What’s new with the RX3
Building on the legacy of the RX series, the RX3 features a variety of new features and upgrades, aiming to expand your tools to create game-changing live sets and performances. The brand new 10.1-inch touchscreen with a dramatically improved resolution and a smoother visual display at 30 FPS.

Previewing your songs has never been so easy thanks to the introduction of Touch Preview. This allows you to instantly audition songs. You can even separate and listen to the sound of the music being played / monitored via the LINK CUE section of the mixer. Switch between multiple playlists using Playlist Bank, allowing you to switch between up to four playlists. Support for 3-band waveforms is also included with three separate colours indicating the volume of each frequency band. Switching to Pad Status Display, you can visually monitor your pad functions for added accuracy when performing.
The Beat FX and Sound Colour FX have also been improved, now offering 14 Beat FX and 12 Sound Colour FX. With the club-standard layout combined with the newly introduced Beat FX Bank and X-Pad, your can take your performances to the next level.
Advanced performance tools
The Beat FX Bank and X-Pad allow you to sync your four most favourite effects to the new Beat FX Bank so you can turn them on with a single touch at any time. A world’s first on an all-in-one controller, the X-Pad has been utilised within the touchscreen, allowing you to control complex effects by sweeping your finger.
For the more important moments in your performance, you can use the Countdown Timer. For example, should you want a guest vocalist to join you halfway through your set you can set the timer and cue up everything to make a smooth transition. If you need to leave the DJ booth, you can use Repeat mode to play a playlist or track on repeat while you’re absent. This is also useful for situations like sound checks, stopping you from having to go back and forth between the booth.
The audio quality has also seen a significant improvement, allowing you to play for longer without listening fatigue. The newly designed circuitry provides a natural sound whilst eliminating unwanted noise. The audio circuitry has been fine-tuned has to create a powerful low-end response and expressive mid-high frequencies.

Up to eight hot cues can be set up on each deck so you can get extra creative with mashups. The RX3 also features significantly lower loading times for your hot cues, compared to the RX2.
Precision jogwheels with built-in display
At the heart of the XDJ-RX3 are precision jogwheels with a built-in colour display. These accurate jogwheels are perfect for mixing and scratching. The jogwheel display allows you to see song artwork as well as access to tools for more accurate scratch performances.
