Denon DJ are back again! This time they introduce the all new SC LIVE 2, a two-deck standalone DJ controller with 7" touchscreens, built-in speakers, and Wi-Fi connectivity. This club-style dj controller gives supreme creative freedom and access to millions of tracks through Amazon Music Unlimited.
Game changer? Let's find out.
With its exclusive specialized chipset, the Denon DJ SC LIVE 2 DJ controllers were designed to stream Amazon Music Unlimited's music taking the DJ world in to a stream like future. To be honest we all knew it was coming... The controllers were coded and designed with Amazon Music in mind, giving them access to tens of millions of HD-quality songs to meet the needs of every dj out there.
Engine DJ OS lives on stronger than ever under the hood of the new LIVE 2. The same OS thats been quietly pushing live DJ performaces across the globe to new heights. Intuitively placing performance essentials in this area allows for evocative mixes and live shows.
The SC LIVE 2 makes it possible for DJs to venture out of their comfort zone as the portable 2-deck mixer gives control of all the bigger Prime brothers. The mixer's wireless access makes it possible to work with ease from anywhere in the room. This combination of devices' performance and scope of musical versatility allows for unique laptop-free stage performances.
The LIVE 2 brings 4 Performance Pads on each deck to let you get creative mixing. Choose Hot Cue, Roll, Auto Loop, or Manual Loop from the 4 Hot Cue Pad mode buttons toward the front of each Performance Pad. Press the Bank button to access the 4 Performance Pad card slots 5-8, allowing for 8 Performance Pads on each deck for each Pad Mode option. Can't argue with that for flexibility.
The onboard effects include 4 Sweep FX which utilize a dedicated knob on each channel to expressively control FX and Filter combinations. The 13 BPM FX options can be customized for extra sonic satisfaction using the FX control section that includes a Channel Assignment switch, Time/Parameter control, FX level encoder, and illuminated engagement button.
Our Thoughts?
It's always hard for some to get behind manufacturers when a new piece of kit gets released that is driving DJ'ing in a new direction. Is Amazon Music the best direction to take it, time will tell. We are excited for both the LIVE 2 and LIVE 4 because its bringing new eyes to DJ'ing and making it easier for those to get started. Not everyone is a veteran DJ with 20,000 vinyl and 400,000 mp3s on hand. Which puts Denon on the right track with this line. The OS is amazing and only just starting to show its full potential. Watch out competitors... This ones bringing new eyes to it and for good reason.
