XDJ-700: Pioneer’s $699 Touchscreen Compact Player





We speculated that Pioneer would release a new media player in their XDJ line soon. But instead of an XDJ-2000, the DJ manufacturer is going the opposite direction and making a lower-cost digital player for the masses, the XDJ-700. See the full announcement and features inside, as well as how it sizes up along other similar players.



The XDJ-700 offers DJs and venues unparalleled set-up possibilities. Its compact size and removable stand means it's perfect for even the smallest booth or home set-up. It’s the first player at this price to feature Pro DJ Link – allowing you to share one source with up to four players or laptops. Tracks can be loaded via USB or Wi-Fi to give you even more choice.

The XDJ-700 is packed with the best features of the XDJ-1000, including Hot Cues, auto loops, Slip Mode and Beat Sync. The large, full-colour LCD screen gives you intuitive access to all the player’s features and faster browsing through a QWERTY keyboard word search. You can prepare your sets in rekordbox (Mac/PC) or the rekordbox app (iOS/Android) and the screen will display crucial information including wave display, beat countdown, phase meter and Key Analysis.



KEY FEATURES
Large full-colour LCD touchscreen and fast track selection
A 7-inch, full-colour touchscreen gives you intuitive control of the player’s features, while the three windows – browse, play and perform – stop the screen from getting overcrowded. Browsing is effortless; you can choose to scroll using the rotary dial or call up the QWERTY keyboard to do a keyword search.
Pro-DJ features inherited from top-flight players
The XDJ-700 boasts most features of the XDJ-1000, many of which are inherited from the flagship CDJ-2000NXS:
Auto loops and Hot Cues instantly trigger loops and cues you’ve set in rekordbox
Quantize snaps loops and cues to the beat grid
Beat Sync matches the BPM of connected players to the beat of the master deck
Slip Mode silently continues track playback during a loop, reverse or scratch and brings the music back at the right point when you exit the performance
rekordbox-ready to give access to more features and enhanced track information
You can analyse your tracks in rekordbox and the XDJ-700’s large touchscreen will display:
Wave display with Wave Zoom which allows you to zoom x5 for precision loops and cues
Beat Countdown which lets you mark key points on a track and the player will count down from up to 64 bars away
Phase Meter that shows the position of the beat in the bar so you can compare the phase of each player with the master deck at a glance
Key Analysis Indicator, a traffic light system shows which rekordbox tracks are in a compatible musical key with the master deck
Active Loops that can be set at the end of tracks to ensure you’re never caught unprepared again
Pro DJ Link for enhanced flexibility and scope
Pro DJ Link means that you can connect up to four players or laptops via a LAN cable and share one source between them. rekordbox information can be shared across all four pieces of hardware, including the Beat Count, Phase Meter, Beat Sync and Key Analysis.
Load and browse music using Wi-Fi or USB connection
In addition to USB ****, you can load rekordbox-ready music from PCs, laptops and smartphones using a USB or Wi-Fi* connection. Simply connect a device running rekordbox (PC/Mac) or the rekordbox app (iOS/Android) to the XDJ-700 and then browse and load tracks from the device’s screen. Devices connected via USB will even be charged during performance.
Compact design stand
Being our slimmest player yet, the XDJ-700 has been designed with the small booth or home set-up in mind. The unit measures just 238 x 308 x 106 mm (W x D x H). Plus the stand can easily be removed, reducing the height to 79 mm – helping it to fit into even smaller spaces.
