Denon DJ Prime Go+: The 2-Deck Controller for On-The-Go DJs Gets a Silver Refresh
4,0 / 5,0 | 
Improved Wi-Fi and extended battery life are highlights of the Denon DJ Prime Go+, a refresh of the uber-popular two-deck portable controller that’s also got a slick new color scheme.
Denon DJ Prime Go+
Denon DJ’s original Prime Go dropped in early 2020 and immediately set the DJ world on its ear. Sitting comfortably between the worlds of the wired DJ controller and the full-on standalone, it offered a new kind of battery-powered portability for DJs who needed to be able to rock the party in all kinds of environments.
Now the popular device gets a refresh in the form of the Denon DJ Prime Go+, a new silver-hued version of the original that inhabits the statement, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
What’s New?
The new Prime Go+ replaces the original unit, upgrading the important bits. This includes the Wi-Fi, which Denon improved for better streaming, plus extending the rechargeable battery’s performance life to four hours.
“With the Prime Go+, our goal was to create a truly portable, all-in-one DJ solution tailored to modern needs,” said Jason Stout, Product Manager, Denon DJ. “Streaming services have become essential for today’s DJs, so we ensured the Prime Go+ integrates seamlessly, providing instant access to vast music libraries.”
This includes streamers like Amazon Music and Tidal, general music services essential for mobile and wedding DJs. Of course, you can also play music from your personal collection using tracks and playlists stored on an SD card or USB drive.
Functions Galore
The basic layout of the Denon DJ Prime Go+ is the same as the original, with two touch-capacitive jog wheels, dual-layer performance pads, high-resolution pitch sliders, a three-band EQ, and assignable FX. It also has a seven-inch multi-gesture touch screen with customizable views and a Day Mode for outdoor parties.
Denon DJ Prime Go+ runs Engine DJ standalone OS, which sports advanced features like an embedded sampler, onboard song analysis, Touch FX, and wireless updates via Wi-Fi.
Connectivity
Denon DJ Prime Go+ is equipped with balanced XLR main outputs, quarter-inch booth outputs, RCA main out, RCA auxiliary input, and two mic combo jack inputs. It’s also got Wi-Fi, USB connectivity for a media stick and connecting to your computer plus an SD card slot on the front of the unit. Denon has ditched the Ethernet/StagelinQ port of the original unit in favor of Bluetooth input/output.
Denon DJ Prime Go+: Price and Availability
Denon DJ Prime Go+ is now available from Thomann* for $999 / £933 / €1099.
