Incoming: Eight new tech products to check out this autumn

Everybody loves a bit of tech, right? We've been promised a tasty amount of goodies for autumn and winter in the past few months, from Pioneer and Numark to Native Instruments and Sonos. There's DJ gear, headphones, a bunch of classic remakes and more. Here's some of the stuff you'll be able to snap up soon.

Before you read any further, it'll be wise to familiarise yourself with Pioneer's Rekordbox DJ Plus Pack. Why? Because this high-end, four-channel controller (pictured above) is made to work in conjunction with it, allowing you to prepare your tracks, then get plug-and-play performance directly through your laptop. Pioneer promises a "club-quality magnetic crossfader and large jog wheels inherited from the CDJ-2000NXS", with 16 FX pads allowing multiple FX chains and a Sequencer mode that lets you "record, play and loop sample sequences on the fly". Elsewhere, there's an oscillator sampler containing four sounds - noise, sine, siren horn - and the space, jet, filter and pitch Sound Colour FX buttons. Not surprising it'll set you back about £1500, but you can get your hands on the less complex DDJ-RX for about £770.

One for the scratchers, this new, direct-drive turntable includes a quartz-controlled motor, a heavy cast-aluminium platter and an anti-skating control S-shaped tonearm in its specifications. In case you were wondering about the attraction to scratch DJs, Numark's Marketing Manager Karl Detkin said it's "the ideal turntable for demanding turntablists" that will "stand up to heavy-duty DJ use night after night" when it was announced. And if you like vinyl as much as you do the MP3, the £199 turntable allows you to transfer your wax to your computer. Keep your eyes peeled and ears open for a release date.

When it comes to multi-room, WiFi-controlled music systems, Sonos is always bang on-point. The latest, the Play:5, is another reason why it sits highly in the home-listening market, armed with six state-of-the-art digital amplifiers (each paired with six speakers to share around the house), three tweeters to gain crispy high frequencies, three mid-woofers for accurate playback (because who likes tunes sounding not exactly how they're meant to?) and bass and treble which can be personalised for respective rooms. It's a clever little thing, too, making sound made to fit each room based on acoustics through its trueplay tuning feature. And if you're going to put it in your kitchen, no worries. It's humidity resistant so it won't be damaged when you're cooking up a storm. Grab it for £429, in black or white, before the year's out.

Isn't Pioneer thoughtful? The company's latest headphones are geared towards dance music, meaning all you DJs out there have got a tasty piece of kit to add to your collection. These are out this month (October) and are armed with rare earth magnets to maximise the effect of hefty bass and sound insulation, while "a 19 µm diaphragm and copper-clad aluminium wire (CCAW) voice coil accurately reproduce kicks and snares," according to the product description by Pioneer. DJs will know too well about headphones breaking so you'll be pleased to know the headband on these is made out of stainless steel. Not only that, the right ear can be rotated by up to 60 degrees, meaning monitoring during DJ sets will be made so much simpler. At £99, you won't have to dig too deep into your pocket, either.

Probably the sexiest of the lot here (the above is a prototype), this deck's sleek and sexy silver design alone is enough to make you want to snap it up and give it pride of place in your lounge. We're still awaiting a model name since Panasonic unveiled the direct-drive Technics product at its IFA press conference, but we do know it's made out of stark aluminium, has a "coreless stator utilising twin magnets for high torque and a twin rotor that enables pinpoint speed control" and has been designed with nods to the SL-1200s and SP10s in mind. Last month, Michiko Ogawa, director of Technics, told Wired: "Turntables are a very iconic product for the Technics brand. It is important to show our sincere dedication [to that]. The turntable market is very small but it is a very important brand product." He's not wrong and, despite the Technics brand being sacked off in the early 2000s, the name is still highly regarded by analog heads. Good job Panasonic is reviving it then, hey. Head here for more pictures.

Talk about getting the tech horn. The press photos for this all-in-one controller are so crisp, sharp and, well, absolutely beautiful that it's enough to make you want to spend the £579 it'll be going for when it's out this month. But it's not just Native Instruments' eye for a seductive photograph that makes this so attractive to the non-CDJ or non-vinyl DJ. The stand-out is probably the eight colour-coded pads that work with NI's coveted Stems feature. What this means is that you can split a track into four separate parts - drums, bass, melody, vocals - and mix it as you please. Think acapellas and mashups. Plus there are remix decks, trigger loops and high-res displays to ensure you can see exactly what you're doing in the club. It's fully functioning with the recently released Reaktor 6 software, too.

We were left wondering what Roland had up its sleeve when it released a short and mysterious teaser video about its new range, based on the classic Jupiter-8, JX-3P and Juno-106 synths. That was until online shop zZounds added full details and images of the mini modules that come with an optional 25 velocity sensitive-key keyboard. Also with 16-step sequencers, the products - the JP-08, JU-06 and JX-03 - are supposedly priced at $399 and $299 respectively. These are due today (October 1), so be sure to visit the Roland website to see the official unveiling of the USB and battery-powered hardware.

You know this mixer's built by the right stuff if DJ Jazzy Jeff says it's "the best mixer I've ever seen". Not just that, the turntablist and Fresh Prince sidekick summed it up in its introduction video by claiming it's "everything that you love from every favourite mixer and more". It looks rather impressive in action, too, with Qbert, Jon1st and DMC World Champion DJ Kentaro giving it a right good go on camera, especially the cross fader that comes with three bumper pads to absorb those frantic switches. Those inclined to back-to-back sets are sorted thanks to the two sound cards as well, with plenty of pads and FX buttons for that ultimate customisation. As Pioneer loves to do, this also comes in gold. Bling, bling!
