Actually, just checked online and there are a few places in the UK have them in stock?? What is this pulse guy on about?

Who's the first to get it in the US? I'm still on Pre-Order....

Kross321, what if you've entered the twilight zone and Pioneer planned all along to have you as their sole ddj-sz test subject. The in-display jog wheels have two cameras, and the wheels themselves scanned your finger prints :o
That would be some NSA level stuff for sure!

Seriously though, I still haven't gotten word about the ddj-sz here on the west coast united states, still checking back on YouTube, and Google to see if any news is coming out on shipments going out. I hope it isn't literally end of the month but before then!

I'll have mine tomorrow!! I can't wait. I just got a surprise an email telling me that they have shipped mine and I will get it tomorrow.
I really thought Australia will be the last to get the DDJ-SZ. Just in time for a good session this weekend!!

I just noticed this from Pioneer USA's facebook page:

DDJ-SZ Launch Event @ Sam Ash Manhattan, NYC
Thursday, April 10, 2014

I am wondering if the April 10th date means the units will be shipped out closer to the April 10th date? If so, then we still have a full month to wait!

Damn that sucks.... Some were saying this week...

That can't be right. If the store I got mine from got 10 units, surely some shop in USA will have them in stock by now.

Not entire sure how much weight to put in to the date of the NYC event in reflecting the true shipment dates for all Pioneer authorized dealers.

In all actuality, it does seem possible the event could be after the first round of units are delivered.

Yes I reckon it's just the "Official" launch of the DDJ-SZ and doesn't reflect actual shipments taking place all over.

Why was US last on this....

For a change... LOL!

Even here in Canada, we have to wait for 2 months after the official release date before our local music/dj stores get the new products.

Wow that sucks - I would hate Pioneer if I preordered and had to wait 2 months post delivery just because I lived in the neighboring country. I'm wondering if some Canadians could just cross over to the US and purchase and bring it back over the border?

That's not the only thing. Aside from our GST applied on all purchases, US price still lower than ours on the original price... even after converting foreign exchange rates.

I am not whinning... I've been in the business since 2004 and already got used to it.

'Just want to let you appreciate the advantages you already have.

I was born in Canada living in the US now... GST sucks! You could always drive to NY and smuggle it over lol

That's what I always plan when travelling to US.
The thing is... even my own luggage gets occupied by my wife's shoes, LOL!

hahaha Gotta love those buffalo outlets!

Mine has arrived an hour ago. So cool.!

Lucky! Where do you live shadow?

This guy looks like hes in the US and has one.....

Hi DJ Baby Raj, I'm in Australia. It was shipped from Sydney.

Nice! I'm jealous... lol Enjoy !

I got it delivered to where I work so I wouldn't miss it. Just home now and have to make room for the SZ.

Thanks.

Nice, take lots of videos for us people who are waiting!

At the moment don't think that it's all smooth sailing. I have issues with my platter too. Especially the left deck. I have the same issue as Kros-ddj.

Just think all the guys who are still waiting for their DDJ-SZ are in better position than the ones who has them now. The platter issue is not just on a single unit. I have the same issue. I do hope Pioneer can fix this.

I can't believe that my cheap DDJ-SR has adjustable sensitivity on the platters. And the DDJ-SZ has none.

It just totally sucks that we're still waiting for Pioneer to fix this issue. If they don't fix this issue I will have no choice but to go the Department of Fair Trading and get a refund.

My advice to anyone who are planning to buy the SZ is.... wait until all issues are fixed.

Got my SZ in France on feb 27 th....
I know that 2 other people got one in France too (FB friends)

Pulse said official us release was 17 and 24 i think.

Got mine today, Brisbane Australia =)

I ordered mine will arrive Monday in Australia :) store has had stock since Wednesday

Any ideas about availability in canada? I might just order it from the states and go get it but im waiting for a flight case c'mon odyssey

Good to see some aussies in here.

Guys to anyone who has an SZ (I just got tracking on mine delivers Monday)

I need dimensions for a custom case.

Can anyone get some general measurements for me other than lxwxh I need night to highest knob and height to jog wheel if I can get feet setback dimns it would be great too

Want to kick off project today for next week delivery cause I'm hitting the road

Thanks

Okay the actual controller is 410mm (41cm)L x 870mm (87cm)W x 100mm (10cm)H

I hope that helps.

Actually the length it should be 430mm (43cm) because of the crossfader curve knob at the front and the inputs at the back of the SZ.

Shadow thank you on the right did you account for the night to the knob? And what I'd the night to the jog wheel?

Can you measure the feet and how far each is set back from the length also what is their size?

Thanks for your assistance

Hi Yaitanis,

The height allows for the jog wheel and the knobs. About the feet, there is none. Well kind of none. for the feet of the SZ it has four rectangular pads 40mm (4cm)W x 25mm (2.5cm) 3mm or 4mm (.3cm or .4cm).
The bottom of the SZ slopes down from the width of 870mm (87cm) to 800mm (80cm) and the length slopes down to 410mm (41cm) to 375mm (37.5cm). I'm measuring the length from corner to corner of the SZ. I said 430mm (43cm) before because I included the curve knob and the inputs at the back of the SZ.
The feet are 640mm (64cm) apart measuring width wise and 290mm (29cm) apart length wise. But honestly with the feet (I really should call them pads) being only 3 or 4mm thick I see no point in worrying about considering them to be added into the case/coffin you are making. I would just have a straight bottom with no indentations for the feet/pads.
If the SZ has actual feet like the Technics then maybe it's worth integrating them into the bottom of the case/coffin. But since they're just rectangular pads that are not that thick I personally won't worry about them.
Basically what you want is to have a snug fir width wise and some removable panels at the back and front of the case/coffin.

snug fit I meant. sorry for the typo.

Thank you very much!

One last Question I promise!

What is the distance If I am looking Down from the top of the unit on the side(s), what is the clearance from the ends to the first Buttons. I am mostly concerned with crushing the Pitch control (Right) and fader (bottom) but have an idea for a bracing foam to catch the edges all around the edges.

Thanks again!

So guitar center gets them monday first and regualr retialers the 24th for u.s from pulse in pioneer forum

Nice to know thanks

The distance of the pitch fader (right) from the edge of the SZ to the edge of the pitch fader knob is 20mm (2cm) and it's about 32mm (3.2cm) from the edge of the SZ to the middle of the knob (width of the knob is about 17mm (1.7cm)
The crossfader is 12mm (1.2cm) from the edge of the SZ to the edge of the crossfader knob and it's 24mm (2.4cm) from the edge of the SZ to middle of the crossfader knob (width of the knob is 20mm (2cm).

As always thank you shadow! Shoot me your look for me on Facebook at DJphilthethrill and in a week I'll post a picture of the case.

I will do that thanks.
