The Pioneer DDJ-SR2 packs professional control into a lightweight frame, made for DJs who work with Serato DJ. It offers dedicated key controls, professional-grade performance pads, and multiple connectivity options — all in a portable design that makes it perfect for gigs and on-the-go performances.

Key Features of the DDJ-SR2

The large, multicolour RGB performance pads let you trigger Hot Cues, Roll, and Sampler functions with ease. Pad colours change according to the selected mode and play status, giving clear visual feedback.

5. Large Jog Wheels
Despite its compact size, the DDJ-SR2 includes low-latency, large jog wheels for accurate scratching and responsive control.
