Roland DJ-505 2-deck Serato DJ Controller w/ Drum Machine

Pioneer DJ created the DDJ-800 DJ controller to deliver the experience of their acclaimed DDJ-1000 DJ controller in a smaller, more lightweight design. This 2-channel, rekordbox-compatible controller introduces high-definition LCD displays inside the jog wheels for instant visual feedback regarding playback time, bpm, and waveforms. And because its hands-on controls are laid out in the same way as Pioneer DJ's CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2 setup, the DDJ-800 will feel familiar to experienced DJs. If you seek the DDJ experience with maximum portability, then you need the Pioneer DJ DDJ-800 DJ controller.

The DDJ-800 is made specifically for DJs seeking the amazing performance potential of the flagship DDJ-1000 in a more efficient format. The DDJ-800 is more compact and lightweight — 78% smaller in volume and almost 3 lbs lighter in weight. If two decks are all you need, then the lighter weight and smaller size of the DDJ-800 should be appealing to any regularly gigging DJ.

If you've ever gotten your hands on Pioneer DJ's CDJ-2000NXS2 or DJM-900NXS2 systems, then you'll feel right at home with the DDJ-800 controller. Its buttons and knobs are based on the same layout as the NXS2 systems — using the DDJ-800 is the same as using an NXS2 setup to control music from an external USB drive.
