You are right, when artists are booked they use what they want. However when the artist leaves or you can’t book an artist for every night what is left in the booth?
Many companies have released gear/software with propaganda for their products relating to clubs. You mentioned pioneer and denon don’t forget there is also serato.
I have reached out to a few larger scale rental companies. So far, none have the Denons on hand. So, denon really needs to get some leg work in selling to both these companies and the club management groups. As someone who has say down in these meetings, I can assure you, Pioneer offers a heavy discount when you start purchasing more than ten units at a time. It really gets rid of the price comparison argument if Denon isn’t providing the same types of discounts to get their gear in the booth.
I did a lot of touring with my setups from 2018-till corona start, and a lot of djs changed from CDJ’s to Prime thanks to that. All djs in my booking agency (about 50+ djs) and couple rental companies bought the Prime set. Since corona started, I lost the contact person (possibly left the inMusic) and now all my emails, reports are hitting a brick wall… I don’t know, but person who took over is not doing anything…
I feel like I worked my ass off and got no more support from the company I was supporting and showing in the best possible way to others and investing in this my time and money.
This is indeed starting to p*ss me off…
I’ve already got the HS7s, which are nice, but always wondered about the sub and wanted a viewpoint that I could actually trust. It is now on my shopping list!!
There is talk that another big update is due for the Denon gear. I am starting to think that they are waiting for this before they allow official reviews of the gear to be released. A lot of reviewers have had the gear in their possession for months already. Hopefully Denon can get a large steady stream of units to the market sooner rather than later.
Really good to be fair. It basically covers whats in the manual but in a video format, with time frames, so you can easily navigate to where you want to be.
I think there might be changes to engine os. Right now it operates different for each model type in the prime series. I think it will be more unified or narrowed down to a prime4 type os (obviously for the prime4) and the rest of the product line will get a prime 2 type os.
