The Internet’s Opinion

From 9 professional reviews and 4 owner reviews: a fair amount of evidence.

All nine professional reviews found recommend it, for true four-deck standalone play, a fast 10.1-inch touchscreen, a distinctive design and expressive effects. The recurring reservations are a price well above rival all-in-ones, no slip mode, no performance pads or sampler and no DVS; Serato support and streaming services arrived by firmware after launch.

Our take

Dex JonesWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

All nine professional reviews recommend it, for four-deck standalone play, a fast 10.1-inch touchscreen, a striking design and expressive effects. The shared reservations are a price well above rival all-in-ones, no slip mode, no performance pads or sampler and no DVS. Serato support and streaming arrived by firmware after launch, and owner evidence is thin. Buy it for mobile, bar or home four-deck sets; club and DVS DJs should look elsewhere.

What it is

Status, October 2026: current. Pioneer DJ still lists the OPUS-QUAD among its all-in-one DJ systems.

What it is

The OPUS-QUAD is a four-channel, four-deck all-in-one DJ system from Pioneer DJ, announced in March 2023 (Pioneer DJ product page). It sits beside the XDJ-RX3 and the later XDJ-AZ in the all-in-one range.

All four decks play without a computer. Music comes from USB drives or SSDs (one USB 3.2 port at the rear and two USB 2.0 ports on top), from rekordbox on a phone over Wi-Fi, from CloudDirectPlay, or from Apple Music, Beatport Streaming and TIDAL over Wi-Fi with a suitable subscription. A USB-C port connects a Mac or PC: it unlocks rekordbox Performance mode with no subscription, though not DVS, and Serato DJ Pro support arrived with a firmware update in July 2023. A LAN port carries PRO DJ LINK.

Each side has a 206 mm jog wheel and eight Hot Cue buttons, and a 10.1-inch touch screen sits in the centre. Two RCA inputs switch between line and phono for turntables or other players, and Bluetooth 4.2 brings in audio from a phone, for example to feed the separate zone output for a second room. There are two XLR/1/4-inch combo mic inputs. Outputs are Master 1 on XLR, Master 2 on RCA, a zone output on XLR, a booth output on 1/4-inch TRS, and headphones on 1/4-inch and 3.5 mm jacks.

It runs from mains power with a built-in supply, measures 925.7 x 499.7 x 142 mm and weighs 13.2 kg. The box holds the unit, a power cord and paperwork, and Pioneer DJ sells a fitted FLT-OPUSQUAD bag separately.
