The Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 is a 2-channel DJ controller built for new and improving DJs who want a club-style layout without the club-gear price.

A natural first controller that still leaves room to grow, available at Soundium.

Customer Benefits
The DDJ-FLX4 lowers the barrier to mixing without dumbing it down. Smart Fader and Smart CFX let you sound polished from your first session, while the full-size jog wheels and channel layout build the muscle memory you will carry to bigger gear later. Because it is class compliant and bus powered, there are no drivers to chase and no power brick to pack, so you spend your time practising rather than troubleshooting.
