Round the back it’s all pretty simple: Two laptop USB sockets, two mics (XLR/TRS combo and TRS), four external RCA-ins (two with phono, plus a ground loop), two master outs (balanced XLR / unbalanced RCA) and a booth out (balanced TRS). Note the dual USB inputs for two laptop (Click to enlarge.) The six Color FX knobs, on the other hand, are big, chunky and pleasing to use (just as well one of the “Color FX is filters = you’ll probably end up using these a lot…). The only love/hate thing really for some will be the hard plastic buttons familiar to Pioneer users, but to newcomers they may feel a bit cheap.
#SZS DONT FORGET TO LAUGH 7 YEARS FROM NOW PRO#
That’s not to say it feels cheaply made: With individually metal top-plated “units” (two identical players and the mixer), a plethora of Pioneer’s best knobs, faders and back-lit RGB pads / multicoloured buttons, and two full-sized jogwheels that feature the familiar Pioneer circular LEDs in the centre (to show things like platter position, time to next cue point and so on), it feels like what it is: A 100% pro digital DJ controller. Like a lot of pro Pioneer gear, the DDJ-SZ doesn’t shy away from being predominantly plastic in construction (all the company’s CDJs are this way, although Pioneer’s mixer range has remained metal-cased). In truth, a controller doesn’t have to be anywhere near this big for the amount of “stuff” that goes inside it. If you come from the school of thought that says one of the advantages of digital DJ controllers is that they have allowed digital DJs to get away from cumbersome, “full-sized” gear, this isn’t going to be for you! One thing, though, is that it isn’t as heavy as you may imagine (certainly nowhere near as heavy as the Numark NS7II, with its “real” turntables) the DDJ-SZ actually feels pretty hollow, which is because it basically is. No throwing this baby into a backpack for a quick bus journey. Basically, that’s it: You’ve got the DDJ-SZ right there, size-wise. You push them together on the table in a row. Imagine you got a full-sized Pioneer club DJ set-up in front of you. But is it all a bit too much? And is it worth the price?
