AlphaTheta Omnis Duo Review - Sleek All-In-One With A Trick Up Its Sleeve!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2024
  • The AlphaTheta Omnis Duo is a battery-powered compact all-in-one DJ system in the Rekordbox ecosystem, slightly larger than its only obvious competitor, the Denon DJ Prime Go. It does the basics very well, has a neat Bluetooth trick up its sleeve and is undeniably desirable, but no access to streaming services and no key shifting option take the shine off it at launch a little - things that’ll hopefully be added down the line. As a neat “lifestyle” all-in-one unit, and as second system for mobile DJs, it will likely do well.

    The Numark Mixstream Pro Go seems better and for half the price.
    $1500 is a hard sell for a compact unit. Nonetheless thanks Phil for the review , as always, very informative

    Nice to see innovations coming in from Alpha Theta. The Bluetooth input, usb-c charger and looks are welcome! As for the rest I think the 4 year old Denon Prime Go does mostly better. You'd think Alpha Theta would be able to do better than play catch up after 4 years and for +500 euro.

      I dare say the technical superiority of the Prime Go, although significant- will be outshone simply by the layout not feeling totally alien here. If you won't compromise on having technicals at hand, you probably won't settle for any gear in this implicitly compromise-making market spot in the first place. As for me, i got me a gig playing music at the food court KFC so this is the ideal system. Come down and see me Oracle, we can play Wingless B2B Boneless. @@digitaldjtips

Now, the Omnis… dissappointing… I loved the denon vs pioneer match… Now the match is unexisting… denon doesn’t even have to show to the match, It can send its little brother Numark to kick the sh. Out of Pioneer (ir whatever’s left of it) and win on the first round. I hope Alpha Theta makes ir exciting again in the near future.

    If ever I have any concerns over a unit or unanswered questions, I always get the answers from your videos. I've got the OG numark Mixstream and I'm more than happy with it, and even 3 years later they're still updating it and making it more useful and current. It's a good starting point and a great launch product for their "new" brand (yes I know it's not a new brand per-say, but to most of us it is). It's worrying though in a way, because their previous controllers have been carbon copies of studio and club standards, and people get used to using them. This is like nothing else on the market. Even the DDJ 200 and DDJ 400 are similar in layout to other pioneer gear.

    • @digitaldjtips

    I'd have to try it, but maybe too big a move from physical controls to touchscreen. I've got used to using the pads for "stems", so that could be quite a loss. Thanks for the review.

    You really hit all the points I needed to hear! Super review! Key shift feature is such an integral part of how I DJ since getting on the engine OS with my Mixstream and i am always surprised how it is often overlooked and a missing feature in 2024. I do miss 8 pads, color effects and beatjump on the MIxstream. With those features it would be perfect for me.

      Yeah i feel like my flx4 does more, and I hate the tempo faders on that. These look the same size? BTW, if your doing key changes check out software called Rip X Daw to do so beforehand... million times better quality than doing it live plus stems are very high quality if you wanted to do that with some tracks also. I used to do key changes all the time on my old ddj 1000 but now prefer to do it beforehand as high quality as I can with Ripx daw

    Twice the price of a Mixstream Go with less features and an extra monthly subscription.. come on Pioneer. Give use something disruptive like the DDJ-1000 again. The only reason would be the existing rekordbox support which is using a different file format as well.. At this price point it’s very hard to consider.

    Nice review Phil. At first glance it looks like they took the design of DDJ-400/FLX4 and made it standalone, which I quite like for it's simplicity. But that price point is a hard sell when Mixstream Pro Go and DJ Prime Go sits easily under that. It's also close to the cost of a XDJ-RX3, which packs quite more features, but less portable.

While keeping it simple, it still lacks the versatility that the Denon Prime GO offers out of the box.
