Pioneer OPUS QUAD [Review]

It’s proper LOVE or HATE this one 😂

Just a week after the announcement of their DJM-A9 mixer, Pioneer DJ keeps ups the momentum with the official announce of the OPUS-QUAD today. The Opus-Quad is the brand’s first all-in-one system to feature standalone 4-deck playback. It comes with an appeal to design, too – the hardware is fan shaped with a sloping top plate. Sitting at a price point of £2,899 it’s expected to be available any time now!

General feedback is mixed –
