First Look: Denon DJ PRIME GO | Tips and Tricks 

Big thumbs up for Denon from a Rekordbox User!!! Hey Pioneer! Geht off your high horse and wake up!!

Denon are in Ultra Instinct mode, unpredictable moves!

Pioneer - “We dominate the DJ market” Denon - “hold my beer”

So happy to see Pro DJing controllers in a compact form factor. I hope the industry will follow on this trend.

To me it looks perfect for ceremony set ups for us wedding DJs.

It’s so cute seeing all the DJ tech journalists on this trip together and the shared excitement they have over this.

A dream come true for everyone who doesn‘t want to prepare everything on a laptop for their sc5000s :))

I actually sold my XDJ mk2s and mixer when I started hearing the reviews of this. I had been waiting for pioneer to come out with a smaller standalone option but with the constant praise this unit has been getting I had to reserve one. Can't wait for mine to come in.

Denon listens.. Liking their products..

Denon just dropped a huge bomb with this controller! I’m excited! Currently using a Roland DJ 505 but I am justifying getting this as a back or for quick studio sets. Any other DJs getting this?

My wireless outdoor rig dream come true Prime go here I come!!!

Nice to see Numark still on the ball. Few will understand what a said.

Yow mojaxx you should do a meet and greet down here in south florida!!!!

I'd love one of these! Unfortunately I wouldn't want to be limited to something this small as my primary, and £900 is a lot of money to spend on a setup that i would be using almost exclusively for impromptu minirig parties. Still, looks like a great bit of kit to have in your arsenal, if your pockets are deep enough.

Got mine today and love it! The LED for Mic 2 is continuously flashing though. Any idea why?

Dope review! You wouldn't happen to know what the wireless XLRs at 3.27 are?

Wow! Incredible!!!!

Can you link two of this together for super cool back to back mixing session with your peers???

Hello , nice stuff, please someone could tell me what is the wireless device plugged in the master output to send the sound to the speakers. Thanks

Can u hook up 2 portable decks to this and use the mixer? Numark pt01?

Denon DJ PRIME GO it can do continuos play list? thank sir Dj City

In the pool shot, what’s that wireless hub plugged into the XLR inputs?

Denon is not messing around!

I can see this and the Prime 2 cleaning up in the mobile DJ market.

This reminds me a lot of the Stanton SCS 4DJ from back in the day

USB-midi clock synk to external devices?

Something like this but 3 channel, with touch strips instead of wheels would be sick. I want a controller that's stand alone/screen, metal shell, touch strips, but with no faders, an only rotary controller. Like the same spirit of the rotary mixers but a controller.

What do you think about not being able to get to the beginning of a track using shift-cue though?

Does it take playlists from traktor dj I have all my cue points and loops on all my TraktorDJ software can you import those playlists

Niceeee, hope Pioneer will come up with something comparable

Can you record your sets with the prime?

does it have internal ssd storage?

Looks Staunch🔥

I got loads of music on my iPad files , lots of old skool jungle that isn’t on any streaming apps etc , can I plug my iPad in and download the tracks on to this? I don’t have a computer so no usb . Cheers

i see it as a little digital music player. i do gigs in bars with vinyl and this could plug into mixer and have access to digital music formats without taking dvs and laptop. does it play FLAC? takes up same space as laptop on a stand

Ayyyy Phil Morse at the controls. DJ tech friends.

What a surprise! I wouldn't say this is overpriced. This has a powerful CPU and you are paying for the smallest stand alone DJ set up we've seen - very cool

can you link 2 togheter!

Hello! Can you record your set with this thing? Like, for example, doing a set on a plane.

Can't decide between this and Traktor s4 mk3.

I don’t like the EQs on that position 😩I don’t like that super small jogs either, But I like the big screen, the size and the stand alone capability

How many of you old school CD jocks look at this and remind yourself of the old DJ CD double disk player Denon D-4500? It sure does look like that to me!

When you were at the pool mixing I see 2 XLR wireless inputs onto the GO. Could you give me a name or link for those please :)

Are instant doubles possible? If not double tap or hold load buttons in future firmware update?

How much is it?

Hi! What was the wireless thing connected to the XLR output of the controller? Looks like it was wirelessly connected to a speaker. Thank you

bravo Denon for innovating in a market that's severely iterative and overpriced. while not a "cheap" device, it packs a punch of features for the price and form factor

Why were you in Fort Lauderdale? I live close by. What did I miss again?

STILL!

🙄 This controller support a 500 Gigs USB? Because sometimes The old mixers o controllers Just keep loading, but never work, thanks....

The Prime Go sequel will be slightly larger. But this is ideal for the DJ who doesn't want to carry the laptop

I think imma stick with Denon.....was looking at Pioneer😏

Can you install a hard drive like prime 2 and 4 ??

This is so cool. I definitely want one. But I also don't absolutely need one. I think it's priced adequately, but it'd just be used as a toy for me. Hard to justify the buy

If it had inputs for turntables and Cdjs I would be more inclined to get it

was that Joris Voorn?

Its cute

@ 3:42 is that Phil?

Add a 3rd screen option with vertical wavelengths right next to each other

All this talk about what it doesn't have. The fact is Denon created this. Not Pioneer. The supposed to be the industry standard. Denon will go down in history for having the 1st battery powered, 7 inch touchscreen, true stand alone (no laptop required), wi-fi track streaming capable, professional DJ controller. Pioneer the company; drives the decisions it makes. Denon the company; technology & customers drives the decisions it makes.

OK great, the controller is rechargeable… What about speakers? Where are we going to get adequate battery powered speakers from? Because the unit as in of itself is useless without

Denon is to Pioneer what AMD is to Intel now.

Noticing the Play buttons don't flash at the same time... Just an autistic side of mine 🤪 Dope setup tho

Still looks like a toy to me. Albeit a fun portable one

This is perfect for me! But I wonder if you would look like a fool with such a small gear at a club. Don't get me wrong, i'm not ashamed to play with anything as I played with everything from turntables to digital gear.... but I wonder how people will welcome that in a club and if people would take you seriously.

Still, no sample bank features in Engine software. Why have Denon still totally ignored such a feature in all this new gear being released this year? rekordbox / serato / traktor all have sample bank features.

Camping, beaches, city parks, power outage after storm doing reception......all covered. Its overpriced but that's what 1st always gives you.

I need this so bad but for pioneer. Rekordbox DJ and the beginner level controllers dont cut it for me, and the xdj rr is too big

Cool device with a high "wanna have" factor but let's face it, it's just too expensive: 1. Certainly out of price range for beginner DJ's; 2. Very expensive as a back-up only device; 3. When traveling, you're typically better off with a compact non-stand-alone controller plus laptop/iPad as the latter can be used for consumption or production as well; 4. As a small venue controller, the also rather mobile Prime 2 is just a way more sensible option because of its superior layout and jog wheels. At this price point, it will end up more as an expensive gadget than a serious workhorse tool I'm afraid.

Can someone wake up Pioneer please

He says it like 1k is cheap lol

Sheesh that thing is ugly and horrible jogs yeah, nah, way too basic feature wise, a sample section is almost a must have and it hasn't, expensive and an 4 hour battery is weak unless your running kids parties! I would actually prefer an non battery option. Get a 2nd hand 2015 Macbook pro and a midrange controller and you will still have change in your pocket, quite a bit of it. I like the idea though. A single unit (with a quality soundcard) and a pair of powered speakers is an ongoing step forward for mobile but it looks like Denon have done it in baby shoes this time round and slapped the babies face instead of its backside! Preparing sets on a £1000 machine??? You can do that on Serato play for £40!

Denon isnt playing around.....bu bye pioneer

IMHO looks pretty ugly. Especially EQ and jogs. Stand alone systems is totally overrated
