Native Instruments have introduced
Audio 4DJ, a performance-optimized USB 2.0 audio interface
specifically designed for Traktor and other DJ software. Here's the details from their press release...
With its
versatile feature set, outstanding audio quality, extremely low latency,
and its compact and robust aluminium casing, Audio 4DJ is the ideal
centerpiece for a wide range of club and studio setups.
Based on the acclaimed Audio 8 DJ interface that is also at the heart of
Native Instruments' TRAKTOR SCRATCH DJ system, the new Audio 4DJ offers a 4-in/4-out configuration with the same pristine audio quality,
but with an even smaller footprint and at a more affordable price. Two
stereo inputs with software-switchable phono preamps allow DJs to
connect turntables, CD decks and music production gear for various live
performance and recording purposes. Two stereo outputs provide the
necessary connectivity for routing two decks into an external DJ mixer, or
outputting a separate master and cue signal when mixing in software. All
audio connections are in RCA format for straightforward interfacing with
DJ equipment.
Audio 4DJ is equipped with studio-quality 24bit/96 kHz audio
converters from Cirrus Logic that provide crystal-clear treble and rich
bass response, and features special high-gain output stages that deliver a
powerful +10dBu signal with additional headroom. Low-latency operation
down to less than 4ms enables the high degree of precision and
responsiveness that professional DJ performances rely on. Audio 4DJ
also features a ground point for turntables and an adjustable headphone
output, as well as signal level LEDs for all inputs and outputs. The
interface is completely bus-powered, making a cumbersome AC adapter
unnecessary.
Audio 4DJ comes as a full-featured DJ system due to the inclusion of
TRAKTOR LE, a compact version of Native Instruments' TRAKTOR
software that offers two decks with high-quality time-stretching, an
integrated mixer, performance effects, loop and cueing functions, and a
powerful track database. All owners of Audio 4DJ can also take
advantage of a discounted upgrade to the full-featured TRAKTOR PRO
software at any time.
Pricing and Availability:
AUDIO 4 DJ is available now for a suggested retail price of $249 / 229 ¬
at authorized dealers and in the NI Online Shop.
