A complete DJ set consists of three pieces: a player (or an all-in-one console that replaces both), a mixer, and optionally, monitoring headphones. Those starting with a limited budget usually opt for a controller — a player and a mixer in one device, connected to a laptop. Those seeking a professional solution, without a laptop, choose an all-in-one console or classic turntables with a separate mixer. For production and live sets, we also offer samplers and grooveboxes, separate from the classic mixing setup.
For a first step, the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 is the best-selling controller in the portfolio, compatible with industry-standard software. For a laptop-free solution, the Pioneer DJ XDJ-RR is a complete all-in-one console with direct playback from USB.
We have complete DJ equipment — players, mixers, controllers, consoles, samplers, and accessories — from Pioneer DJ, AlphaTheta, Native Instruments, Numark, and Roland. Our guide “How to Start as a DJ” extensively compares the three possible paths for beginners.
