ-XZ replacement? The DJ OPUS-QUAD is sleek, looks fresh, and with its rather minimalistic approach to the front panel layout it still vaguely resembles an actual Pioneer CDJ x DJM club setup, which is the main point of a modern all in one DJ setup. Other than that, the shape of the device is pretty unique too, as it’s not entirely rectangular as all the previous Pioneer DJ controller have been, with its two wing-like deck sections which are slightly curved.īut in the end, the design changes with the almost completely new look and feel of the device are overall pretty interesting at the first glance. ![]() I personally am not that keen on these color choices which stray further from my rough and straight to the point older Pioneer DJ gear aesthetics. The OPUS QUAD all-in-one DJ system as a whole makes use of a deep dark grey matte-like finish with beige accents on its sides which is quite an interesting design choice all in all. The overall design of the device, combined with the naming convention change however, both suggest that Pioneer DJ simply wants to follow the road of upgrading all of their equipment lines to further match the styling and methodology of the new and currently trending FLX line of devices (which started with testing the waters with the Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 way back in November 2020). After first hearing about the Pioneer DJ OPUS-QUAD’s release, I really hoped it would be more like the now dated Pioneer XDJ-XZ, which it’s clearly aiming to replace. I’ll be perfectly honest right from the beginning. ![]() The design and layout changes The new OPUS-QUAD looks way different from the previous DJ controllers released by Pioneer DJ – but what really changed?
