Pioneer DJ Announces DJM-S3 Mixer and DDJ-SR2 Controller
Pioneer DJ has announced two new products: a two-channel battle mixer called the DJM-S3 and an upgrade to their portable DDJ-SR1 Serato DJ controller.
DJM-S3 mixer
The DJM-S3 has a scratch-friendly layout with a durable Magvel crossfader, which is taken from the DJM-900NXS2 mixer. It also inherits a built-in sound card from the DJM-S9, making it Serato DJ- and DVS-enabled. Other key features include independent channel filters and two headphone outputs.
DDJ-SR2 controller
The DDJ-SR2 includes the latest features in Serato DJ, including the Pitch ‘n Time DJ Expansion Pack, for which it has dedicated hardware controls. It is 18 percent lighter than its predecessor and comes with multicolored performance pads.
The DJM-S3 and DDJ-SR2 will be available in September with a suggested retail price of $499 and $699, respectively.
Watch Pioneer’s introduction videos for both products below. (The DJM-S3 video features Los Angeles’ DJ ZO and Phoenix’s DJ-R.)
