Numark Readies iDJ2 For Premier Next Month
Numark is set to update their iPod mixer with the iDJ2. The updated mixer, due next month, is the only iPod console that provides full control of your music with real–time scratching via two jog wheels, a color screen and Numark’s exclusive crate management software. The iDJ2 features a new iPod docking system that allows users to play and mix two songs simultaneously from a single iPod without the need of a computer. Users can also hook up multiple mass storage devices including additional iPods, thumb drives, and external USB hard drives through rear panel USB ports. In addition to USB connectivity, the iDJ2 comes complete with line inputs for audio sources including a microphone, CD players and turntables. And the Keylock attribute insures that DJs can easily change tempo without affecting pitch.
The iDJ2 contains professional DJ features like balanced outputs, pitch control, key lock, seamless looping, and full cueing. DJs can easily manage their music library using the iDJ2’s highly intuitive graphic interface and the full-color LCD screen offers visual track–profiling.
