Denon DJ's big brother to the LIVE 2! We have to say this could be the biggest step towards completely mobile DJ'ing but still delivering pro features...
This time they introduce the all new SC LIVE 4, a four-deck standalone DJ controller with 7" touchscreens, built-in speakers, and Wi-Fi connectivity. This bigger club-style layout delivers all the bells and whistles over its smaller sibling. While keeping with the theme of access to Amazon Music Unlimited.

Our Thoughts?
Let's get this out of the way. There is always going to be those "people" out there that discredit new technology. We know that. Old school DJ's will rip Amazon Music and say its not vinyl its no GOOD....
But the truth is it's great. Innovation is key to the development of music and the equipment its produced and played on. The LIVE 4 is an amazing piece of kit integration for those starting out or even those who are a regular house party DJ. The SC LIVE 4 does it all and does it all well. Performance portability powerhouse "YES". Anyone looking to grab one piece of kit rather than 7 crates of vinyl, turntables, monitors and headphones (you know who you are) this is revolutionary. Check it out in store. Innovation is good just look at your phone in your pocket and you'll know why.
