The Internet’s Opinion

From 6 professional reviews and 1 owner review: a fair amount of evidence.

All six professional reviews found recommend it for the MAG FOUR faders with front-panel crossfader tension, the steel build, the sound and a simpler layout than the Seventy-Two; the repeated reservation is a leaner feature set than the Seventy-Two or Pioneer's DJM-S7 and DJM-S11. Owner evidence is thin: Thomann no longer lists it and Guitar Center holds two reviews.

Our take

Rory TassellWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

All six professional reviews found recommend it, for the MAG FOUR faders with front-panel crossfader tension, the steel build, the sound and a simpler layout than the Seventy-Two. The reservation is a leaner feature set than the Seventy-Two or Pioneer's DJM-S7 and DJM-S11. Owner evidence is thin: one usable Guitar Center review, and Thomann no longer lists it. Buy it for Serato scratch sets on turntables or Twelves; look elsewhere for a touchscreen.

What it is

Status, October 2026: current. Rane still lists the Seventy among its mixers.

What it is

The Seventy is a two-channel battle mixer for Serato DJ Pro from Rane, announced in January 2020 and on sale from the second quarter of that year. Rane says it shares components with its larger Seventy-Two in a more focused layout.

Connected to a Mac or Windows laptop, it unlocks Serato DJ Pro and Serato DVS, and the box includes two Serato NoiseMap control records, two control CDs, a Pitch 'n Time download card, two USB cables and the IEC power cable. VirtualDJ needs a paid licence. Two USB-B ports let two laptops connect at once for changeovers, and two USB-A ports take a controller for each deck, such as Rane's Twelve. The 24-bit/48 kHz converters are by AKM.

All three faders, two channel faders and the crossfader, are contactless MAG FOUR units with reverse, contour and cut-in adjustment, and a knob on the front panel sets crossfader tension without opening the mixer. Each channel has a three-band EQ with full kill. Two paddles engage six internal Flex FX with a dual post-fader design, and dedicated controls also run Serato's effects. Sixteen velocity-sensitive Akai Professional MPC pads, eight per deck, cover modes including Hot Cues, Saved Loops, Sampler, Pitch 'n Time, Scratch Bank and Roll, with an independent mode on each side. A 1.6-inch OLED display sits in the centre.

Inputs are two switchable CD/phono pairs and two aux pairs on RCA, an RCA session input, two XLR/TRS combo mic or line inputs and a footswitch jack. Outputs are a main on XLR, a booth on 1/4-inch TRS, an RCA session output and headphones on 1/4-inch and 3.5 mm jacks. It measures 285 x 445 x 105 mm and weighs 5.6 kg.
