Numark's ground-breaking iDJ is specifically designed to provide a simple
and inviting "plug and play" approach to becoming a DJ. In addition to being an
easy-to-use DJ Mixer, the iDJ also works as a basic playback device and dual
charging/docking station.
Technical specifications include large navigation controls, lighted console,
3-band equalizer, and phono, line and USB inputs for maximum external
connectivity. This full-featured mixer with dual iPod docking stations
incorporates a microphone input and a headphone output to complete the mixing
experience -- also a perfect tool for creating Podcasts on the fly.
Consumer electronics retailers can now order this new technology, and it
will be available to the public in October 2005. According to Numark's CEO,
Jack O'Donnell, "We couldn't be more excited to bring the art of DJing to the
consumer market. Since almost everyone carries an iPod in their pocket, the new
iDJ makes it easy to use their iPod as professional DJ gear."
Mr. O'Donnell continued, "For college students and other iPod enthusiasts,
this compact mixing system is a natural extension of the iPod platform that
makes enjoying music with others that much easier."
