Aside from rolling out the MCX8000 Prime enabling firmware, Denon DJ also has an update for Engine Prime and the SC5000 units.
Tens of thousands of words and pictures later, that was our take on the Denon DJ Prime range. We've wanted to throw things, but overwhelmingly welcome their addition to the DJ scene. But what does it all mean for you, me, and every DJ out there? Read my rambling opinion to bring closure to this epic week.
Denon DJ pulled out all the stops to bring the SC5000 Prime to DJs. Does it live up to the hype? Can it truly take on the ubiquity of Pioneer DJ in booths around the world? We run it through our brutal and feared review process and find out.
My prayers have been answered, and Denon DJ has made a motorised version of the SC5000 Prime player, logically called the SC5000M Prime.
What do you do when you are lent some bleeding edge DJ gear for a weekend? Rinse some techno at a filthy rave, of course. Dan took the SC5000 Prime players and matching X1800 Prime mixer out for a play, and this is how it went.
For us, the success of the #changeyourrider hashtag depended on the ability to convert another library into something playable on the SC5000 Prime. Denon DJ released Engine Prime into the wild, but should have spent considerably more time on it. What follows is a glimpse of our feelings while we wait for the next beta.
