For DJs seeking a portable yet professional setup perfect for parties, events, or compact venue installations, the Pioneer XDJ-RX3 stands out as a comprehensive solution. It’s equally ideal for home practice, ensuring comfort and familiarity when transitioning to club-standard CDJ+DJM setups. Flexibility is key: play rekordbox-analyzed tracks directly from USB drives or connect your laptop to unlock rekordbox Performance mode, with added support for Serato DJ Pro.
Immersive 10.1” Touchscreen with Enhanced Interface
The Pioneer XDJ-RX3 boasts a significant upgrade with its expansive 10.1” touchscreen – the largest ever featured on a Pioneer DJ all-in-one system. Notably bigger and clearer than the XDJ-RX2’s 7” screen, it offers a higher 1280:800 (WXGA) resolution and an improved frame rate. This results in exceptional visual clarity, showcasing even smoother waveforms. Coupled with a redesigned GUI and innovative features, navigation becomes intuitive, leading to faster browsing and more precise mixing.
The browse section now displays 12 tracks, up from 8, minimizing scrolling and accelerating your track selection process. A simple touch of the icon stack on the screen’s left side instantly reveals relevant track information, streamlining category-based browsing.
Rapid and Intuitive Browsing Capabilities
The innovative Playlist Bank feature on the Pioneer XDJ-RX3 allows you to select up to four playlists for instant access. This feature empowers DJs to quickly pull tracks from diverse genres and libraries, enhancing performance flexibility.
Previewing tracks is now as seamless as on the flagship CDJ-3000. Touch any point on a track’s waveform directly in the browse section to audition that specific segment. This eliminates the need to load tracks to the deck for previewing, saving valuable time and maintaining creative flow.
Precision Mixing with Visual Aids
For DJs who utilize rekordbox’s phrase analysis, the Pioneer XDJ-RX3 visually represents track structure directly on the waveform display. Sections like intros, choruses, and bridges are clearly marked, offering a “Phrase Display” that provides a visual roadmap of the music’s progression.
Gain a deeper understanding of a track’s sonic texture without even listening, thanks to the 3Band Waveform feature adopted from the CDJ-3000. This feature, alongside standard RGB and blue waveform options, uses color variations to represent the volume levels of high, mid, and low frequencies in rekordbox-analyzed tracks. Visually discern the music’s composition at a glance.
Enhanced Performance Features at Your Fingertips
The new pad status display on the Pioneer XDJ-RX3 provides instant visual feedback on performance pad modes. Confidently execute pad functions knowing their precise settings.
The Beat FX Bank is a new addition, letting you pre-assign your four favorite Beat FX for immediate activation with a single touch. For the first time in an all-in-one DJ system, the X-Pad is integrated directly into the touchscreen. Effortlessly apply complex effects with intuitive finger swipes.
Helpful Tools for Streamlined DJing
The Countdown Timer is a practical new feature for DJs on the Pioneer XDJ-RX3. Set a timer to count down to critical moments in your set – midnight on New Year’s Eve, a vocalist’s entrance, or a DJ handover – ensuring you stay on schedule.
The Repeat Playback function offers continuous music playback for situations like sound checks, eliminating the need for constant booth visits to restart music.
Color On-Jog Display for Track Awareness
Each jog wheel on the Pioneer XDJ-RX3 features a central LCD screen displaying playhead position and now artwork for quick track identification. Jog wheel responsiveness is significantly improved from the XDJ-RX2. The Feeling Adjust control allows you to customize the jog wheel’s “weight” to your preferred feel.
Expanded FX Suite: Beat FX and Sound Color FX
The Pioneer XDJ-RX3 expands your sonic palette with six new Beat FX and two additional Sound Color FX, building upon the already comprehensive effects from its predecessor. Access the full effect range of the DJM-900NXS2, including 14 Beat FX like Ping Pong, Filter, and Helix, and six Sound Color FX including Space and Crush.
Release FX: Dynamic Energy Control
Inject dynamism into your sets with Release FX on the Pioneer XDJ-RX3. Triggered via performance pads, these effects let you instantly alter track energy, create build-ups, or smooth transitions. Utilize Echo Out or Spin Out to dynamically mix into the next track. Choose from eight effect types including Vinyl Brake, Backspin, and Ducking.
Pristine Natural Audio Quality
The integrated design of the Pioneer XDJ-RX3 eliminates signal degradation from separate decks and mixers. A redesigned circuit board minimizes unwanted noise, and meticulous tuning delivers punchy lows and expressive mids and highs. Experience audio faithful to the original source, ensuring your audience hears your music as intended.
rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro Compatibility
The Pioneer XDJ-RX3 offers versatile software compatibility. Play rekordbox-analyzed music from USB in Export mode, or connect your laptop for Link Export or Performance mode via USB-HID control. As a Hardware Unlock device for rekordbox Performance mode, no paid subscription is needed to access core features when connected to a laptop. Plug-and-play compatibility with Serato DJ Pro is also included, expanding your DJ software options.
Refined Professional Design
The Pioneer XDJ-RX3 boasts a professional aesthetic with contrasting surface finishes and a layout inspired by club-standard equipment. Illuminated play/cue buttons and Color On Jog Displays enhance visibility in any environment. Protect your investment with the custom-designed XDJ-RX3 Decksaver cover.
