DDJ-SR2 Portable 2-Channel Controller for Serato DJ – Features, Specs & Review
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.
