Denon SC6000M PRIME Motorized DJ Media Player

The Denon DJ SC6000M PRIME motorized media player is the perfect blend of modern technology and the traditional feel of vinyl DJing. It’s a dream come true for DJs that long for a more tactile DJing experience, but also want the versatility of digital music playback and hardware performance. Fully standalone, and without the need for a DVS mode laptop, this vinyl experience is brought to life with the SC6000M PRIME. Powered by ENGINE OS, it features a 10.1″ touchscreen, Wi-Fi streaming, an internal HDD drive bay, large 8.5” jog wheel with a motorized platter. The platter is topped with real vinyl for that old-school feel. There’s also eight performance pads and sophisticated design illumination. With this comprehensive arsenal of creative tools, the SC6000M raises the bar for mainstage-ready turntablist technology. Accept no imitations, be your creative best and embrace the future with the SC6000M PRIME.

The SC6000M’s solid 8.5” aluminum motorized platter featuring a quick-release slipmat and newly designed DJ vinyl, ensures turntablists have a true, mechanical spin beneath their fingertips. The uniquely engineered, brushless DC electric motor fuses an ergonomic inset design for easy breaking with a light/heavy torque range adjustment, for fine-tuning the high- resolution platter response to a scratch DJ’s exact performance needs.

The SC6000M PRIME features a stunning, high-definition 10.1″ touchscreen with gesture support—the industry’s largest and most advanced multi-touch DJ workflow display. Navigate, search and load extensive music libraries and even edit track lists on the fly with onboard crate management. Gesture manipulate large waveforms and scrub through overviews, while visualizing essential DJ workflow info. In addition, the SC6000M can execute internal analysis of previously unanalyzed music les (including rekordbox collections, hot-cues and loops), all directly within the unit itself.

With dual output 24-bit/96kHz digital audio quality, the SC6000M supports all major compressed and uncompressed music file formats, including FLAC, ALAC and WAV. With built-in Wi-Fi and wired internet connectivity, DJs can now stream music from TIDAL, with more partnered services including Beatport, Beatsource and Soundcloud coming soon via free updates.

Nudge pitch, back-cue and scratch with the SC6000M’s 8.5″ platter, featuring improved tension adjustment for a completely personalized response. For further performance-driven feedback and customization options, the SC6000M’s radiant high-definition jog wheel display features selected track artwork or personal DJ brand graphics—plus critical information such as deck status, time duration and loop length.

The SC6000M’s on-board musical key-shift and instant match feature enables beautifully harmonic DJ sets to be performed effortlessly. Creating perfectly matched sonic textures with just the touch of a finger couldn’t be any simpler. Song/track musical keys can also be viewed in Camelot or traditional modes—whatever suits your workflow.

SC6000M PRIME features ultra-responsive tactile rubber trigger pads for liberated performance and mix capability. Chop, remix and reinterpret your music collection via standalone Hot-Cue, Loop, Roll and Slicer controls, and take your mix to an entirely new dimension. Never miss a beat thanks to sophisticated design illumination for optimal club visibility.

However your music collection is stored, the SC6000M guarantees to handle all digital music libraries and enable seamless DJ handoffs with 3 x USB and 1 x SD media inputs; even large terabyte music collections are catered for courtesy of the SC6000M’s built-in internal 2.5-inch HDD bay. Only one player in a connected system actually needs the HDD and all other network connected units will read from this source too. Once a media source is inserted, the SC6000M remembers any previously entered DJ preferences including previously performed track cue points, loop regions, playback history, preparation folders and of course any live, on-the-fly track analysis.

Taking your mix to new unchartered heights has never been simpler thanks to the SC6000M’s dual-deck playback ability. With dedicated (digital and analog) outputs for each layer, the SC6000M provides innovative tools via advanced routing capabilities. It does all this without the need for a computer.

The SC6000M PRIME brings advanced control of Serato DJ Pro. This enables touchscreen navigation and flexible hardware control of all Serato DJ Pro FX, filter and performance features

ENGINE PRIME is Denon DJ’s powerful Music Analysis and Management software that helps you organize, categorize and import your music, either fully integrated from rekordbox, iTunes, Serato and NI TRAKTOR collections (including hot cues and loop info) or via drag ‘n drop from existing music folders. This enables offline music performance attributes such as hot-cues and loop regions (both of which can be named and colored individually) to be entered manually or on-the–fly, plus beatgrid editing and track auditioning too. Your music collection is then easily and quickly exported to either USB, SD or HDD for creative standalone performance on the SC6000M PRIME.

For the ultimate setup, connect up to four SC6000M units via the 5-port LAN to Denon DJ’s X1850 technologically-advanced 4-channel digital mixer. Instantly, currently playing track tempo data is shared— for total control over the X1850’s 16 tempo- based FX—and ultra-fast music transfer across the network is enabled. In addition, via the networked SC6000M players, the X1850 mixer uses its StagelinQ connection to control AV, video and lighting effects, working seamlessly with SoundSwitch, Resolume and Timecode software.
