I’m all for designers pushing the envelope – heaven knows there are enough matt black, sharp edged boxes – but there’s a general resistance to too much flashiness in the industry, and when I asked a non-DJ friend what he thought, he said “it looks like a toy”. Plugged in, that effect gets multiplied by a red and blue light show that makes the entire unit look like something from Back to the Future II. The gloss white, curved edges become apparent, and two back legs (that need to be unscrewed to be removed) put the entire unit at a shallow incline. From an angle, things start to get a little more space age. View it from the top, unplugged, and it’s a somewhat average looking black fascia with recognisable Pioneer stylings.
That said, ergonomic bottlenecking and the fact that it doesn’t really offer anything, except looks, that other cheaper controllers do means that it’s by no means a stand out contender for any thrones.Įrgo has a distinctive look. If you love the look of Ergo, and especially if you’re not a fan of Traktor, it’s probably a good buy.
Output Terminals: MASTER OUT x 2 (1/4 inch Jack x 1, RCA x 1), HEADPHONE MONITOR OUT x 2 (front 1/4 inch Jack, Mini Pin)ĭimensions (W x H x D): 555 x 280 x 103 mm Input Terminals: MIC x 1 (1/4 inch Jack)/AUX x 1 (RCA) Let’s see how Pioneer have managed to do it… The DDJ Ergo isn’t a budget priced controller, but it’s definitely in the realms of purchasing possibility for many first time buyers. Pioneer’s latest controller is a departure from the strategy that they’ve adopted over the past 18 months, namely of putting big ticket prices on their first forays into controller and computer based DJ gear.
