This week, after nearly three decades as the international industry standard DJ brand Pioneer DJ outlined its directives under its new guise, AlphaTheta.
Today, the manufacturer has followed up with the release of two new products: the OMNIS-DUO portable DJ console, and the Wave-Eight 8-inch portable DJ speaker. Let’s take a closer look:

When it comes to loading tracks, there is a myriad of ways to play including SD card, USB stick, and even load tracks on mobile devices into the decks via Bluetooth or WiFI.
What’s more, the WiFi connection means you can access tracks on the cloud and you can also connect your laptop via USB-C to use rekordbox performance mode. Meanwhile, Serato DJ Lite support will follow in a future firmware update.
