We are asked every day:

What is the difference between a Pioneer Xdj-xz, a Pioneer Opus Quad and a Denon Prime4+?

We put the three players side by side, view their specifications.

Bekafun is completely impartial, we are both Pioneer and Denon dealers.

View the pros and cons and decide for yourself which controller suits you best.

A stand-alone DJ controller is a device specifically designed for DJing, capable of functioning independently without the need for an external computer. Unlike traditional DJ setups that involve a computer running DJ software, a stand-alone DJ controller integrates both the necessary hardware and software within a single device.

Typically, these controllers feature a built-in mixer, jog wheels or turntables for track control, and a display for viewing track information and performing other functions. Stand-alone controllers can be used with USB sticks, SD cards, or other storage media to play music directly from the device, eliminating the need for an external computer.

The advantage of stand-alone DJ controllers lies in their portability and reduced dependence on external equipment. DJs can easily transport them to gigs and events without the requirement of a full DJ booth with a computer. This makes them convenient for mobile DJs and situations where a compact and self-contained setup is needed.

The Pioneer XDJ-XZ is a professional DJ controller designed for use with DJ software such as Rekordbox DJ or Serato DJ. The device has four channels for mixing digital music and can be connected to a computer or laptop via USB.

The XDJ-XZ has a number of useful features, such as a built-in audio interface for connecting microphones or other audio equipment, a number of effects that can be added to the music during mixing, and a loop function for repeating specific tracks. The device also has a number of knobs and faders for equalizing and mixing the music.

The OPUS-QUAD introduces a completely new approach to DJ equipment, harmoniously combining design and playability. The device makes playing music more elegant and the space filled by the music larger. This way the audience enjoys a completely new experience.

Thanks to its matte black finish and earth-colored slots at the front and sides, the device fits perfectly into any environment. The whole device has a 5-degree slope and the front is rounded, which makes it more comfortable to rest your hands on it. The waves and texture on the outside and top of the jogs not only provide an aesthetic touch but also provide more grip. The colors of the lighting on the jog rings match the adjustable colors that you assign to your decks so that you always know which deck is playing. All this ensures that you can play comfortably and give your best to inspire your audience.

The OPUS-QUAD offers standalone playback on 4 decks for versatile DJ performances. This means you can play 4 songs simultaneously on 4 different decks, prepare the songs in advance or keep one deck free to drop request songs straight into your set, all with a single device. You can also give each deck a different color. This color is also reflected in the lighting of the jog rings, so that you always know exactly which deck you are playing with.
