- In this video, I'm unboxing the Denon Prime 4+, a new DJ gear that's been on my radar for a while. I've been a fan of the Denon brand for a long time (and yet, an admitted Rekordbox fanboy much, much longer....), and I'm excited to test out the Prime 4+ in action!
If you're a DJ or music producer, then you need to check out the Denon Prime 4+. This gear is built for serious DJs and music producers who demand the best sound quality possible. In this video, I unbox the Prime 4+, show you how it works, and give you my honest opinion. Will this kit pull me away from Rekordbox DJ?
Don't wait any longer. Order your Denon Prime 4+ today and experience for yourself the best DJ gear on the market. In stock now at www.nlfxpro.com/ @NLFXpro

One of my friends said you can flip this thing over, remove the panel, and install a 2TB SSD in it. WOAH - Aaron. 🔥📦
I have that 2tb in mines but I'm telling you these units have problems if you really work them.
@@masterpdj2623 had my prime for 5 years and worked the hell out of them with spilled drinks etc.. not a problem upgrading to this ine
nonsense.@@masterpdj2623
@@masterpdj2623What problems?
I left Serato and Pioneer in the dust a few years ago and haven't looked back. I'm now on the Denon Prime 4+ and I am convinced I found the holy grail of DJ controllers. Wait until stems comes out this month. It's game over!!!
Did stems come out or is it still a sub par beta?
Love my Prime 4. Going to get Prime 4+ maybe end of the year!!
love the review, I recently purchased this model in white and I love it!
Thanks for Sharing!
Great non biased analysis Thank You 🙏
I sold my cdj's and all of the rest of my equipment, invested in the prime 4 and I knew I'd never look back... Then they dropped the 4+ so I sold the P4 and bagged the P4+. Best console ever... Pioneer will never beat the integration and features dennon are chucking at the prime 4 series... Nothing on the market comes close 💯🔥
The updates that I’ve got for the regular prime are amazing. Never thought I’d have a controller that comes out with new features all the time
@@jaja87 wicked bit of kit.. Denon are on point... The updates just get better and better.. roll on the full release of the stems feature 🙌🏼
I almost got this instead of my ddj 1000 back in 2018 but was scared to leave familiar pioneer...now I'm back in the market. I like this all over again
I love Denon I have the prime 4 and the sc6000 m whit a Rane 72 mk2 … great units … great video
Hey, thanks! My first unboxing! - Aaron
Denon can make next controller with bigger jog like sc5000 because pioneer looking good with jog of cdj3000
Hola buen video amigo, yo cambié Ha Denon hace algunos años era de pioneer pero dejó de interesarme porque no ofreció nada nuevo e innovador pero Denon ha sabido aprovechar el lo que los Djs necesitaban y esta haciendo muy buen trabajo y con precios muy buenos . Un saludo muy grande desde Conil, Cádiz, España.
Cool
Where is that blaring Green that you mentioned!
Bom analise, por aqui no brasil so flaboy pionerro
The zone-out can play deck 4 independently of the main output
Dannnnng - Aaron
Correct.
I use the zone out for cocktail regularly. So nice to be able to run a separate playlist from the same place. Clutch!
bud, you need a better camera. even at 1080p it looked like 480p
also, I love my (OG) Prime 4 and with Engine 3.3 it just murders Pioneer
So can you read rekordbox libraries plug and play on this unit??
No
Don’t know.. Prime 4+ or Opus Quad… for wedding DJ. But also want To play at clubs in the Future… Is Engine DJ so Bad that it justifies to pay 800€ more for the Opus Quad?…😅
Pioneer's releasing mediocre and overpriced products in recent years starting with Rekordbox which is a shame, Denon DJ is doing it RIGHT. Can't wait to upgrade my Prime 4 for the new Plus model.
Rekordbox é uma
The Opus quad is not even the best pioneer all in one IMO. It actually feels like a step back.
Wait until it wants to take 3 minutes to download a song in the middle of a hot set. You'll think twice about these units. I have them both, SC4 LIVE and the DENON 4 plus and when these things get a little confused they're both turn into a freakin hot mess and will have you quickly looking for an aux plug in to just play any song. If you're a quick mixing in and get out DJ these units are not for you. As of now these aren't ready for prime time, if you're kinda playing full songs and everything is downloaded then these might work for you. I would keep your MacBook close at hand
Maybe your internet is the problem? Songs take maybe 3 seconds to analyze & download on stable wifi but if I try to use my hotspot then fuggetaboutit.
@@tywilliams7141 No this is different because after that even the song on the thumb drive take minutes to load and the only way to fix it is by turn it off and on the unit in the middle of a show a packed dance floor. I'm not sure about you but I can't have this at my events. Also my MacBooks on the same wifi load within seconds. I've been in the DJ tech game for a long time these aren't ready for show time. Probably why you don't see top DJ's using these on the road.
I clearly see the opposite ... if your gonna download while in a "hot set " you better have a decent wifi connection otherwise that's all on you if you suck of your waiting in vain...get a usb like a human being . ...super fast loading without it even anylized ... all equipment heats up so Denon has the features and I've never had any issues ..
. Great gear all around in the prime category and I absolutely love the 6000's 6000m's and the prime 4 plus is a serious beast
@@bigpickz I hear, so you never download music when you're DJ'n. You must have every song in your collection I guess. All of Denon controllers have these little bugs I have the 6000, MC7000 and the MCX8000 and while being incredible to look at they don't alway hold up. I think it's a good idea with great intention but not for hard mixing events. Corporate events big yes, Christmas parties and stuff like that big BIG yes If you're play a club with pre set up sets with simple BPM mixing you'll might be fine. I'm telling you once you jump to different sites or wifi to pull music to the controller it get's confused and won't even play from the SD, thumb drive or the 2tb hard drive in it. I brought two of these things for my company but I'm going back to my 2 Rolland MC 707. But I will keep one of these DENON for slower hardly no mixing events. Take you DENON Prime 4 out on a real gig and see what I mean. But if you're a DJ playing entire songs you'll be fine.
@@masterpdj2623 why so angry and all over forums bashing these units. It seems your workflow is not meant for this type of controller or your wifi sucks everywhere because on my Engine units I have no issues at all. Streaming is meant for the few requests you get a night or hanging with friends and just having some fun. To rely on it to run a party is just shit DJ planning. Sorry but thats the truth. Bashing other DJ's and getting mad because you have been doing this for years is counterintuitive and kinda dicky. Just saying.
Yeah, Denon is always the first to innovate but their gear is full of bugs.
They look and sound great but both my SC 4 LIVE and my DENON 4 Plus both had me freakin out at two events when my dance floor was jumping. From out of no where these units started taking 3 to 4 minutes to download a song and if you're a mixing DJ these units will leave you hanging. Remember a MacBook Pro will cost you over 2k and this unit is trying to it all for $2300. It's not ready for prime time. I've already call Sweetwater to return mine but I will give it one more shot because I love the idea of these units. And yes I carry my own Wifi and just a phone hot spot. And something I didn't think of is that these units will have you looking down all the time instead engaging your dance floor.
@@masterpdj2623 don't you have time to pre-game your streaming playlists, like download the ones you want to play?
I just started streaming with Beatport and the pro subscription gives you the option to download up to 1,000 songs into playlists.
Also, if that is not an option, you have four decks. Load a track into any one that you aren't using, let it load, and play it later.
Yeah, I had the MCX8000 and from the start the right screen just went blank randomly. I found out in the forums that it was a common issue. And now I'm hearing more and more about problems with the current line-up.
I wouldn’t stream music for live performances. It’s more for prep and potential playlist building. Denon has the fastest download speed for this, but it’s nowhere near as fast as just prepping your music on a usb. God forbid the WiFi is crap
@@masterpdj2623 why tf would anyone buy a macbook lmao
@@masterpdj2623 and also why tf are u downloading songs while at an event lol
Come on bro, you can’t work into a club with that gear…. You can’t manage efx seriously in front of a club crew with that small cursors! It’s a wedding dj gear. Not for Pro Level Club Djs.
It works fine idk what you're on about
That’s funny…. I been professionally smashing clubs for the last 8 years, and been destroying dance floors for the last two years on the Prime GO!
You’re out of your league, and you not of what you speak.
Your probably on Hercules lol
