The Denon DJ SC6000 Prime Media Player is the flagship of the Prime range. The Prime series of players makes use of an advanced multi-core processor to deliver features that were previously only possible when using a Mac or PC. The powerful architecture of the SC6000 allows it to run the latest Engine OS and provides exciting opportunities for the evolution of the player and in turn the DJ booth.

Denon DJ have included a 10.1-inch HD touchscreen to provide both control and visual feedback. The Prime series has always made great use of the touchscreen as part of the Engine workflow and the SC6000 is no exception. The large screen is especially useful for dual layer mode playback and it gives Denon DJ the capability to develop new features without the need to change the hardware. When you combine the touchscreen with the powerful processing power on board, the SC6000 is a professional DJ product which can evolve over time.

The SC6000 has built-in WIFI and wired internet connectivity to power music streaming. From launch the player supports streaming from Tidal with more services to be added over time. Streaming truly is the next phase in the evolution of DJ’ing – our marketplace is lagging behind the rest of the world when it comes to the consumption of music, with physical sales and even downloads falling considerably. The streaming capability can also get you out of a jam if you’re asked for a track that isn’t part of your collection – whether you’re in a DJ booth at a club or you’re playing at a wedding or party, simply search for the track via the streaming service and play to keep the crowd happy!

Accessing your library is simple, either connect a USB drive or drag and drop tracks from your computer onto the internal HDD after you’ve installed one that is suitable for your needs. The SATA drive bay can handle both SSD and traditional drives giving you plenty of drive options that should be able to handle even the largest collections of music.

Denon DJ have continued the long-standing relationship with Serato DJ and the SC6000 can be used as a Serato DJ Pro controller in a future update. This is great news, as the improved jog-wheel design is not only larger (at 8.5-inches) but it also feels much better. Interestingly, Denon DJ have achieved a greater platter size without needing to sacrifice space for other controls – this has been achieved by using a steeper angle between the base of the jog and the top. Another improved feature is the rubber performance pads which are also aesthetically pleasing.

With all this considered, the Denon DJ SC6000 Prime is an exciting addition to the range. The player demonstrates Denon DJ’s commitment to producing booth ready product that innovates and evolves the craft of the DJ. Stock is expected in February 2020 so be sure to pre-order your deck to avoid disappointment.
