I know I’ll be trading in my Rane one for the mk2 for sure.
Where’s the Denon gear?

Where’s the Denon gear?
Denon’s current lineup. Only 3 pieces of gear.
Prime 4+, Prime go+ and Sc live 4
All the rest is discontinued.
Some unannounced ones that Serato are currently developing too.
Gotta give credit to Mojaxx for just straight up asking them about the Serato relationship. Many others wouldn’t.
This tends to reinforce the rumors that Denon Dj is now focusing on the mobile DJ market and abandoning club/festival oriented units such as standalone players/mixers.
The only units listed here are clearly oriented towards mobile DJs.
But let’s wait and see what will really happen
I really hope they won’t move in that direction! DenonDJ is so close to becoming the next club standard in 2025. All they need is a more reliable mixer with high-quality, easily replaceable components and a revised SC6000M with a more powerful processor/NPU. Maybe some more love and overhaulin’ of Engine DJ Software too, and they’re all set!
I already suspected something like this when the prices at Thomann were lowered in December and the units appeared to be sold out elsewhere. However, I had assumed that the successors would be presented at Namm.
Booth space must’ve been tight. Much more ergonomical to bring out the fun all-in-one kit to give passers by a taste of the Engine ecosystem
The Rane rep did say this: “…we have more products in development than ever before, so we’re gonna open up the flood gates, this is the first of many many products coming out from Rane, from Denon DJ, from Numark as well…” (6:35). So maybe the JP22 “leak” mentioned earlier is not fake.
One thing is for sure, if the sc6000/M, LC6000 and X1850 players were still considered internally as part of the range, they would have been exhibited in one way or another, especially since they are supposed to be considered their flagship.
And the flagship being considered a showcase of a company’s technological know-how.
Have you seen Pioneer/AT, the number of models exhibited on their stands? Their entire range is there.
If SC6000/M, LC6000 & X1850 are not there, it is because they are abandoned or about to be. This is certainly not a good sign for the separate players at Denon DJ.
If anyone wants to see the Akai MPC Creative Lounge stuff (Roger Linn, Jimmy Jam etc), this guy has some basic footage…
I mean why else would there be zero stock available in the market?
There may still be a number of units in stock to be sold in InMusic warehouses, at national distributors, or at a few local resellers.
But nothing seems to guarantee at this stage that these models will continue to be part of the active catalog of InMusic products, or even that they will be replaced by new models once the last units have been sold.
There are still more and more signals that go in this direction, total absence of these units at Namm 2025, many rumors circulating in the industry, and then when was the last Denon DJ post on the company’s social networks that you saw that highlighted these units? InMusic seems to have completely abandoned all communication or marketing around these models for a while now.
Apart from posts about updates, all communication is based around AIOs these days.
There are just as many rumours floating around about new ones coming to the market as there are about them being withdrawn.
Which says more about rumours than it does anything else.
BTW STU-C, you spelled rumors wrong.
I would like to think of it as more than rumours. If my retailer tells me that certain products are no longer available then those products are no longer available with 100% accuracy.
Now technically Denon is still updating their legacy prime products so they are not exactly eol but the manufacturing of those products has ceased.
So far no news on anything new from Denon.
We already know retailers can be somewhat loose with the truth. You only have to look at the Reloop Flux saga for proof of that.
