Just get rid of my DDJ SR in July. I was waiting patiently for the DDJ SR2 to drop, but one thing they should have added is the time LED light needle indicator.
TY PIONEER-IM GLAD U STEPPED UP THE CONTROLLER SERIES WITH THIS-THE JOG WHEELS ARE WHAT I BEEN WAITING FOR BECAUSE ROLAND IS REALLY ON YOUR ASS.YOU HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN YOU WHEN IT COMES TO PORTABLE CONTROLLERS .SALUTE.
So I just got this controller I have to confirm that the sound card sounds very nice as for the small pitch faders it's really not an issue the pitch is very accurate and feels great. My dislike is that the cross fader cut cannot be tweaked from the Pioneer utility (like the S9) it can however be tweaked through the SDJ software audio settings (like the SB2) with the xfade setting on full the cut is very sharp. Overall solid controller.
I LOVE my SR2 man. Str8 Up I’m a Screw DJ PROFESSIONALLY and it’s fuckin amazing for professionals. MY ONLY ONLY thing I wish it had, is the LEDs like the SX2 or SZ2 on the Jog Wheels
Aditya Rajpal yes, but you can save your money and buy the previous one. ddj-sr 1 is pretty much the same controller but without dvs support and rgb pads, Also pitch'n time is not included with ddj-sr1
Is the mic jack in balanced? And has it got the improved input (the SR1 input was super weak, and I haven't even bothered trying the SB2 one). Now the SR(2) is almost as much as a proper 4-channel SX2 I would hope so!
I am a big fan of Numark, but I don't see a point for them producing ns6 II. There are some obvious reasons to make a NV Mk3 with dvs support and dual screens but ns6 II is really something from the past
DJ Angel Ortiz Totally agree. Design flaw but that's how they get us we have to upgrade to a 4 channel just to get led indicator jogwheels. What about adding it for the 2 channel though🤷🏼♂️
It's official I just preordered it. Got a great deal $100 off. Even though it doesn't have LED ring for cue indicator I'm not too worried I learned on real vinyl anyways.
Love this product currently i own a sx2 which has never let me down, but always short of space for my turntables and only ever use two channels so this may be a good solution. I would be interested to know how it sounds . If the sound is on a par with the sx2 then this is on top of the christmas list. Nice move Pioneer
Great Controller... I just wanted more channels. I just order the SX2 today; upgrading from the SB2..(can't wait until it arrives)... I hated the fact that I couldn't use it as a stand alone mixer. That just created more equipment that I have to haul around. But I think the SR2 is great for those who want something compact and have over 75% of the functions that the more expensive controllers have. It does have a clean & professional look. The lack or LED indicators on the jog wheels to let you know where you are in the track, is kind of a deal breaker in my opinion. But if you are on a budget starting out, that shouldn't be a big deal. I have had a lot of beginner controllers, all from Pioneer. I have out grown them, so now its time to step into the big leagues......
Hi Pioneer DJ, Really nice controller! Me and a lot of other people want to know of you guys are going to make a XDJ-RX2 anytime soon. I'm thinking about buying the RX, but I want to make sure I won't buy it just to find out there's a new version coming out soon. Thanks!
Handy Skratch unfortunately the Mixars Primo has no release date yet. They keep back tracking and have no ETA on the date believe me I've contacted 3 DJ stores already. Shitty
Had the SR sold it to get the SX2 last month. I have 45 days to return the sx2 and now I see this sr2 perfect 2 channel controller but.... the missing led indicators on the jogs is what will make me stick with the SX2
Would be nice if the third itteration of this thing had visual feedback on the jogwheels. Most definately not going to buy the huge sx2 or sx3 just because of that. Too big and I dont really need 4 chanels... would be nice to see this feature on the smaller controller.
great i just got the denon mc4000 two weeks ago because i thought pioneer would never make another serato controller let alone a 2 channel version of the SX line with XLR. depending on price i still may get it and sell my SX1
Actually it indeed looks like LED rings are in the middle hoping maybe a firmware update will illuminate them...is kind of a deal breaker would like to see where I'm at on the jogwheels for juggling.
are u guys planning on releasing the ddj sz3 somehow near in the future? i was thinking of getting the sz2 and i dont want to kill myself afterwards if this happens :)
Why does the censor button blink whenever I use DVS or with any record movement? Happens on both decks. Noticed it's in the demo vid as well. This a bug🤔
Hi there. Is it possible you record a quick video to make us understand the issue better? You can tag us on Facebook or Twitter @pioneerdjglobal, and we will help out.
Hi there, sorry for the delay on the reply. With DVS, Serato DJ light up the CENSOR LED while the turntable moves reverse direction. This means the CENSOR LED will blink while scratching.
I used the ddjSr 1 for couple years then I buy ddj SX1 then ddjsx2 then mcx8000 Denon then pioneer s9 for my turntables and finally ddsz2. I decide to sell ddjSr and ddj SX1 & ddj sx2 I still missing my ddjSr very strong controller compact fit every were very solid controller for sure I will get this ddJ sr2 ....!!!!!! Now this have xlr outputs plus I can connect turntables or CD players the old ddjSr only come with 1 aux output the only issue I notice in this one is you need to connect to the electricity AC what I love from the old version ddjSr was just USB cable and you ready to go ....
Daniel Carthen i understand you point but this is portable mixer...!!! For me is better without power ac cable if you have it on case not big deal but if you don't used case can be complicate if you have to connect you laptop plus de mixer also I never see any difference between my controller ddjsr1 and my other big brother ddsz2 both same quality for me and I always used at clubs is just my opinion..! Pioneer know how to build dj equipament
With the XLR outs and stand alone mixer feature they had to add the xtra power. This will sound so much better now. Brands don't impress me. Only features. I have a DDJ SZ, Numark NS7ii, Numark Mixtrack Platinum and DDJ SX2.
Daniel Carthen for me pioneer is the best Dj manufacture but is my opinion just my opinion i respect you opinion I been using pioneer for several years never single problem maybe that is the reason for my opinion about pioneer....!!!
I hear ya. I've had Vestax, Various Numarks and all kinds of other gear. Dont be afraid to try something new! You might be surprised. I just had to learn how to fix the fader on my DDJ SZ. Ugh. Such a pain but easy now that I know how.
This is of course cool and all, but will this unit freeze up like the SR does when the key lock function is activated? That's the reason I sold mine, I felt ripped off by Pioneer.
Semian Schűch yeah I'm not positive it would just be convenient to play on one turntable and the other deck like a reg deck. I thought the DVS addon is one or the other you can't split it.
If you mean using an external turntable, the DDJ-SR2 has a switch on the mixer to phono but as this is only a 2 channel mixer, you can only go from using channel one on the sr2 and channel 2 on the external turntable.
Jaydee Joy fingers crossed as I am looking to get a new controller but want to try Rekordbox Dj as always used Traktor and an S4 but would still be concerned at those short pitch faders...ddj rx is also tempting.
i used traktor pro n serato dj with numark mixtrack pro 2 and 3 a few year. now i m on rekordbox dj with ddj RB its my idea rekordbox better than others dj software. i think ddj rr2 coming soon with key snyc cos. rokordbox 5 will have key sync .
Let's be patient 🙂 These are our latest rekordbox-compatible products: www.pioneerdj.com/en-gb/product/mixer/djm-750mk2/black/overview/ www.pioneerdj.com/en-gb/product/mixer/djm-250mk2/black/overview/
I LOVE YOU PIONEER!! YOU ARE THE NUMBER 1 DJ COMPANY!!!
Thanks for the support, Ron!
aw :( I expected an answer like: "Yes we know ;)" XD
What happend to the cross fader curve on the front?
cool....so where it is the "*Booth volumen button*" located.? how do you control the volumen usin the BOOTH.????
REPLY
Denon ;-)
I've been waiting on this controller for over 2 years!!!! Damn Pioneer
It's finally here! You can check stock and pre-order options in your nearest authorised stores so you don't miss it!: www.pioneerdj.com/en/shops/
I just ordered mine had the 1st DDJ SR since day one cleaning it up and about to sell it right now, They made an awesome unit even better. XLR omg
When is this thing dropping I just sold mine and forgot I have an event on Saturday?
I think that DVS bit will be the biggest selling point for this controller. The level meter is also a nice touch.
Dru TheDJ The NS6ii and Roland DJ 505 all have DVS as well. The Mixars Primo will too except no idea when that will ever arrive according to Mixars...
Yeah, saw that on the NS6II. I think all 'professional' controllers going forward will have to adapt to that or get left behind.
Just get rid of my DDJ SR in July. I was waiting patiently for the DDJ SR2 to drop, but one thing they should have added is the time LED light needle indicator.
we already want xdj rx2
JulioSuarezDJ OFICIAL w/ 4 channels
Damn,,,,, just bought my SR in June!!!!
Jay Mistry same dude it sucks
+Jay Mistry me a year ago. The 12th Septiember
Jay Mistry
This is the perfect controller for mobile gigs I can get in and get out and there's nothing you cannot do on this
TY PIONEER-IM GLAD U STEPPED UP THE CONTROLLER SERIES WITH THIS-THE JOG WHEELS ARE WHAT I BEEN WAITING FOR BECAUSE ROLAND IS REALLY ON YOUR ASS.YOU HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN YOU WHEN IT COMES TO PORTABLE CONTROLLERS .SALUTE.
FINALLY PHONO INPUTS THANK YOU !!!!!!
Loving It Already. Still Rock My DDJ-SR & SX
Its like the SX and the SB had a baby
yes they bought back Serato!!
never left Serato been killin it for years . ain't nuffin changed.... { yeah i said nuffin}
so dope! was so ready to buy a sr but now I'm getting this!
DJ Rueed I bought an SR a week ago. Lucky for me I didn't open the box so I was able to return it and no re stocking fee
Christian Tapia dope! I was going to buy one too
BTW everyone it is still USB powered AC it's probably when using it as a standalone alone. According to Pioneer DJ page. Pause on 2:38
Im in love with this now i want it😍😍😍
I just got mine and I fucking love it.
When he recorded the scratch sample & f'd w it & the pitch fx at the end!!!
So I just got this controller I have to confirm that the sound card sounds very nice as for the small pitch faders it's really not an issue the pitch is very accurate and feels great. My dislike is that the cross fader cut cannot be tweaked from the Pioneer utility (like the S9) it can however be tweaked through the SDJ software audio settings (like the SB2) with the xfade setting on full the cut is very sharp. Overall solid controller.
Looks like a very promising controller, congrats pinoneer!
Why so much hate, this is like a dream come true! I'm gonna love this
Hasitha Fredrick l had mine for 2 weeks absolutely love it
I LOVE my SR2 man. Str8 Up
I’m a Screw DJ PROFESSIONALLY and it’s fuckin amazing for professionals. MY ONLY ONLY thing I wish it had, is the LEDs like the SX2 or SZ2 on the Jog Wheels
WOW.. NO PIDO MAS LA INDESICION SE ME ACLARO CON ESTA MAQUINOTAAA... QUE BUEN REGALO DE CUMPLEAÑOS. 09.09.2017
Thought The Day Would Never Come
Been anxiously waiting for this! Thanks Pioneer! Can we expect a DDJ SX3 in the future?
Adrian Cepeda they listened to your and like many people’s request :)
I like the roll feature- I copped.
Juste un jouet de consommation !
i cant be the only one who thinks the pitch faders are still not long enough
bsfdk2 I do agree but I must say it wasn't really a problem for me on the original SR.
DjTecniq it wasn't a problem for me even on the ddj-sb, I don't know why so many djs complain about pitch faders
Is this good for beginner DJS?
Aditya Rajpal yes, but you can save your money and buy the previous one. ddj-sr 1 is pretty much the same controller but without dvs support and rgb pads, Also pitch'n time is not included with ddj-sr1
Evil Red what about the sb2 for someone like me who hasn't touched equipment before
This or the sb2?
They took out the Crossfader Curve!!!
Is the mic jack in balanced? And has it got the improved input (the SR1 input was super weak, and I haven't even bothered trying the SB2 one). Now the SR(2) is almost as much as a proper 4-channel SX2 I would hope so!
They added added AC power and RGB pads. Cool. But the NS6ii is much more bang for the money. Its all metal, dual sound cards and has jog displays.
I am a big fan of Numark, but I don't see a point for them producing ns6 II. There are some obvious reasons to make a NV Mk3 with dvs support and dual screens but ns6 II is really something from the past
Evil Red They .made it to compete with the SX2, Denon MC 7000/6000, Reloop Mixon and other top teir compact controllers.
Daniel Carthen I hear you on that one but those are really big and would make the use of the turntables a long ready these are just right
They definitely made the NS6ii smaller with DVS in mind.
They also added DVS support. This was a big selling point for me because I use the controller with my turntables. It's basically my Serato mixer.
Dope I just don't understand why they didn't do more the center of jog wheel. You got a donut hole of dead space. I need a visual playhead.
DJ Angel Ortiz Totally agree. Design flaw but that's how they get us we have to upgrade to a 4 channel just to get led indicator jogwheels. What about adding it for the 2 channel though🤷🏼♂️
Like this but a xdj 2 would of been a nice Christmas gift to myself
Wish they would do another one this same size with dual usb.
It's official I just preordered it. Got a great deal $100 off. Even though it doesn't have LED ring for cue indicator I'm not too worried I learned on real vinyl anyways.
so its basically a ddj-rr for serato?
Vicente lerdo i guess so
What is the advantage of using the power supply with the controller instead of the USB alone?
I'm not sure pal.
Love this product currently i own a sx2 which has never let me down, but always short of space for my turntables and only ever use two channels so this may be a good solution. I would be interested to know how it sounds . If the sound is on a par with the sx2 then this is on top of the christmas list. Nice move Pioneer
Great Controller... I just wanted more channels. I just order the SX2 today; upgrading from the SB2..(can't wait until it arrives)... I hated the fact that I couldn't use it as a stand alone mixer.

Love mine
Hi Pioneer DJ,
Really nice controller! Me and a lot of other people want to know of you guys are going to make a XDJ-RX2 anytime soon. I'm thinking about buying the RX, but I want to make sure I won't buy it just to find out there's a new version coming out soon.
Thanks!
Great but the L.E.D jog wheels could have been better
love it :) need to ship some in jamaica
Looks good, but I had way too many problem with the SR-1!!
Excelente!! Me gustaria que la empresa de PIONNER DJ HAGA UN VIDEO SOBRE LA PIONNER SR 1 UN REVIEW!:) OFFICIAL INTRODUTTION CON MEZCLAS!
STANDALONE MIXERS ON AFFORDABLE CONTROLLER !
Nice. Was afraid they were done with Serato.
same.
ClectaSkiMusic no way! Serato controllers are their best sellers by far! Rekordbox controllers are not even in the top ten.
Now they are
I like this one
It was about time! Is SX3 Coming?
What more would they even add to it tho
Damn, I was really hoping for longer pitch faders and jog wheel displays. Guess I'm going to have to get the Mixars Primo instead.
Handy Skratch unfortunately the Mixars Primo has no release date yet. They keep back tracking and have no ETA on the date believe me I've contacted 3 DJ stores already. Shitty
DjTecniq damn. I was wondering about that. I thought for sure they would beat this to market.
Mixars faders on units are shitty .. SR2 faders are superior
Mixars primo faders are shitty
Get this instead
Had the SR sold it to get the SX2 last month. I have 45 days to return the sx2 and now I see this sr2 perfect 2 channel controller but.... the missing led indicators on the jogs is what will make me stick with the SX2
Was the crossfader curve eliminated??? And how do you control the volume on the auxiliary input??
Does it make a difference if I am using the power plug or just USB??? Do I get more volume input from using the power plug?
Would be nice if the third itteration of this thing had visual feedback on the jogwheels. Most definately not going to buy the huge sx2 or sx3 just because of that. Too big and I dont really need 4 chanels... would be nice to see this feature on the smaller controller.
Looks good pioneer but I'm waiting for sx3 do we have to wait another year or two for that one
Love the SR2 but would of been nice to add an Aux.
great i just got the denon mc4000 two weeks ago because i thought pioneer would never make another serato controller let alone a 2 channel version of the SX line with XLR. depending on price i still may get it and sell my SX1
Hey, hope it's not too late 😉 It costs $699.
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you record your set with this?
If you're using DJ Serato pro, then yes. I don't know about RekordBox though.
What kind of laptop specs do i need to use this controller in a 100% best sound quality?
Hi Enea, these are the hardware requirements: goo.gl/obnwc4 and here the software requirements: goo.gl/fGFoDw
Will this controller fit in a DDJ-SR1 flight case?
TeamHeadshot 101 yes
Patiently waiting for the XDJ-RX2 pls @ Carl Cox aka God.
Suban un tutorías sobre la XDJ -RX. Sobre todo lo q se puede hacer con ella. Será grandioso y como conectarla a la computadora y a Rekordbox
Just out of curiosity, do those new jogs with the lights have a position indicator when the track is playing or are the lights there just for show?
They appear because the fader.
Huh?
Nope. They cheaped out. No vinyl position indicator. Which makes this unit a non-starter for me.
Whats up with them jog wheels though! :(
STR8TeK9 right? No display???
yh would have been nice to have the led indicator spinning around the center
STR8TeK9 there's LED rings but I think they can be illuminated maybe?
My point exactly! What's the point of adding the lights if they don't spin with the track... a bit pointless me thinks
Actually it indeed looks like LED rings are in the middle hoping maybe a firmware update will illuminate them...is kind of a deal breaker would like to see where I'm at on the jogwheels for juggling.
@pioneerdj are the fx post xfader?
We know the SX3 is coming at this point. It's just waiting till it's released.
wow nice
When will this be out for sale and how much is it
Hey! Where are you based so I can be more exactly regarding the availability? The price is $699.
Pioneer DJ Texas
Any chance of ddj rb2 this year?
cool....so where it is the "*Booth volumen button*" located.? how do you control the volumen usin the BOOTH.????
Hi! Please see more info about the BOOTH MONITOR CONTROL on page 12 of the manual: goo.gl/uspQSK
Is the crossfader removable?
And the price is...?
I saw $699 somewhere
Hi! The price is $699.
Got mine for $599 preorder at thedjhookup.com. Amazing customer service.
Pioneer DJ WHAT!! HERE IN CANADA ITS $919!!!!
Does it come with a full Serato Dj license?
Hey, not a full licence, but Serato dj and Serato Pitch 'n Time DJ are included.
are u guys planning on releasing the ddj sz3 somehow near in the future? i was thinking of getting the sz2 and i dont want to kill myself afterwards if this happens :)
Hi Raph, we've just released the SZ2 the last December. It is still very soon to have news of a third version 🙂
are you planning to release a sx3 with new fonction of serato ( pitch n time cue play ...)
The xdj 700 does work with serato?
Why does the censor button blink whenever I use DVS or with any record movement? Happens on both decks. Noticed it's in the demo vid as well. This a bug🤔
Hi there. Is it possible you record a quick video to make us understand the issue better? You can tag us on Facebook or Twitter @pioneerdjglobal, and we will help out.
Pioneer DJ The censor buttons blink whenever vinyl is moved/touched when using DVS.
@ 2:20 into the video the censor buttons are blinking when he moves the record. Is that normal with DVS?
Hi there, sorry for the delay on the reply. With DVS, Serato DJ light up the CENSOR LED while the turntable moves reverse direction.
This means the CENSOR LED will blink while scratching.
Pioneer DJ gotcha ok thanks.
Is that the new one
I used the ddjSr 1 for couple years then I buy ddj SX1 then ddjsx2 then mcx8000 Denon then pioneer s9 for my turntables and finally ddsz2. I decide to sell ddjSr and ddj SX1 & ddj sx2 I still missing my ddjSr very strong controller compact fit every were very solid controller for sure I will get this ddJ sr2 ....!!!!!! Now this have xlr outputs plus I can connect turntables or CD players the old ddjSr only come with 1 aux output the only issue I notice in this one is you need to connect to the electricity AC
what I love from the old version ddjSr was just USB cable and you ready to go ....
superdjrumbero AC power means more volume and headroom. This is good. No USB dropouts.
Daniel Carthen i understand you point but this is portable mixer...!!! For me is better without power ac cable if you have it on case not big deal but if you don't used case can be complicate if you have to connect you laptop plus de mixer also I never see any difference between my controller ddjsr1 and my other big brother ddsz2 both same quality for me and I always used at clubs is just my opinion..! Pioneer know how to build dj equipament
With the XLR outs and stand alone mixer feature they had to add the xtra power. This will sound so much better now. Brands don't impress me. Only features. I have a DDJ SZ, Numark NS7ii, Numark Mixtrack Platinum and DDJ SX2.
Daniel Carthen for me pioneer is the best Dj manufacture but is my opinion just my opinion i respect you opinion I been using pioneer for several years never single problem maybe that is the reason for my opinion about pioneer....!!!
I hear ya. I've had Vestax, Various Numarks and all kinds of other gear. Dont be afraid to try something new! You might be surprised. I just had to learn how to fix the fader on my DDJ SZ. Ugh. Such a pain but easy now that I know how.
Nice cool
FINALLY OMFG
Does sr2 has deck 1 deck 2 button like sr
Why can't we buy this on an official website?
This is of course cool and all, but will this unit freeze up like the SR does when the key lock function is activated? That's the reason I sold mine, I felt ripped off by Pioneer.
AARON REYES that may be due to your computer specs or firmware. I've played on one and never had that happen...
I like this ddj Play any a controller sr2
Is it compatible with windows 10?
Sweet! What´s the price?
H! The price is $699.
Pioneer DJ release date? Is it confirmed for end of this month?
Would I be able to use one deck as turntable/DVS and the other deck as controller or no?
DjTecniq I think so
Semian Schűch yeah I'm not positive it would just be convenient to play on one turntable and the other deck like a reg deck. I thought the DVS addon is one or the other you can't split it.
If you mean using an external turntable, the DDJ-SR2 has a switch on the mixer to phono but as this is only a 2 channel mixer, you can only go from using channel one on the sr2 and channel 2 on the external turntable.
Pioneer DJ but I'll still be able to play both vinyl and controller at the same time w/2 decks right?
Yes, you can, just have to switch over i.e deck 2 to phono input 🙂
Does that mean we are getting an SX3?
When will it be available?
Hi Marco, where are you based so I can be more precise?
In the U. S. California
Good news! It's already available there! You can buy it from our e-shop or from one of our authorized stores: goo.gl/DhRWxc
Any new Rekordbox hardware?
maybe DDJ RR 2
Jaydee Joy fingers crossed as I am looking to get a new controller but want to try Rekordbox Dj as always used Traktor and an S4 but would still be concerned at those short pitch faders...ddj rx is also tempting.
i used traktor pro n serato dj with numark mixtrack pro 2 and 3 a few year. now i m on rekordbox dj with ddj RB its my idea rekordbox better than others dj software. i think ddj rr2 coming soon with key snyc cos. rokordbox 5 will have key sync .
Let's be patient 🙂
These are our latest rekordbox-compatible products:

Best controller for the $$$$
Jog's sensitivity has been improved?
Ddj sb2 works better than Ddj sr
Rekordbox doesn't have pitch play, right?
Hi Aaron, it doesn't.
Hopefully, the SR3 will have a display in the jogs like the SX controllers.
Better the ddj 800 display XD
Key shift tone play? This was already on Traktor last 2012 I believe. Why so late?
I would buy if it had 4 channel mixer
ree get the SX3 then 😂
SX3 soon?
Nice I got first Sr
Cambiar a español
my god and I expected that at some point salary to the market this ddj sr 2 to buy it hope it is on sale soon. thanks pioneer
anyone have a tsi. map for sr2? my macbook early 2011 crash many times with the serato, traktor is the only way :(
SX3 incoming ?
