Denon Have Released the World’s First Standalone 4 Channel DJ System

Yep, you heard right – Denon have just announced the Prime 4 which is the first 4 channel DJ System that runs completely stand-alone – no need for a laptop running DJ software. This is set to come as a surprise to many, but sure to put a smile on the faces of DJs around the world who’ve long been asking for 4-channel standalone DJ units.

The Prime 4 will have four decks of playing audio on the built-in software and features a 10-inch touch display screen located in the centre of the console. Here’s what we know so far.
