Sinds vijf uur precies, mogen wij jullie de eerste fotos en details tonen van de nieuwe Numark DJ controller en mixer, genaamd de N4. We hebben het al eerder gezegd maar het is een trend (op dit moment) om downgrade (light) versies van hun top controllers te ontwikkelen en aan te bieden. Kijk maar naar Pioneer, Native Instruments, etc. De grote fabrikanten krijgen steeds meer oog voor het lager en midden segment van de DJ markt.Hieronder de details en specifiacties uit het engelstalige persbericht van onze vrienden van Numark:

FOUR DECKS. Featuring 4-decks of software control plus a built-in mixer that can be used with or without a computer, N4 is designed for DJs who want powerful capability in a lightweight, portable package. This complete DJ controller has everything DJs need to perform at their highest level: large, touch-sensitive platters, 4-decks of software control with loop and effects controls, a built-in USB audio interface and a comprehensive mixer section with EQ, and gain. N4 will come with both Serato DJ Intro software and a 4-deck version of Virtual DJ LE.

BUILT-IN MIXER. N4 is built for flexible control of virtually any music source. Its built-in DJ mixer allows DJs to mix any external source including turntables, CD players and MP3 players. DJs are able to instantly switch from controlling 4 decks of software to controlling 2 decks of software plus 2 channels of external source.

TIMECODE CAPABILITY. With the ability to use time code, N4 sets a new standard for 4-channel controllers in its class. In addition to 4-decks of MIDI software control, N4 gives DJs the ability to use their CD player or turntable to control advanced DJ software by employing turntables with time-coded vinyl or CD players with time-coded CDs.
