Native control with the new rekordbox™ video Plus Pack for rekordbox dj. Pioneer DJ presents its new DDJ-RZX controller. Designed to make the most of the new rekordbox™ video Plus Pack for rekordbox dj, it draws on the company's experience building video DJ equipment such as the DVJ-1000 and SVM-1000.
The DDJ-RZX is a professional 4-channel controller for mobile DJs and anyone who wants to play videos in their performances.
