The Denon Prime 4 is a standalone DJ controller with a large, 10” HD touchscreen interface. The Prime 4 all-in-one DJ controller lets you leave your laptop at home. Its powerful multicore processor analyzes your music files internally. The Denon Prime 4 professional controller is also designed to accept a 2.5” SATA hard drive. This allows DJs to expand their setup and store their music on the Prime 4 without the need for external USB or SD media storage.
Denon’s built-in Engine Prime software lets DJs control four internal decks simultaneously. Use gestures and simple touches to control the Prime 4’s 10-inch color touch screen. Rugged, 6” metal jog wheels feature central display screens with customizable looks. The Prime 4’s platters can be set to display vital track information, track artwork or DJ logos. The touch-sensitive jog wheels are ultra-responsive, so you can perform scratch techniques just like you would on a traditional turntable with vinyl records.
The Denon Prime 4 professional DJ controller features independent zone output. This versatile feature allows DJs to send a dedicated, music playlist to a separate location. At the same time, the user can continue performing in the main room. Unique to Denon, this innovative feature lets you control the mood, volume and EQ in two independent locations. The Prime 4 controller boasts a dedicated XLR zone output with its own gain and EQ control.
With a variety of input options, the Denon Prime 4 standalone controller gives you more ways to connect your audio sources. Four input channels let you connect external media sources. Two dedicated microphone inputs and individual controls let you use two mics simultaneously. Four USB ports and one SD media slot provide quick access to music files. The Prime 4 even offers USB keyboard support.
The 10” color touchscreen makes the Denon Prime 4 extremely user friendly. The large multi-touch display lets you intuitively access music, interact with your digital library and view essential DJ parameters. Full-color waveforms and other graphics keep you informed while you’re mixing.
At the heart of the Prime 4 controller is a professional club-style mixer. It features four channel line faders, each with 3-band EQ and gain. All four inputs are assignable to the switchable line/phono inputs. A replaceable Denon DJ crossfader completes this pro-grade mixer.
An array of 16 performance pads on the Prime 4 give DJs total creative freedom. Remix whole tracks and beat juggle with hot cues, then split up bars and beats with quantize-locked, Rolls, Slicer and advanced Looping. The Prime 4 controller gives you the power to craft your sound any way you can imagine. Choose from 13 textured DJ FX, sourced directly Denon’s flagship X1800 Prime mixer.
All of these high-tech features are packaged in a rugged package. The Denon Prime 4 is designed for professional use. Its robust metal chassis and durable components are meant to deliver years of reliable performance, just as you’d expect from Denon DJ.

Denon DJ just announced the Prime 4, a groundbreaking all-in-one standalone DJ system that lets you spin with up to four decks. It plays music stored on USB thumb drives, SD cards, and even on attached hard drives. It’s got a massive 10″ touchscreen that lets you view waveforms from all four decks at once, and like the SC5000 Prime media player it has gesture controls, including gestures for dragging and dropping tracks for easy library management, track scrubbing for needle drops, and so on.

The Lowdown
Denon DJ’s Prime 4 is a groundbreaking all-in-one standalone DJ system that lets you spin with up to four decks. It is a remarkably mature, hugely powerful, immensely exciting, and great value-for-money DJ system. It has a beautiful, smooth and responsive touchscreen, plenty of controls that digital DJs have grown to love, and the ability to access various storage media including USB and a massive 1TB SATA hard drive. It’s light years ahead of any other standalone DJ system out there, and its feature set even smashes pro club systems that are triple its price point. Your move, Pioneer DJ.
Video Review
First Impressions / Setting up
On paper, the Denon DJ Prime 4 is the most powerful standalone DJ system ever made – no laptop required! DJing from USB, SD or SATA hard drive, you get four full channels of digital audio, a big touchscreen that’s smooth and responsive, and pretty much all the performance features you find on the best DJ software.
Hardware, it seems, is finally catching up with the “software plus controller” method of DJing that has been the most fun way to do this for a decade now. And it’s Denon DJ, not the current stalwart of the DJ booth Pioneer DJ, currently leading the way.
So do DJs need to take their laptops into the DJ booth at all now? Have we come full circle, back to the days where DJs simply turn up with their music and a pair of headphones and play on the gear that’s there – but this time, with all the features of software finally available to them? Does the Prime 4 mark the beginning of the end for laptop DJing?
Well let’s hold that thought right there, get stuck into our full review (now we’ve had a week or so to play with a unit), and I’ll return to answer these questions at the end. Hopefully by then you’ll have a much better idea as to whether this US$1699 unit is the right next step for you in your own DJing.
First impressions
This thing is absolutely gorgeous out of the box. It is not as wide as you might think, but a bit deeper than expected. It is finished in metal, and feels solid and professional. As well as the unit, there is a power cable (no separate transformer, which is nice; the transformer is built in to the unit), a special USB cable (more on this below), and a quick start guide.
The screen is the first thing we noticed. It’s glass-topped, and certainly doesn’t feel like a weak spot, even when it’s propped up to one of the available angles using the clip-out wire stand; however, it does stick out of the back of the unit when folded flat, and would be vulnerable to knocks in transit. The screen does, however, come with a neat, high-quality fitted cover/case to protect it.
Nonetheless, a decent flight case or fitted bag would be advisable, not only because of the screen, but because the unit is just a little bit too big to pop under your arm and walk with comfortably.
The top panel of the unit is metal, with various finishes differentiating the mixer, decks and the panels of controls above the decks. Cas cx licence key download.
Setting up
Setting up involves going to Denon DJ’s website, making an account if you don’t already have one, and downloading the software to be able to prepare your music. Once you’ve prepared a set in the software (see below) and exported some music to a USB or SD card, you turn the unit on, and plug your SD card or USB drive into the unit. Add your powered speakers and a pair of headphones, and you’re good to go.
Note that the unit will also accept up to a 1TB SATA hard drive, which you can fit into a port on its underside. That means you could easily keep your entire music collection on the Prime 4. So if you wanted to do this, you’d add a drive of your choice, and manage that drive from your laptop, using a special type of USB cable that is provided in the box.
About the software…
Hang on, isn’t this meant to be a “no laptop required” DJ unit, you may ask? Well yes, but to get files to play on it, you’re going to need to use a computer for downloading, and so it also makes sense to use that same computer to do some track preparation too – and that’s where Engine Prime comes in.
It’s a library management app, and if you’ve used Rekordbox in this mode with Pioneer gear, you’ll know the score: You can import your tracks, sort them into crates and playlists, add artwork, alter info like artist and title, analyse for musical key, add cue points and loops, even practise mixes in a rudimentary way.
When you’re done, you can export the tracks plus all that info to your removable media, ready to plug in to the Prime 4 unit.
This is not a review of the software, but in short: It’s OK, but not as good as Rekordbox – it misses dynamic playlists that populate according to your choice of rules (“all my house tunes from 1988 to 1992”, for instance) and there are none of Rekordbox’s powerful tagging features, either. Denon DJ is investing heavily in software development so hopefully some of these features are coming.
One thing the company has included, though, is compatibility with other DJ software: You can export your Rekordbox and Traktor libraries and point Engine Prime at them and it will import much of the info they carry, and integration is even tighter with Serato, with your Serato crates plus all other info such as cues visible read-only as an option right there in the file tree. This is unheard of in DJ software, and a great boost for people coming to this system from the other systems.
Exporting tracks to SD dragged on our system. If you have a big library, you may want to leave some time while you wait for that to happen. It took 10 minutes to do 150 tracks in our test. We didn’t have time to run tests with other USB drives and cards, so this isn’t definitive.
