uh-oh the video editor screwed up the color correction lol.
aside that, great job with the review Phil!
Any fault is all ours, lol. We'll try and correct better for the next one :)
Aside from FOMO, I appreciate that it's more of an incremental update than an overall upgrade. I've always thought that the screens on my SC5000s are zoomed in too much, so the view changes on the 6000s is a great implementation - but it's not a deal breaker. I personally don't have a need for a hard drive bay - I update my library regularly, and the system with thumb drives in the older models is fine. Functionality aside, I am a BIG fan of the aesthetic choices. I was interested to hear Phil say the jogs aren't actually larger on the player body, but it makes sense as they're shallower wheels compared to the 5000s. I like the more minimal design approach with the buttons etc, too.
Nice outline/overview - thank you! Looking forward to seeing the full review. I like the less glitzy look, the screens and the job wheels (but still not the greatest neon fan tbh). For me, the most important part of this is the 2nd Generation commitment because hopefully it means this model series is here to stay. Have a great weekend, all.
Agreed!
It’s so interesting that a few years ago, another company changed the way we look at players by eliminating the CD Drive. The XDJ’s were targeted at the bedroom DJ who wanted to practice on a deck similar to what he found in the booth. Now, no one questions at all the fact that these don’t have a mechanical drive! Our tastes and sense of “Normalcy” really evolves over time! Great review :). One omission: The SC6000M has a 8.5 inch wheel vs. the 7 inch on the 5000. DJ’s had really requested that. Glad Denon DJ listened.
Exactly! Thanks Alan
Great overview. They're taking it to another level think I need to get saving!
💰💰💰
These are looking really good. As a long term pioneer user, I really hope that denon become a genuine force to be reckoned with in the industry, as they seem to be making a far greater effort to push the industry forward. Even pioneer fanboys should recognise that competition is beneficial to the consumer.
I really wish they'd allow for full RGB waveforms though, and more importantly a standard green/yellow/red vu meter setup, denon's almost monochromatic meters look nice, but I don't think they do as good a job of quickly relaying information at a glance.
Great points Joe, Denon are doing some awesome work right now
Agreed at least have the bass & kick different colors
Or even better, LCD strips and let you choose your own colors. :-D
If more DJ's go Denon and ask clubs to do the same... who knows. I bring in my own pair but they're heavy in an all-in-one flightcase....over 50kg.
I'm getting a rotary mixer for a second setup at some point and will likely get a pair of these as well - I love my SC5000s!
What rotary mixer are you thinking of Eric?
@@digitaldjtips As of now, a Bozak AR4.
What a great overview this guy does, looking forward to getting these. Having been a dedicated Pioneer CDJ user from the very early days, I changed to Denon 2 years ago and have never regretted it. Loving everything about these decks, and I know nothing is perfect but at least Denon are pushing forward with DJ tech unlike (sadly) Pioneer DJ who seemed to have stalled development over the last few years.
What is it you like most about them, Totally Magic?
@@digitaldjtips Touch screen size and sensitivity, the array of touch pads along the front, the usb sockets under front of unit, I've had several usb sticks broken when I used Pioneer decks as punters learned over to request a track, also a few drunks find it funny to pull out the sticks too! Never understood why all CDJ style decks put the sockets on top in a vulnerable position. I also find the Denon software better than Rekordbox.
Digital DJ Tips is awesome. I bought the V10 on your rec and it has been worth it. Gonna sell my Model 1 mixer. Thanks for the very accurate reviews. Looking into these as well to replace the XDJ1000 players I have.
Glad we helped you Omar
I've always been inclined to go for the alternative when everyone else just sheepishly follows the herd. When everyone played on SL1200's I got myself a pair of solid Vestax turntables there have been turning unscathed ever since. When everyone got an iPhone I got a Sony Ericsson. Soon I'll be getting en EV Kia instead of a Tesla, so these Denon's really the type of Manufacturer I'd buy from. Not that I have a need for them and I will spend my money on other stuff than DJ gear, but these are typically items I'd buy.
Well done my friend! Super sweet gear :-)
Thanks Michael
Denon is killing pioneer atm with the technology
for only 2000 dollars per controller
Its far less.
Great review
thanks Pyers
great stuff!!
Cheers!
I have used controllers and never used media player or cdjs having looked at all the options i decided to get the sc6000 bundle cant wait to get it and buss out some tunes
Awesome! Have fun
They look like so much much fun
They are :)
Can I watch Netflix on it
Well in theory, probably - yes!
Djing while watching Netflix on the players, what time we are living in.
yes but you might scratch them with your laptop
Not sure... who did say in a review that laptop DJs look like they're pretending to be on Facebook while their performing. Maybe Netflix would be an option. ;)
@@Zhenyization They did that on request by David Guetta: it's boring standing there, waving hands while your pre-recorded set is playing on Tomorrowland. At least the poor fella now can avoid boredom.
Good review that phil. Hope denon do a 2 channel prime controller tho. Am not a 4 channel type of guy
It would be an obvious addition to the line...
i like them! specially the split-cue, denon listens!
They really do
Great analogy about the car door.
Thanks!
Can you record straight on to USB like the all in one prime units ? And can you see 2 waveforms together on one deck ?
Amazing! Nice review! Both the mixer and the players have digital inputs / outputs, I'm curious why do you keep using the classical analog RCA cables? Digital should be (slightly) better quality, and cheaper cabling.
It was all a bit of a rush, yes, digital would be even better.
Mate , How can I use the x1850 on serato DJ pro along with my pair of vl12 prime as DVS or Phase DVS?
Thanky DJ Tips..:)
Always welcome
I decided to switch to this setup. Getting the mixer today and one SC6000 tomorrow. I’ve used the “Industry Standard” forever now, I want to try the “forward thinking” for a little while.
Good luck!
I'll keep hoping & dreaming on owning those... lolz
Saaame
Yea me to do love the idea if the hard drive bays tho thats why get excited over them shove the laptop outta way
Me too, it’s very tempting but for the use I have, I cannot justify buying those. 😢
Whats nice tho is you're able to buy these alot easier than the Pioneer decks
Thanks for the video! I noticed something interesting at 12:25 you started playing around with the cue points a bit and I noticed that the bar count nest to the clock seemed like it was counting the bars remaining to the next cue point. Is that true?
Thanks in advance.
AKSO
Not sure! Will take a closer look when we get our "full" review units in.
@@digitaldjtips, can't ask for more. Thanks.
Dj controllers from a discolored distopian future xD
Can't be such a bad future if we have DJ controllers still, right?
Looks great ..Any news on when they will be ready to buy in the UK?
No, I guess they're fighting logistics at the moment with lockdown etc.
Hi Phil, I have the sc5000m's and it is impossable to performe a longish spinback! I've even tryed ajusting the screw on the center pin but if you do this it makes the whole platter unuseable. Is the 6000m better at spinbacks? cheers.
Check out the Crossfader review. Jamie on there shows how it's a lot better in feel.
Question on the X1850 mixer
When attenuating the EQ, does it cut out the signal in the headphones or do you still hear full cue signal?
Basically, is the EQ pre or post cue?
I like to hear the original signal in my headphones while attenuating the EQ when mixing so I can come in on the low, mid, or high
The EQ is pre Cue as far as I can tell :)
Thanks Phil
Sure!
As a Technic and rotary DJ, I've played with Serato + computer aside from vinyl but still used my turntables as the controller. I have to say Denon finally caught my eye unlike Pioneer.
Nice one :)
I like .
What's up with the lighting Phil?
And the 10 inch screen now allows you to see 10 tracks at once instead of 6.....
You can plug these into serato and they will just work......but not at launch
Can you use rekordbox ongoing or is it just a onetime import still?
I think it's just a one-time import.
I wanna see Phil dj
I Love this new Denon gear but would SC6000M and SC6000 partner well mixers lioke Alan & Heath Xone DB4 or Pioneer DJM900 NX2..??
Yes, they'd work well with those, although the X1850 is made for these units.
Does it work for djay for the iPad? Or Mac? Also does it have accessibility for visually impaired DJs? I never hear you talk about people who DJ that are blind? Do they have the settings and functionalities implemented in the software?
No word on that as of now
Great overview. First mention of the jog wheels difference in glide, weightiness that I've seen mentioned. I am curious about compatibility bw the SC5000s and newer mixer? First nature says duh, but more to the point of software wise. Any word on this from Denon? My concern would be that there is some random updated circuitry preventing seemless operation between the older players and new mixer. I'd prefer to purchase the new mixer.
i doubt they would limit themself with that. many own the old players with another companies mixer. they would not want to limit the idea of someone buying the nex mixer while they already own the older players
Denon is dedicated to their Prime ecosystem, so imagine they wouldn't make them incompatible
@@digitaldjtips I agree. It's just that modern tech these days can be finicky, even as much more advanced than it was decades ago. I appreciate your candidness during the live reveal today for the new prime2 and Go regarding Engine Prime. Denon knows too very much via the forums and FB what needs to be done. I just wish it was sooner than later.
The older X1800 mixer has a limiter, so that’s not new. Is it improved?
Also regarding effects and their quantization- when linked via network cable - for Engine Prime and library sharing - wasn’t it quantized at that point? Or did it simply read the BPM from that network connection and adjust the effects to the BPM number, not specifically quantization? It has the effect of quantization if beat grid was set correctly. And since the BPM is totally dependent on the grid - what’s the difference?
I think the platter is also a tad larger. Can you confirm? Thanks.
X1800 was slaved to BPM, but not quantized. The start and stop points of the effect on it are based on your interaction, not the grid. On the X1850, you can optionally turn on quantize to force it to align, though, but the new mixer's firmware is more glitchy and 96khz mode is apparently defective. People are better off with the X1800.
Hello, good review thanks !! Just a question ..can i use 2x denon SC6000M with pioneer V10 mixer?
Yes you can, as long as you're DJing with software of course that works with them.
@@digitaldjtips should i use software in this case? I know they are standalone
Yes!
Indeed!
Question concerning running Rekordbox tracks on the prime players: I imported some Rekordbox-Tracks for testing in Engine Prime. Hot Cue Points were set correctly, Loops were just "transformed" to normal Hot Cue points (they definitely should consider adding loops also as Loops on the same position in the Prime "loop" section additionally to the cue point) BUT: The beatgrid was not taken over from Rekordbox. The tracks where I spent effort in Rekordbox to correct the grid were just analysed by Prime resulting in same (wrong) beatgrid like in Rekordbox analysis ==> Is there no option to tell Engine Prime (or the SC... players) to just take the Rekordbox beatgrid?
thanks for the feedback Rene.
That was a problem I had with the Prime4, you have to reanalyze beatgrids in engine prime and make sure they are set correctly, which is a lot of work.
@@thefunkydeep446 I totally understand. :/ Thanks for the feedback! :) I thought probably I just didn't find the right switch in Engine Prime... Should be actually not too complicated to improve the import in Engine Prime for Rekordbox but after 2 years I'm not sure if that will be done. If a Pioneer user could really plug in the stick in Denon players and it works exactly like in a CDJ this would really improve acceptance of Denon decks in clubs / big stages. Also Pioneer would not be able to change the formats to prevent this as they can not rely on every CDJ has always latest firmware...
@@renel5122 Agreed I would to swap my NSX2 for a 6000m, but I want them to read all the work i've put into setting up my files rekordbox, and they can't do that yet.
How do these compare to a laptop and controller, can you get the same pro feel and feature set with a controller like the pioneer ddj 800 or the denon mc7000 running software on a laptop.
I mean all DJ gear does basically the same thing, so on one hand - yes :) These are in a league of their own innovation-wise, though
Digital DJ Tips the one advantage with them as not needing to use a laptop, but feature wise am I missing out on anything sticking with a laptop and controller compared to a standalone system like this.
from the video the styling looks like the N.I. Machine and S4mk3. does it look like that up close?
Yeah, it does a bit!
I pre-ordered my Prime 4 at release, & I will do the same for these 6000M's🗣 Are you listening American Musical?💳👈🏽
Respect DJ what music do you jam mostly

There should be ONE format for all DJ software for cue point's etc. We need standardization!
True!
It's great to have software driven hardware to build improvements over time. This said, I'm hearing reports about build quality issues, which would negate your ability to keep this equipment useful for a while.
Question is there an improvement on the line faders of the x1850 mixer? Personally did not like them on x1800 felt a bit plactic and loose.
Ramon Valdez I hope so because that was my only criticism on the 1800 model
The biggest changes on the mixer are cosmetic
@@digitaldjtips Do you think Numark will come out with a Ns74? Personally I love ns73 and the built quality to me handsdown the best in the controller game or at least top 2.
Thanks for this, Phil! I love my CDJ 2000NXS2s but I was curious so I ordered a SC5000 just before the new gear was announced. I really like it so far and I guess I'm the only person who likes all the extra lights. I think I'm going to go in on the first generation and ride that out until the 3rd or 4th gen players drop. Still, the second generation shows a lot of promise and I'm glad to see that Denon is still supporting the 1st gen prime players and mixer.
Yeah first gen are still completely relevant and supported.
I love DJ
Oh, sounds like you've tried a mixed environment?!
@@MatthiasEngler I have a little bit of a gear problem :) I did manage to get my hands on the X1800 mixer and so far l like the way the FX work better than the DJM, but I won't know for certain until the other SC5000 shows up on Friday and I can give the system a proper spin, if you will.
Hello good afternoon!
I wanted you to solve a couple of doubts about the denon sc 6000 m, I have a pioneer nexus 2 computer and I would like to try the denon but I do not want to change the software, do the denons recognize rekordbox files? And the other question can be synchronized with a Red cable the cdj and the denon so that they are synchronized as two cdjs.
Thanks and best regards
Yes they do, not sure what you mean by your second question - what "red" cable?
@@digitaldjtips sorry..
Cable link
No, I do not recommend you try this Yes, the Denons can read Rekordbox USBs, but I wouldn't set up a permanent system running both. Pick one or the other.
I think it's funny that biggest complaints about dj gear was it was to big and bulk. So they did away with turntables and vinyl. Now here we are with a kit that's just 4 inches shy of being a turntable. Granted it's very nice looking kit. But so long as there is support for the sc5000 kit. I'll stay there. Everything is getting bigger and heavier again. And motorized platters? Again very nice but if I want to feel a turntable I'll pull out my 1200's cause there is no replacement for them. But I'm happy to see Denon pulling out the stops improve engine prime and let's get this party started.
Funny how it's all cyclical :)
Great review... I want one of these to compliment my Hybrid Vinyl Turntable... a bit too pricey though. Will need to keep checking ebay for the next year or two...lol Most people living on covid cash at the moment.
We hear you, times are tough!
Just get two 5000M from Ebay. Almost the same, just slightly smaller platter and screen, same feature set.
Nice review, can the sc6000 harddrive feature be used with a x1800?
Not sure I'm following you...
@@digitaldjtips Thank you replying, if you have a existing setup with 2x sc5000 and 1 x1800. Can you add to this a single sc6000 and use the new features on the sc5000? Will the sc5000 be able to read the music on the harddrive on the sc6000?
The SC5000 will likely be able to read files on the SC6000 if they're connected via Ethernet Link (have yet to confirm). Most of the new features on the SC6000 are hardware-related (larger jog, bigger screen) :)
Can I just put a usb in the new Denon sx6000 and off I go... or do I download music on these any help
Yep, just plug in a USB and off you go
I like the look of the new gear. Seems like it is "grown up" now. SC5000 has a great quality but I wouldn't have bought it because it looked too much like a toy to me. SC6000 looks very professional now.
Definitely one of the obvious diferences Rene.
I can buy 2 sc5000 for the price of 1 sc6000 an they mostly do the same things just bigger screens! They look beautiful but im not sure if its worth the money right now .
Yeah the price drop of the SC5000's have made them even more tempting for many!
Couldn't agree more. Also, those Sc6000 screens are almost too big for my liking. I mean, 10.1" seriously? That's as big as an iPad! I think 8 - 9" would had been the perfect sweet spot.
Anyway, great move from Denon to keep the still great 5000/M units supported with the same updates. Going to get the SC5000 (or Prime 2) myself!
The hd2500 released in 2006 was the first unit to have a built in hard drive bay. Also the jobs look like numark platters from the tax line. The jobs on the 37/3900 were heavy and smooth just like a 1200 which is what DJs wanted. Having a screen as big as an iPad also means that if it fails it’ll be costly to replace. The old Denon gear was able to linked up with a real iPad for future proofing. It seems like the old Denon tech was not sold to in music if they aren’t using it.
Thanks for adding Scott :)
So can u use virtual dj too with it because it's a software too that lots of dj use.
No word on that
they dont run with virtual dj
Does this only need 1 port to macbook pro? Believe the mixer has cat5 ports
You use the Ethernet ports on the back of the units to plug in the media players to the mixer, then a single USB from the top of the mixer to the computer if you're using software.
I really love how he was struggling to differentiate the 5000 over the 6000 and why you should buy it. Outside of a bigger screen and ssd’s seems Ike a marketing ploy. If you REALLY wanted to make me buy the new prime, you should have included a DAW, touch pad, and VST’s.
I really wouldn't say he struggled. He simply laid out the differences. Not sure what you mean.
Wow, implementing VSTs and a DAW like program into one of these would be incredible. Making beats on the fly. Could def see that in the future.
The new 8 core cpu is a big step up from the dual core in the 5000. So a DJ turning up with a rekordbox library can plug in and import his 1000 tracks in just a few seconds rather than 5mins.
DJ_PaulTUK 8 core and still no daw ... shame. 🤷🏻♂️
Hi
Brilliant review. One question on the new mixer. Are the 4 channels tighter to move up and down compared to the older mixer? The 1800 they are very loose and if the 1850 are a lot tighter in feel with more resistance it would sway onto buying this newer version thanks
Yes, they are.
Dam, feels like just yesterday I got my 5000s lol. Hope denon do some kind of trade in deal from the 5000s to 6000s as it seems cost wise their more or less exactly the same, at least for now. For new customers buying denon prime gear they'll of course buy the 6000s over the 5000s, I'm pretty much certain of this. Resale value for those of us wanting to upgrade and sell the 5000s 2nd hand however has definitely been shot down so I hope Denon can do something like this, especially given we've been waiting for software upgrades in stages and now we are being told that if we want better we will need to buy new. Same goes for the mixer, although looks more of an aesthetic upgrade, but same cost wise to the x1800.
I know my return window for my Christmas SC5000M ended last week. So Mad at myself lol
I only got one so it will get a fat big brother.
@@Voicewav Nice!:) know what you mean though, would have been awesome to get two rather than just the 1
Depreciation is savage on all things digital. (phones, laptops...) Keep using the gear you have as long as it works just fine!
@@carloslaend1635 Definitely! Just never nice when gear that was forecasted to last long into the future gets replaced when all users wanted was a few bugs to be fixed on the current setup. Rather than doing that we now have to spend our hard earned cash on new gear which supposedly fixes a lot of those problems, which is a bit of a bummer
when is the release date for the X1850 mixer?
Appears to be available from April (in the UK at least)
I have the denon mc 4000. I keep getting a ASIO message. I have no sound. Does anyone know the steps to correct this problem?
Denon should hopefully have the answer, have you tried posting on their forum? Might be quicker than opening a ticket
Heloo, is it possible to link boath denon sc6000 and record the set?
What do you mean exactly Sany?
@@digitaldjtips ou snap i wanted to ask can you record the set directly from the mixer, but i guess ill need aditional device for that :(
Yes :)
Great video but why so grey?
Phils auditioning for Zack Snyders 300 sequel
DJ Dash TV quite a Sin City look tho
@@doctormasterdevil Hah!
Whats the track ? Please
A design I don’t understand is why have the hard drive under the player ? Means having to pick up the player just to get your hard drive back out. Not the best for swapping over
This is more for personal use or if you're a club chain or owner and have a stock library of records that you want played throughout your clubs.
It’s for an internal HD, like the main drive in your laptop or PC. You can plug an external one into one of the USB ports for temporary use.
I can't seem to make out if the Cue and Play buttons are rubber or plastic?
Hard plastic
@@digitaldjtips awesome! :)
What about music analyzed by virtual DJ?
No word on that.

i want to get 2 of the denon dj sc6000 for my prime 4
Would be a great setup :)
I'm a beginning DJ and for me it's all about the emotions that the music brings so scratching in't really my thing yet. However, if I'm going to be performing one day (a really big if) I want garishness! I want gaudy! I love tacky! I want the players and the mixers covered with gold and blue glitter, enormous led's, flashy jog wheels, strobing led's under the player, light-up knobs on the mixer and ridiculous amounts of pointless flashiness!!
Not sure if you're being serious or not! And it's fine by us either way :D
Wooww!
Is there a full review?
No there isn't yet Sherwin
@@digitaldjtips Still waiting :)
From serato to to controller face.
Denon please go back with Denon 3900 Platter, i wish an updete maybe SC6000 Mk2 bring us that 9" platter with the old style like SL1200, like SC3900 did and make all of us, fell in love. A SC6000 with that platter it really would be great and make a better product. I watch i video that one Pioneer lover made with a the cdj3000 version he would like he made the CDJ with SC3900 platter but thta company do not dare to do it
You know how to,
I know what you said with the new style of platter , but i have always had SL1200 and SC 3900 and never i ´ve had that problem you say and Never i´ve heard somebody saying that for sure,
I was thinking in buying SC6000M and replace the platter for the ones i have SC 3900 , but maybe no fit
SC 3900 is 9" and SC6000M 8.5" , So better you realese a new version of your M deck Dj´s that come from old school and many of new dj would love it. Give us that christmas gift or next Namm Show surprise !
You'd be better off posting this kind of feedback on the Denon forum Carlos, they watch it closely (though they do also check out our comments section as well)
Copy that, thanks !
Please update your camera also
Bad video import :)
They look neat but that price for one?! Damn!!!!!
😅
Definately more polished looked. Better improvement.
Looking good!
Why this strange Colors in the video?
Going for the Sin City look. ;)
And Virtual DJ...
I've never closed an expensive car door lol
Lol :)
Me neither. My butler does though.
Hello . I am start. I have 2 sc6000 and one x-1850 i try conect cables but only sond in one deck i look the manual but not work. Can you make a video for conect 2 sc600 in one x1850 ? I dont know how can i put sound in another sc 6000.
It’s almost like this and the DJCITY video are following the same script
Great minds...
@@digitaldjtips illuminati confirmed
They have to build the computer in to the player, cuz they can’t make useable software for computers xd
But, seriously it’s not a big change, just a different approach of the workflow, digital players. Let’s be honest, we don’t need an ipad on top of the player. We don’t want to watch M. Night Shyamalan movies on them. I prefer the old workflow, you collect music, sort them on your computer, set cue points, save loops, make playlists, and so on. This way you really can take your time with the music, plan the transitions, and when you play live, you can concentrate on the effects, the crowd, enjoy the music, cuz it’s not that interesting to watch somebody staring at a big screen, and trying to find that cue point or the right length loop. And i think we want the freedom to “play” and enjoy the music, dance, look at the crowd, not the players all the time. Let’s be honest, you have roughly 3 min when a track is playing, in that 3 mins, you won’t change the world 🤷♂️, or just won’t make the best choices, so take your time at home, and have fun in the club 🙌
Thanks for your input Bence :)
damn thats sexy!
Yep!
Switched to Denon SC Series after long using the CDJ's. Afraid at first. Never looked back though. These are truly next gen. players. The only argument Pio boys use is "it's the club standard". Well guys, once, a Lenco L75s turntable was the club standard. Things change. Move forward or backward. Your choice. Pio is done. Obsolete and overpriced.
Strong words, we do love the Prime stuff though!
Devaluation of purchase items , once these broken everything is broken. Unlike your monitor is separate from the controller.
They're solid so will last a while and modular gear makes it easier to replace when broken
Dunno what gibberish nonsense you are talking about. These units are rock-solid beasts. Go and troll elsewhere.
Very not too expensive 5k not I’m my budget
Love the players, still not a fan of the mixer
Thanks for watching!
The new players will find it hard t o fit in a coffin. The SC5000 that I have only just fitted in an odysee coffin used for Pioneer CDJ's.
I had to get a larger coffin to fit the original Prime gear - specifically with the mixer, the added length doesn't allow you to fit cables around the back as it pushes against the wall of the case. According to the dimensions of on Denon's website, the players aren't THAT much bigger - I think the biggest difference is in the height provided by the larger screens.
Ah pre Covid a world where everything was black and white. Simple times..
Denon has a way of kicking it's customer in the balls. They just came out with the SC5000M last year and now all those people who bought those are probably pissed off. I see no real improvement worth spending $4500. By December they'll be $999 each.
Possibly - It's hard to win sometimes, spend years developing something new and you get accused of disappearing and the opposite end of the spectrum is something new every year but you get accused of only being interested in money and flooding the market. We recommend nobody puts that much stock into the gear and tries to be happy with what they've got (which is more than enough the majority of the time)
they made them too big they look like boats i.ll stick with the sc5000s
Yeah they're not small!
@@digitaldjtips thank you for another great video im a big fan! .Um im having a big problem on deciding what to use for a turntable replacement my choice is either the sc5000 sc 6000 :( or the rane 12 mk2 .do you have ne advice? btw I notice that roll lags on the sc5000 is that issue the same on the sc6000 or did they address it with the improved cpu?
Our advice (if possible) is to try them in person, will make it much easier to make a decision
@@digitaldjtips thx for your quick reply but I have to special order and it will take at least 4 days due to co-vid what do you personally like out of the lot and what have you heard the majority of djs say ?
I prefer the latest models.
Pioneer are getting left behind here.
Hopefully something new soon!
Pioneer is doomed......
You never know what they've got up their sleeves!
@@digitaldjtips So is the "CD"J-3000 a match ?
Good concept for a review but horribly delivered!!!
One off issue with the lighting - we'd rather get the info to our audience as quick as possible than worry about perfection
Bit harsh!
