Quit lugging tons of outboard gear and get with the Prodigy for monster shows without the hassles. Order today!
Please and I do repeat PLEASE don't buy this unit. I had nothing but problems and the customer service is not that good. The effects randomly turn on which totally kills your set and sometimes the drive will drag a bit. Do yourself a favor. Hold on to what you got for a few more gigs the do what you know in your heart you should do and go and cop the Pioneer set up!!! This unit is flawed and buggy and should be discontinued!!!

Mixer section DIED mid-gig. No warning. No audio to/from any source. Out of warranty by one month. I would not recommend this for gigs, as there was no warning at all, and since the direct CD outs rely on the mixer, we couldn't use the backup mixer! Immediately pulled from my equipment schedule...

Great looking unit with tons of features, however my experience with the prodigy fx was by far the worst. Serato is said to be easily compatible with the prodigy, but that wasn't the case for me. Serato worked but it didn't sync properly with the bmp controller. Recently, during a gig my unit wouldn't even turn on! It would turn on for a spilt second and that's only if i wiggled the power cord. I only had this unit for 6 months. The Prodigy is not a reliable system, don't buy it!

I bought the B-52 Prodigy FX a little over a year ago and have had problems since the get go. When I first got it, the right side display would only show the top half of the words/numbers. The second unit the pitch control on the right side stopped working. This happened withing 90 days so the retailer did exchange both times. The third gave me problems with the power cord connection. I had to wiggle and pull the power cord to get it to turn on then hoped and prayed that it would not go off during a gig (a slight move of the unit would turn it off). It was still under warranty so I had to pay shipping to send it to manufactorer for repairs. Got it back, worked fine for a couple of months and now the right cd player skips the cd's and turns off randomly(have to tap on it a few times to get it to turn back on). And yes the one year warranty is over so I'm on my own for repairs. Great looking product, great features and effects but very unreliable. Because of this I would not recommend it to anyone.

I'm a DJ and have had the prodigy since the 1st week it came out...never had problems with it.
i believe its one of the best all-in-one DJ Workstation out there, and the scratch is good-and i come off a history of wax.
my opinion-WORTH it.
and if its giving you that disc error...just hit the eject button for about 5 secs and it will reset the side.
