Pioneer launches new CD-free turntable

The XDJ-700 is only compatible with digital files

Pioneer have announced the launch of a new digital media player for DJing. As the successor to their XDJ-1000 model the new player expands Pioneer’s movements into the new epoch of DJing without actual records.

Users will be able to link The XDJ-700 with android and iOS devices including tablets and computers. The hardware will feature a compact design with a touchscreen for increased usability and will be compatible with Pioneer’s recently updated Rekordbox software.

The XDJ-700 will be priced at €699 (Around £525) making it one of the most affordable digital-only turntables on the market. The XDJ-700 won’t be available until December this year but you can see it in action in the video above and see pictures in the gallery below.
