Numark's iDJ2 Lets You Mix Tracks from the Same iPod



Numark's iDJ2, a mixing table that allows you to mix up tracks from the same iPod is to be launched next month. We touched on the prototype earlier this year, which got a thumbs-up-with-reservations from DJ Scott Paradis, but this is the final version. Key features, and price, below.



Large backlit, display with revolutionary user interface

Key lock support for maintaining key while tempo shifting

Integrated iPod slot with adjustable mount

Seamless looping, pitch control, scratching capability via jog wheels

Visual Track Profiles to skip through phrases

Facilitates mixing with three or more USB Hard Drives or Apple iPods with USB hub

USB ports to plug in iPods, thumb drives and hard drives

Play music off two iPods simultaneously, including two songs off same iPod

Formats supported: MP3, WAV and AAC (unprotected)

Pitch control with range up to +25% and down to 100%

Beatkeeper™ technology with TAP override function

Search ability via two large jog wheels

USB Keyboard support

3-band EQ with gain control on both channels

Dedicated microphone input with tone and level control

Phono/line inputs on both channels for adding additional devices

Expect to pay around $600 for this when it's out next month. It remains for Scott (he posts comments here under the name Diggabyte) to tell us whether Numark's tweaks make it worth forking out for.
