The Pioneer DJ DJM-S5 has been recently released. This new battle mixer for Serato DJ Pro sits between the DJM-S3 and the DJM-S7 and inherits many of the DJM-S7’s pro features.
The most distinctive features are the effect levers to trigger Serato DJ effects and the 4 performance pads per channel. These pads aren’t the same as on the more expensive mixers (they are clickable instead of velocity responsive) but for the price, that’s acceptable.
On the back, the mixer has a booth output and an aux input, and the overall build quality seems to be quite solid.
