The brightly illuminated, backlit LCD main playback screen displays info on any track in the catalog, showing everything from the essentials such as artist, track title, pitch, time elapsed/remaining to detailed information including file format (MP3 or WAV), genre, and track length. This display allows more extensive visualization of parameters than a conventional CD player.

PC-Based Database Creation

Databases can be created via the HDC unit or the PC application so you can create and manage database files at a gig, or on a home computer with lightning fast speed.

Search Options

The cataloging system gives you several browsing options, including search by artist, song, title, album, and genre. This system allows users to search the same way they would using an iPod or similar portable music player.

File Explorer Mode

Browse through files and directories as if using a computer. It shows you the directory structure and file names exactly as they exist on the storage device. DJs with their own organizational system can navigate it quicker than using the database.

String Search

You can search by a certain word or phrase to find tracks on your storage device, even if you're unsure of the name. When you input a keyword, it will search all artists, titles, albums, and genres, and show all matches to that keyword. For instance, searching for the word 'LOVE' might bring up (3) artists. It might also find (60) titles, (10) albums and (1) genre. You can then select the artists, titles, albums, or genres from that list.

Storage Device Selection

Take a client's request from his iPod or USB memory flash drive, plug it in, and play it right away without having to reboot the unit. With an iPod Dock and one USB ports (and support for up to 4 devices when using a USB hub), the dMIX-300 unit lets you connect and recognize multiple storage devices to access a variety of separate music databases simultaneously.

Cue Point Management

Cue points can be set like a normal CD player, so that the DJ can return to a certain time in the track just by pressing a button. Cue points may also be saved permanently to the connected storage device, allowing them to load with a track automatically.
