Building on the success of previous Prime models, the Prime 4 Plus Standalone DJ System is the perfect choice for any professional DJ. This all-in-one DJ Controller includes everything you need to take your mixing to the next level. Improve your workflow and add flare to your transitions with the intuitive layout and ergonomic controls. However, with all this talk of power, there are downsides. There’s no video: Although it can control visuals via the Link port, you’ll need to add Resolume for visuals or SoundSwitch for lights (although they have made lighting improvements since launch), and it’s not the same thing as DJing with music MP4s. The Prime 4 does work with Serato DJ as a DJ controller, though, which does add another dimension to the unit (because you then have video available). The Prime 4+ is built to withstand the demands of professional use, featuring a rugged metal chassis and steel knob stems for ultimate reliability. Its 10.1-inch HD multi-touch display provides a clear and intuitive interface for effortless navigation. Plus, with its built-in 2.5-inch SATA drive bay, you can store your music directly on the controller. A final but important use for the screens is to control the two settings/options-type menus, to choose between input sources, and to record your sets: A long hold on the hardware “view” button (also used to toggle between library and waveform views) brings up the options here.

Die Verarbeitungsqualität des Prime 4+ ist hervorragend. Robuste Materialien sorgen dafür, dass das Gerät selbst intensiven Transporten und häufigen Auf- und Abbauten standhält. Ich kann mich auf die Langlebigkeit dieses Geräts verlassen, was mir als beruflich tätiger DJ sehr wichtig ist. You can control the level and 2 band EQ of the zone direct from the unit. If playing an internal playlist isn’t for you you can also send channel 4’s external source to the Zone. We can also see this feature being useful in smaller venues, the zone could output to the seating area, bar area or even the toilets and hallways. It’s a brand new concept and something we would love to see on more hardware in the future! The Zone output is handled by balanced XLR outputs.This all-in-one design eliminates the need to carry a computer or laptop with you on the move.
