With that being said, I'd give this deck 6 stars if I could. Build quality, function, everything is perfect & the price is right on. This is an awesome beginner deck that you can sink hundreds of hours into without feeling like you're being held back by hardware. Any serious DJ would be looking to upgrade their deck eventually to get more control, but this deck will keep a noobie going for a while, while they learn they basics and begin to progress into the intermediates of DJ-ING. Highly recommend upgrading to the full version of serato safer you've played with this for a month or two on serato intro.
Negatives: single FX knob rather than separate controls per fx. Casing is all plastic, which keeps the weight down but makes it feel somewhat flimsy.
Here is something that occurred to me right out of the box that was sort of counterintuitive. When you plug this device in for the first time after installing the drivers, the system will get assigned as your default audio device in Windows if you are using a Windows machine.. it would seem that that would be correct, but it isn't. If you start Serato in this way, what will happen is you will only see one deck available.
What you have to do is go into your sound devices, and right-click the default audio device on your computer whatever it is. Usually it's some built-in soundcard or whatever. Set that as your default audio device for both recording and play back.
When you restart Serato, this will allow Serato to take over the internal sound card on the Pioneer, and everything works perfectly.
All in all, a super simple and enjoyable controller to use and absolutely unbeatable for the price.

Das Gerät ist für Einsteiger oder für Fortgeschrittene DJs, die daheim Ihre Mixe testen wollen, ohne viel Equipment zu verwenden richtig gut.
Man hat schon einige Möglichkeiten und die Jogwheels arbeiten schon satt und präzise. Spins sind leider nicht ganz so leicht, aber als DJ bekommt man das auch hin.
Mit Serato, wofür der Controller gedacht ist, funktioniert es gut. Ich hatte hier bereits die Vollversion, was ich schon empfehlen würde.
Unter Traktor konnte ich den Controller noch nicht zum Laufen bewegen, trotz heruntergeladenem Mapping.
Ob nun Serato oder Traktor muss man sich halt vorher überlegen. Beide haben ihre Vorteile. Da ich beide verwende, lässt sich das ganz gut vergleichen. Mit diesem Controller und Serato lässt sich das old School Beatmatching allerdings gut erlernen - Üben, was ich für jeden DJ, egal welcher Couleur, als wichtig erachte.
Machst Spass der kleine ;-) Zu einem guten Preis und dann noch ein Pioneer Cotriller ;-)
Sono molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto che ho fatto di questo prodotto, perché è molto comodo da portare, non pesa tanto, il materiale (plastica) è di ottima fattura, i 2 dischi sono touch sopra, si muovono fluidamente, i pulsanti in basso sono in gomma anch'essa di ottima fattura e abbastanza duri, che dire... un'ottima consolle per chi vuole iniziare a fare il DJ. Ultimo appunto... per quanto riguarda il programma Serato INTRO (da scaricare nel sito ufficiale); io l'ho scaricato ed ho collegato il cavo usb al computer, ora non so se è il motivo che ho Windows 10, ma non mi appare l'interfaccia dei due dischi quando collego il cavo USB, con il programma serato intro originale... MA per chiunque abbia questo problema basta scaricarsi Virtual DJ e funziona lo stesso ;D (la cosa che mi ha dato fastidio è che nelle istruzioni che c'è scritto "copatibile per Windows 7,8.1/8 e per Mac (OS X) e sotto nei commenti dicono, che il programma è compatibile per Windows 10, ma non mi va)

My close friend owns the Pioneer SR and i was worried the SB2 would be horrible in comparison to my experience using his board, but i wasnt about to spend 800$+tax on something i would only use in my bedroom, so the SB2 it was.. And man, was it ever..
First thing that stood out was the build quality and look of the board. It looks and feels both professional and solid. The knobs are smooth and secure, the faders and volume controls are wonderful to use, and the decks are responsive and do exactly what you would expect. The rubber performance pads under each deck respond just as good, if not better than i would have ever expected. Combine this with Serato DJ Intro or the full Serato software package and youll be up and running in about 3 minutes! I find myself spending hours playing with this board every day and loving the board more and more.
There are a few cons with this board however.. The pitch sliders are tiny, and they increment in 0.06 or 0.08 amounts or something, so often youll find yourself beatmatching something at 128.00 with another song at 127.95 or similar. Its not a huge deal, and im sure there are settings within Serato to adjust the incremental jumps of the pitch faders, but even so theyre not fantastic and the resolution of the faders are lower than i had hoped.
Another issue i have found is only having 4 cue points. Im not sure if there is a way to access the full 8 points you normally have, but i havent figured a way to do that quite yet. This can be a nuissance, but you can work around it!
Lastly, the outputs on the board are very limited, with it only providing you 2 rca out ports for L and R.. I had to do a bit of voodoo magic to get all of my gear hooked up together. But once you do you will have practically zero issues!
All in all, those are the ONLY issues ive experienced with this board. Its perfect for the bedroom/starter DJ and allows plenty of room to grow into. If youre still hard into DJing after 6 months, you may choose to upgrade to an SR or something from Numark/Denon. Up until that point, this controller will be perfect!
