Warm Sound at Any Venue
A 32-bit D/A convertor, made by ESS Technologies, delivers incredibly low noise and distortion even at super-high volumes. Additionally the 96 kHz/24-bit soundcard, 64-bit floating point mixing processing, enhanced dithering technology and a low-jitter clock combine to provide an accurate, natural analogue sound.
Connect to Front of House
The AES/EBU digital output lets you connect directly to the PA, regardless of its positioning. Together with the word clock input it ensures high-grade digital audio signal transmission to front of house for precise synchronization and the best possible sound quality.
13-Inch Foldout Touchscreen
Use multicolored touch display to browse and select tracks from up to 4 CDJs connected via Pro DJ Link. Choose between a horizontal multi-wave view or a vertical view that also includes an RMS meter so you can monitor and control the volume for each channel.
5-Port LAN Hub
A 5-port LAN hub means you can connect up to 5 players or laptops to the DJM-TOUR1. Via Pro DJ Link you can share one source across up to 4 players – and if you're using rekordbox dj you get access to a host of advanced performance features on top.
Easy B2B Cueing
2 independent headphone sections let you and another DJ cue tracks at the same time without hearing each other's input. Each headphone also has its own volume control for ease and comfort.
Festival-proof design
The DJM-TOUR1's rigid design comes with isolator feet for stability on any surface and reinforced sides. What's more, the LAN ports have NEUTRIK etherCON® connectors with a latch lock, so compatible cables will stay in place whatever vibrations and knocks are thrown at them.
Screen adjustments
Tilt the screen to suit your preference, adjust the lighting or attach the display shad to protect the sun's glare when you're playing outside.
Built-in KUVO Gateway
The DJM-TOUR1 is Pioneer’s first mixer to have a KUVO Gateway on board so you can easily connect to KUVO and broadcast your set information, in real time, to fans around the world.

The Pioneer DJ DDJ-RR feels slightly lighter than the DDJ-SR, though both have metal faceplates. It’s got a new black colour scheme that’s consistent with other DDJ-R series controllers. The rest of the enclosure is hard plastic, as is the case with most Pioneer DJ gear.
It ships with a power brick which increases the brightness of the lights, but you can power it with just a USB cable. You can also use it as a standalone mixer for connecting line / phono level devices to it like CDJs and turntables if you want to spin with actual CDs and vinyl.
There are two Needle Search touchstrips here and controls for Rekordbox DJ’s sequencer, which we’ll get to in a minute. The pads are also backlit RGB now, as is the case with more recent controllers.
Jogwheels
The centre ring has an LED that lights up in different colours depending on what you’ve got it set to, for example when you’re controlling deck one or two the ring’s blue, and when you’re controlling decks three or four it turns light blue.
I love the jogwheels on the DDJ-RR, I think these are close to perfect as far as controller jogs go, plus they integrate so tightly with Rekordbox DJ (version 4.12 at the time of this writing) that you won’t skip a beat. Kudos to Pioneer DJ for versioning Rekordbox DJ quickly too as a lot of the bugs that plagued earlier versions of the software have been squashed.
Needle Search
The DDJ-RR comes with a touchstrip for Needle Search, which lets you jump around a track directly from the controller itself: in the past you had to hold the Shift button and spin the jog to quickly move around a track, or you could bring your mouse pointer to the point that you want to jump to. It’s a minor tweak, but a welcome one especially for those who would prefer to keep their hands on the controller.
Rekordbox DJ
Just like the rest of Pioneer DJ’s DDJ-R series, the DDJ-RR works specifically with Rekordbox DJ. While mappings for Traktor and Virtual DJ 8 will probably crop up, the DDJ-RR is meant to work tightly with Rekordbox DJ, and the good news is that it works well with it. I’m particularly impressed with the Pad Effects that let you do momentary FX by using the performance pads in the Pad FX 1 setting. Rekordbox DJ has got much more stable since its first outing, and I’ve done a few gigs with it without issue.
There are also controls here for the Rekordbox DJ Sequencer, which let you record, save, and playback audio patterns that you perform via the Sampler. Once stored, you can trigger these Sampler patterns using the Sequence Call feature of the performance pads.
Rekordbox DVS
Another big addition that isn’t readily apparent here is Rekordbox DVS: both channels can be switched to control any of Rekordbox DJ’s four decks or two lines/phono sources, meaning you can hook up a pair of CDJs or turntables for timecode control.This is an important consideration for many who want to take the DVS route but found the DDJ-RX too big (let’s not even talk about the DDJ-RZ). With the DDJ-RR, you’ve got a considerably smaller, decently specified controller that you can spin timecode on at home. You can even take it to the gig and plug the venue’s CDJs / turntables if that’s what you want to do. Again, flexibility is a core strength of the DDJ-RR, and probably its biggest advantage in the market right now.
The mixer
The DDJ-RR can also function as a standalone two-channel mixer with hardware EQs and filters, useful for DJing with actual CDs and vinyl without the need for a computer.
The crossfader is loose and capable of quick cuts but it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the DDJ-SR, and this is probably my only gripe with this unit. The same goes for the channel faders – there’s just something that feels “cheap” about them, but they’re still quite good. Pioneer DJ has also removed the crossfader curve knob and reverse switch from the front of the unit, so if you want to make those adjustments you’ll have to go to the settings menu.
