An extremely well-built midi controller with a four-channel mixer and dual banks for effects control.

A powerful, high quality 20-channel sound card with phono and mic pre-amps complete the unit to give a complete, all-in-one package.
A compact unit with ample controls and a fantastic sound card. The dedicated four-channel mixing section and creative solution for easy deck orientation provide a lot of allure for a more conventional DJ, with its quality construction and ability to fully midi-map to the software of your choice, the creative and long-term possibilities are limited only by the user’s imagination.
- 20-channel soundcard:
- four pairs of analog ins and outs - analog ins are unbalanced RCA, apart from the balanced mic input, analog outs are balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA on the master and the rest are unbalanced (RCA on the back and headphone on the front).
- one pair of digital ins and outs. - in and out are SPDIF (COAX RCA in and out, and optical out).
- The back panel has the bulk of the audio connects, 5-pin midi in and out and the USB.
- The audio ins of channels 3/4 (Deck 2) and 5/6 (Deck 3) include phono pre-amps for turntables, and there is also a ground stud. A direct input 1/8” jack on the back will port audio to the master outs (this bypasses the soundcard, so no volume control from the DX). This is in the event of a computer or soundcard crash. If either happens, turn all the mixer controls to minimum and press play on your MP3 player connected to the input port.
- All audio connections made to the back panel are converted to digital and fed back into the software. Remember, this is not an analogue mixer. This means that your audio device is connected to the soundcard must be used to mix internally in your software. In case you were wondering, the ‘THRU’ on the headphone cue buttons is an Itch command that is equivalent to Traktor’s ‘Audio Through’.
- The front panel has the mic input and controls: these are an XLR jack; EQ with high- and low-frequency adjustments; and the mic level. The mic is routed through audio inputs 7/8 (Deck 4) and is selectable from the rear panel. The mic signal has to be sent through the software just like all the audio inputs, the same as the connection made to Deck 4.
- The dual headphone outs are also on the front (featuring 1/8” and 1/4” jacks).
