🎧 RANE SYSTEM ONE — Redefining DJ Performance in 2026


The DJ world just turned a new page. With the release of the RANE SYSTEM ONE, RANE DJ has delivered what many are calling the first true motorized standalone DJ system — a complete performance rig that eliminates the need for a laptop while delivering the tactile control and advanced tools professional DJs crave.


🚀 A New Era of Standalone DJ Hardware


Gone are the days of lugging a laptop into every gig. The System One combines RANE’s signature build quality with cutting-edge tech — all in a standalone unit that runs Engine DJ OS right out of the box.

That means DJs can spin directly from USB drives, SD cards, internal storage, and even streaming services like Apple Music, TIDAL, Beatport, Beatsource, and SoundCloud GO+, all via built-in Wi-Fi.

Transform your DJ experience with a completely standalone system that allows for smooth, laptop-free performances, equipped with motorized platters and touch-activated FX for unparalleled creative control.

No clutter. No compromises. Just a workflow that moves as fast as you do.

But the real standout? The motorized 7.2-inch aluminum platters. These aren’t

touch-sensitive jog wheels — they’re real motorized decks that mimic the feel and control of vinyl. For turntablists and scratch DJs, this is a genuine game-changer.


🧠 Engine DJ Integration & OmniSource Power


At the heart of the System One is RANE’s OmniSource architecture — a unified system that lets you mix seamlessly between:

  • Local media (USB, SD, internal drive)

  • Cloud libraries and streaming services

  • DJ software sources (Serato DJ Pro and Algoriddim djay support coming soon)

This means you can build playlists across platforms and jump between them instantly, without losing your flow.


🎛️ Professional Performance Tools


The System One isn’t just about playback — it’s about expression.

🔥 Stems & Creative Control

With dedicated Instant Acapella and Instant Instrumental buttons, plus a Stems pad mode, DJs can isolate elements of a track for live remixing and mashups. On-device Stems rendering is expected in a firmware update in early 2026, expanding creative possibilities even further.


🎚️ FX & Mixer Features


Boasting 25+ onboard FX, including paddle-activated effects, touchscreen FX, fader FX, and sweep FX, the System One delivers deep performance options without software reliance.

The mixer section features RANE’s MAG FOUR crossfader, Precision Feel channel faders with adjustable tension, and robust connectivity — from XLR and RCA outputs to multiple mic inputs with EQ and effects.

📱 7-Inch HD Touchscreen


A high-resolution 7-inch touchscreen provides a central hub for browsing libraries, displaying RGB waveforms, launching playlists, controlling effects, and managing performance settings — all without a computer.


🔌 Connectivity & Flexibility


Beyond media sources and software integrations, the System One includes:

  • Built-in Wi-Fi for streaming

  • Bluetooth audio input and output

  • Dedicated auxiliary input with front-panel control

  • Support for smart lighting via SoundSwitch

  • Multiple USB ports and an SD card slot

This makes it equally at home in clubs, mobile rigs, home studios, livestream setups, and radio environments.
