OPUS-QUAD

Elegant Aesthetics: Form Meets Function

One glance at the Opus-Quad is enough to conjure a feeling of aesthetic satisfaction that might have more common ground with Herman Miller’s Eames Chair than a nightclub DJ booth, but its compelling profile is hardly just eye candy. Its slick composition includes performance-minded nuances, like the 5-degree slope of the wings or the thorough color coding made to keep track of controls over the 4-deck arrangement. A slew of I/O controls, rich FX, vivid displays, and premier technology make the Opus-Quad a controller that Sweetwater’s DJs feel is genuinely worthy of its name. From inspiring performance accommodations to high-quality AD/DA conversions and much more, this is a proper all-in-one controller that dares you to innovate.

OPUS-QUAD Walkthrough

High-class comfort and accommodating design

A 5-degree slope may not seem like a lot, but looking at the Opus-Quad’s profile, it’s clear that a little goes a long way, allowing you to fluidly move to and from the job wheels without compromising the control scheme. Its textured surface isn’t just a great contrast to the Earth-tone slits — it provides an excellent grip that maximizes comfort, with the rounded edges to painlessly rest your hands. Plus, each deck can be assigned a color, including the lights in the jog wheels and the FX cues, allowing for a streamlined visual fluency to quickly determine which decks are ready for active use. Plus, zone output management lets you control which music source plays at its desired location, all from the Opus-Quad.

Vivid displays, excellent control

The Opus-Quad’s 10.1-inch electrostatic touchscreen doesn’t just look great — its design allows for precise control and faster reaction times, ensuring you never miss a beat. Tracks can be previewed by simply touching their accompanying waveforms, while an easily toggled keyboard or the intuitive Playlist Bank system lets you quickly navigate to anything you need. Pioneer has also included a new Smart Rotary Selector: a multi-axis joystick-like controller that can move all four cardinal directions while having rotation control and click functions to navigate menus quickly and easily. With a track in the library highlighted, you can press and hold left or right to preview the beginning or middle of a track, respectively, making on-the-fly set-building a breeze.

New dimensions of sonic exploration

Between four USB ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, zone routing, and compatibility with rekordbox, Serato, and more, the Opus-Quad can simultaneously pull music from multiple sources, and the ESS Technology D/A converter ensures unrelenting sonic fidelity. Mac or PC, SSDs to wireless, this controller can easily manage every source. The newly available XY-Pad uses the touchscreen to manage multi-axis control of the controller’s various Beat FX, while per-channel Sound Color FX supplement each track with rich, performance-driven texturizing tools. Each deck also features eight Hot Cue buttons that can be quickly overwritten in real time to accommodate and inspire new approaches to your set. Moreover, each jog wheel can have its feel independently adjusted, with per-deck tempo and beat management tools always within reach.

Standalone 4-deck playback for versatile DJ performances

The OPUS-QUAD offers standalone 4-deck playback for versatile DJ performances. This means you can play 4 tracks on 4 different decks simultaneously, cue up tracks in advance, or leave a deck free for dropping requests into your set at a moment’s notice – all with just one unit. You can also assign a different color to each deck, which is matched by the jog ring illumination, so you’ll always know which deck you’re playing with.

Support for multiple media sources to match different playing styles

How do you like to play? From USB thumb drives or huge SSD drives? By plugging in your PC/Mac that’s running DJ software? By connecting via Wi-FiⓇ to wirelessly play tracks from your smartphone using rekordbox, or by using rekordbox CloudDirectPlay? You can draw from various music libraries with just 1 OPUS-QUAD and you can even pair a mobile device via BluetoothⓇ/MD wireless technology – perfect if you want to quickly drop a request into your set.

Rapid and accurate track search – even from the biggest collections

Find your tracks faster and more accurately than ever before with the freshly designed user interface with an electrostatic touch module. No matter how big your music library is, you can use the 10.1-inch touch screen to quickly search for songs via the keyboard or use Playlist Bank for quick navigation between playlists. With Touch Preview, you can even preview tracks while browsing. The new Smart Rotary Selector offers a joystick-like experience with left/right, up/down, rotation, and push control. And the other browsing controls are neatly arranged around the selector so you can scour your music collection and preview and load tracks without moving your hand.

Optimized deck configuration and new Smart Cue

Take control of the music with a slick deck layout that includes a deck display and 8 Hot Cue buttons above each full-size jog wheel. With this arrangement, you don’t need to switch your gaze when manipulating tracks or checking things such as the track information, parameter, and status of each function. And with the new Smart Cue feature*, you can automatically overwrite the current cue position with the recalled Hot Cues. This makes it much quicker and more intuitive than ever before to use Hot Cues with one touch.

*To use the Smart Cue function, ‘Overwrite Current Cue with Hot Cue’ must be turned on in the Utility setting in advance.

High-quality pleasant sound that enhances the audience’s experience

Designed to meet the needs of the increasingly diverse DJ scene, the OPUS-QUAD produces high-quality sound that’s comfortable to listen to for long periods of time. The configuration of the unit eliminates transmission loss and AD-DA conversion loss and it’s loaded with a high-quality 32-bit D/A converter from ESS Technology. As a result, wherever you play on the OPUS-QUAD, the entire venue is gently enveloped by a comfortable sound that enhances the spatial experience.

Easy-to-use professional effects

The evolved effects on the OPUS-QUAD make it easy to add texture and tension to the music so you can hype up the crowd and personalize your sound with Beat FX. The XY-Pad makes it easy to control features such as FX Bank and channel select, as Beat FX parameters and the cut-off frequency of the filter are controlled by movement on the X and Y-axis respectively, so you can blend both effects with a single finger. With the popular Smooth Echo feature, you can easily trigger an echo sound by moving a fader or knob you’ve pre-assigned to apply the effect when it’s turned on.

Zone output for playing different music in different spaces

Thanks to the zone output – which can output sound that’s separate from the master – you can play different music in different rooms from just 1 OPUS-QUAD. For example, you could connect a phone to the unit via Bluetooth and set a playlist of background music to play quietly in a bar area or second room where people are socializing while you mix tracks from a USB device in the main room.

rekordbox and Serato compatibility

Plug-and-play compatibility for rekordbox Performance mode and Serato DJ Pro is included with the OPUS-QUAD. You can simply plug in your PC/Mac running either application to get started – there’s no need for a license or subscription. If you use rekordbox you can also connect to the rekordbox for iOS/Android mobile app.
