Boost your creativity with the DDJ-SX3 4-channel DJ controller for Serato DJ Pro. The DDJ-SX3 is strong yet portable with a familiar layout and lower latency jog wheels. Loaded with advanced features, this controller is ideal for professional mobile DJs performing at club nights, parties, weddings and corporate events.

Collaborate with MCs, rappers or singers by plugging in 3 different microphones at once via the 3 Mic inputs, then control EQs and apply FX to each. Connect 2 computers at the same time for easy DJ changeovers via the dual USB ports. Coming with free Pitch 'n Time DJ and Serato Flip Expansion Packs, you can stretch, mix and cut with precision.

KEY FEATURES

Enhanced Vocals
Whether you're performing with MCs, singers or guest speakers, 3 people can entertain the crowd at the same time via the 3 Mic inputs. Ensure crystal-clear speech with 3-band EQ, low-cut filter, compressor and reverb control on each. Enhance vocals with Sound Colour FX and Serato DJ Pro FX.

Dual USB Ports
Connect 2 computers at the same time for seamless DJ transitions, back-to-back performances or as a backup computer in case your laptop crashes.

Professional Interface
With a layout inherited from Pioneer's flagship Serato controllers, the DDJ-SX3 feels familiar to use. Featuring 4 inputs, connect to CDJs, analogue turntables and use as a stand-alone DJ mixer. Plug in various speakers via the XLR and RCA Master Out and TRS jack Booth Out terminal.

Performance Pads
Use the large multicoloured Performance Pads to instantly trigger 11 Serato DJ Pro features. Watch their colours and illumination change to show the selected pad mode and playing status.

Low-Latency Jog Wheels
The latency of the jog wheels has been reduced for even smoother scratching than its predecessor. Optimised for a perfect scratch response, the illuminated cue point markers with cue countdown give you effortless control without needing to look at your laptop.

Expansion Packs Enabled
Pitch 'n Time DJ and Serato Flip Expansion Packs are included. Use advanced features like Key Shift, Key Sync, Flip, Pitch Play and more to mix tracks smoothly.

Sound Colour FX
Add texture and unique sounds to your mixes using the popular Filter, Echo, Jet and Noise FX from the DJM series mixers.

Slip Mode
Keep tracks playing muted during live edits such as loop, scratch or reverse. Release the jog wheel and the track comes back at exactly the right place.

Clear audio
The mic input circuit produces clear audio without distortion to ensure crystal-clear sound even at high input levels.

Needle search
Simply touch the pad to instantly jump to a specific section of a track.

This actually a great unit BUT you must be aware of the the issues that SOME of them have. So when the SX3 was first released, they had an issue with audio drops, the platter freezing and an inability to play tracks on one or both decks. There may also be a couple other problems as I had a unit where the first and second mic inputs (on channels 3 & 4) didn't work. Now these units that had the issues were recalled by Pioneer and they were replaced with a fleet of working units. There are definitely a good amount of non-working ones still out there in the circulation. You can check by looking at the box AND the unit. The working units will have a printed black dot on the serial number tag. There are a good amount of recalled units being sold with a fake black dot. I have come across two already where the dot was definitely drawn on with a sharpie. If you have a recalled unit, get in touch with Pioneer and they will replace it for you, free of charge. If you're in Canada like me, you will need to make sure that they know you're in Canada as a lot of the call centers are for the USA. If you have a recalled unit and need it to work temporarily, try setting the platter sensitivity down to 3 or less. This worked for me and I had no problems with freezing when I did that. You can set the sensitivity with the buttons on the outside of the platters labeled '1, 3' and '2, 4' They are the buttons that allow you to change between decks 1/2/3/4. Hold shift and press 1/2/3/4 and the platter will show where your sensitivity is via light up area on the jog wheel. Set it to 3 or less and you should be okay. This is not guaranteed but it worked for me. Happy Holidays DJs.

I bought it 2 weeks ago and I will be returning it asap. It shuts down mid set multiple times. Pioneer is aware of the issues. Hopefully when I talk to then tomorrow they will fix it. Sucks. High hopes but nothing but disappointment.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
