Smooth Transition: Meet the DDJ-SX3 - Upgraded Performance DJ Controller for Serato DJ Pro with Expanded Connectivity
We've upgraded one of our popular DJ controllers to create the 4-channel
DDJ-SX3. Designed for dedicated use with Serato DJ Pro (previously known
as Serato DJ), the features and expanded connectivity of the new
controller enable you to make smooth transitions between DJs, guest
speakers, musical genres and individual tracks. With a familiar layout
and a high-quality casing, the DDJ-SX3 improves on the DDJ-SX2, which
earned a strong reputation with a wide range of people including
professional mobile DJs.
The new controller's intuitive interface and professional features let
you bring fresh creativity to your performances at all kinds of gigs,
from club nights and parties to weddings and corporate events. It also
offers expanded connectivity to give you greater flexibility when you're
juggling DJs, MCs and guest speakers. Changeovers are now seamless, even
when the DJ playing before you uses a different laptop, as you can each
plug into one of the dual USB ports at the same time.1
Thanks to the dedicated Mic input terminal on the front of the DDJ-SX3,
you can talk to the crowd without needing to occupy any of the four
mixer channels. And with twin Mic inputs on the rear of the controller,
you can keep hold of one Mic while another two are out on the floor,
without interrupting your mix. Control the level, tweak EQs and apply FX
to all three Mics independently. Spice up your sets with the four
popular Sound Color FX and use the Key Shift, Key Sync and Pitch Play
features to effortlessly mix tracks harmonically and create live remixes.
The DDJ-SX3 will be available from early June 2018 at an MAP of $999.

KEY FEATURES OF THE DDJ-SX3
1. Three Mic inputs, plus Mic FX A
dedicated Mic input and level control knob on the front panel of the
DDJ-SX3 comes in addition to the popular twin Mic inputs inherited from
the DDJ-SX2, which are found on the rear panel. You can control the
level, EQ and low-cut filter, and add reverb and compressor to each -
enabling you to tweak the sound to suit the venue and ensure clear
speech and vocals. You can also enhance performances by applying Sound
Color FX such as Echo, plus Serato DJ Pro FX, to the two Mics plugged
into the rear panel.
2. Dual USB ports Connect
two computers running Serato DJ Pro at the same time for seamless DJ
transitions or back-to-back performances. Or connect a backup computer
in case your laptop crashes.
3. Sound Color FX Add
texture and unique sounds to your mixes using the popular Filter, Echo,
Jet and Noise FX.
4. Clear visual design maximising Serato
DJ Pro features The DDJ-SX3 inherits the interface
design of our professional hardware, so you can intuitively use all its
features.

harmonically mix tracks. Adjust the key of tracks by semitone with Key
Shift, and sync the keys of tracks during mixes with Key Sync. Pitch
Play lets you trigger your Hot Cues in a range of different keys and
assign them to the controller's Performance Pads so you can play them
like a keyboard.

inputs/outputs The DDJ-SX3 has four external input
terminals for multi players, turntables, DJ controllers and more.

terminals and the TRS jack booth out terminal. You can also use the

mixer section.
