  2023/03/08

  Pioneer DJ introduces the new "OPUS-QUAD," an all-in-one DJ system combining advanced performance with a unique design.
  
  The OPUS-QUAD, a separate lineup from the XDJ Series, is a one-of-a-kind design that improves DJ performance and matches various spaces and locations to provide audiences with an exceptional musical experience. A display is placed on top of each deck to enhance playing performance, a large 10.1-inch touch display is in the center, and a new joystick-type smart rotary selector is incorporated. In addition, they redesigned the mixer and jogs. On the sound side, a 32-bit high-quality D/A converter by ESS technology is incorporated in the MASTER output section to achieve a high sound quality yet calm and gentle sound. They designed it to meet the increasingly diverse DJ scene and create the best atmosphere at any venue.
  
  The estimated retail price is 410,000 JPY (including tax), and they scheduled the product for sale on Friday, March 24. Therefore, we are taking pre-orders now in advance of the release.
