Pioneer DJ DDJ-SR2: Compact, Club-Ready Control

The DDJ-SR2 packs professional features into a lightweight, portable controller with grab handles. Its large, low-latency jog wheels offer accurate scratch response, and needle search strips let you jump to any part of a track with one touch. Dedicated buttons give fast access to FX, hot cues, slip mode, roll, and slicer.

Harmonic Mixing With Pitch ‘n Time

Serato Pitch ‘n Time DJ is included, along with dedicated hardware controls for key functions. Key Shift changes a track’s key by a semitone without altering tempo, Key Sync automatically matches keys between tracks for harmonic mixing, and Key Reset returns to the original key. These tools let you create smooth, musical blends and creative mashups.

Setting Up the DDJ-SR2

Install Serato DJ Pro, connect the DDJ-SR2 to your computer over USB, and connect the balanced XLR master outputs to your PA. Use the booth output for a DJ monitor and the microphone input for announcements. Connect turntables or media players to the phono/line inputs to mix external sources, which works even without a computer connected.

What to Pair With the DDJ-SR2

Pair the DDJ-SR2 with professional DJ headphones, powered speakers, a laptop stand, a dynamic microphone, and a padded case. Add turntables or CDJs and the Serato DVS Expansion Pack to scratch with control vinyl or CDs.

DVS Upgrade Path

The DDJ-SR2 is ready for Serato DVS. With the Serato DVS Expansion Pack and NoiseMap control vinyl or CDs, you can connect turntables or CDJs and control Serato DJ with the feel of real records. That gives you room to grow from a controller setup into a hybrid turntable rig without replacing your hardware.

Four-Deck Mixing

Deck select buttons let you control four decks in Serato from the two-channel layout. Switch between decks to layer acapellas, loops, and sample decks over your main tracks, or keep extra tracks cued on decks 3 and 4 for quick transitions. It’s an efficient way to perform more complex sets on a compact controller.
