There are two mic inputs on the DDJ 800, which is somewhat uncommon for most DJ controller units. You can have an MC and a vocalist join in on your mix at the same time. Though it feels like our advanced DDJ-1000 DJ controller, the DDJ-800 is 1.3 kg lighter so you can comfortably transport it between events. Jog Displays If the LCD jog wheel screen doesn’t quite meet your visual needs, the XDJ-RR has more digital displays that your eyes may crave.

The capacitive jog wheels respond to touch rather than physical pressure like the mechanical units do. As such they are a solid unit that breaks less easily than the more fragile mechanical units do, which are spring loaded. This seems a logical choice as portability is a great feature of this controller, however it’s a sad one as the mechanical jog wheels on the DDJ 1000 were one of its best features. Completely unique in the market and they really gave the unit that more professional CDJ feel. The MixerI’m sure you can find your unique style with an array of Pad FX performance modes. Best Alternatives to the DDJ-800 Finally, microphones can be connected to the two microphone inputs. Mic one features an XLR/TRS combo balanced input and Mic Two features a single TRS connection.

Warranty Info

Perform with the DDJ-800 as if you’re using our flagship setup. All the buttons, knobs, and faders on the controller are arranged and used in the same way as those on our club-standard CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2 setup.

The DDJ-800 jog wheels are smaller than those on the CDJ-1000 but have the same superb technology and features. Audio mixer feature - use the DDJ-800 as a mixer to control the volume of audio input from an external device The DDJ 800 has applaudable connectivity options. The DJ controller can function as a stand-alone mixer, operating two external phono/line inputs.In the center of the looping section is a crucial advantage you’ll want to use: the ‘Quantize’ button. Unlike the older Pioneer controllers, the microphone channels are independent and don’t take over regular channels anymore which is great. The auxiliary input is another independent channel and is controlled by a simple volume control, sadly no EQ or effects here but will do for plugging in a phone or MP3 player. The mixer features a stand alone mode with switchable line/phono inputs on both channels. This also means the DDJ 800 is compatible with Rekordbox DVS but you will need an additional licence to use that feature and as you’ll find out later really doesn’t work very well! Performance Features The LCD on-jog display located in the center of the jog wheels is the main feature. They’re very eye-catching, so a DJ’s gaze doesn’t wander up to the computer to discover performance metrics.
