    Today, we're putting the spotlight on one of the most convenient pieces of hardware in the DJ space. In this review of the Denon DJ PRIME Go, I tell you about this two-channel all-in-one standalone DJ system... and why you might want to consider it.
    There are different things DJs value when it comes to DJ controllers, but a universally praised trait is… convenience. And the Prime Go is the ultimate in convenience. It’s a no-frills, standalone, 2-channel DJ system that runs Engine OS. It has all the basics you need for mixing: hot cues, FX, EQs and filters… even wi-fi streaming… in an easy-to-carry package.
    But the real standout feature of the Prime GO is its four-hour battery… allowing you to pop on some headphones and bring it with you in a train, plane, or automobile. Or, on a family vacation, like I did a few months back… where I used this Prime Go to teach my stepdaughter the basics of DJing.
    Today, I’m gonna share my experience with the Prime Go, talk about all its features, and help you figure out if it’s the right DJ system for you.

    Denon puts removable plastic where you used that Microfiber Cloth. I know this because I kept my plastic on my Prime 4. Just peel it off if you want the actual finish, Lol...

    Denon always has great products. I’ve been rocking my AVR-X1100w 7.2 surround sound receiver for 6+ years now, never a single issue and puts out super clean power.

    Can you download / buy Music direct from the device or do you need to use a USB that has had Music put on from the laptop? Thinking of DJing in a place where there is no internet!
    It highlights standalone, just wondering whether a laptop is needed at set-up stage, updates and getting your music…

    • @PassionateDJ
      @PassionateDJ  Год назад

      You can either provide your own downloaded music (e.g. with USB drive), or you can use Dropbox or streaming service which supports an "offline locker" (allowing you to download some music to the local device).
      In any case, a computer would be helpful off-stage for building and managing your libraries or playlists.

      @PassionateDJ  3 месяца назад

      There’s only $300 difference, so if you are cross-shopping these two, I would recommend the SC Live 4. It is way, way more capable than the PRIME Go. The big selling point of the Go is the battery - but since that doesn’t seem to be critical for you, you’ll be much happier with the SC Live 4’s capabilities. See my latest video for more info on this - a full guide covering all these Standalones! Hope this helps.
