Meant as an affordable way to access Pioneer’s ecosystem, the DDJ-400 has a scheme based on Pioneer’s pro CDJ players and DJM mixers.
Not surprisingly, Pioneer’s DDJ-400 is almost the exact size and weight as the SB3, but it has a much different layout and only has 2-deck control. Besides that it follows most of the conventions of a 2-channel, 4-deck Serato controller. The DJ-202, Roland’s little sibling to the mighty DJ-808, weighs about the same as the SB3, and is similar in size but adds more than an inch in vertical length to accommodate its oversize jog wheels. The 2.3-by-19.1-by-10.7-inch/4.6 pound SB3 is easy to schlep around in a modest-size DJ bag or even some civilian backpacks.
If you’re in the market for a bargain like that, you may think it’s a done deal. The extremely popular 2-channel, 4-deck Pioneer DDJ-SB3 ($249) for Serato finds that rare ground where a budget-priced all-in-one controller serves high-level DJs’ needs rather than feeling like just a toy. Among these little companions, one currently stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Two Channel DJ ControllersĬompact and inexpensive 2-channel DJ controllers serve as most people’s entry point into digital DJing, as well as trusty portable systems for many experienced performers. In this comparative review, DJTT staff writer Markkus Rovito guides budget-minded DJs through their wealth of options under $300. But is it the be all and end all? Both the Roland DJ-202 (for Serato) and the Pioneer DJ DDJ-400 (for Rekordbox DJ) place different creative possibilities front-and-center for DJs who want to make a big impact on dance floors without putting a big dent in their bank accounts. Pioneer DJ’s DDJ-SB3 rules the roost as an affordable 2-channel DJ controller.
