Pioneer Announces XDJ-RX DJ Controller with LCD Screen

Last year at this time, Pioneer revealed the DDJ-SZ, the goliath to the david of the DDJ-SX and SX2. Numark and Traktor have both hopped on the LCD screen bandwagon, which is so far appearing to be REALLY convenient for the laptop DJ. Today, Pioneer announced its next big thing,... the XDJ-RX

Some of you might recall the XDJ-R1 from nearly two years ago...some of you might not. Maybe I was looking for a CD Player when I heard about the XDJ-RX...but I digress, because this thing is still pretty rad.

The XDJ-RX features a 7-Inch LCD screen in the middle of the unit, displaying all of the pertinent information from your favorite DJ software.

You'll also get plenty of playback options, even without the CD Players. The XDJ-RX is capable of playing media from your iPhone, Android, USB storage, and of course, your DJ software.

So does this put you past the DDJ-SX2? Is it too soon on the heels of the release of one of the best selling DJ Controllers that Pioneer has ever made? Are you digging into your piggy bank for the extra $200-300 that this one will run you? Expected street price... $1199.

She's sleek, she's pretty, she's compatible with Traktor Pro 2. Best of all right now is that Pioneer has made one of their best product videos ever. Watching this thing gets us all worked up for the NAMM show.
