Numark Mixdeck Quad Announced

The Mixdeck Quad is supplied with 2-deck Traktor LE software in Europe and 4-deck VirtualDJ software in North and South America. As well as digital files from computer, the Mixdeck Quad can play tracks from CD, MP3 CD, flash drives and also from iPad, via apps such as Djay from Algoriddim. A built-in USB / MIDI audio interface provides software control and audio streaming.
Mixdeck Quad comes with a set of beat-sync and pitch controls to aid with beat matching and harmonic mixing. On loading a track, the unit automatically analyses the BPM and displays this on screen. There is also a facility for manual Tap BPM entry. Pitch control ranges are ±6%, 12%, 25% and 100%. A key lock function holds the key of a track while the BPM is varied.
The mixer section is a fully functioning 4-channel mixer, with each channel having gain control and 3-band EQ / rotary kills (+ 12 dB / -∞). The channels can be connected to incoming audio from the onboard players, computer or external sources such as turntables, CD decks or MP3 players. The mixer cross fader is replaceable and features curve adjust and reverse. A cueing section has dual 1/8 and 1/4-inch headphone outputs, dedicated cue gain and a mini cross fader.
The deck sections of the Mixdeck Quad have all the usual features that we would expect to find on a CD / media player, including large touch-sensitive illuminated jog wheels and fast slot-loading CD drives. The jog wheels also feature adjustable start and stop times for a vinyl-like feel. A fader start function allows a cued-up track to start playing when the cross fader is moved; this function also works with compatible external CD players.
Each deck section has a large backlit display for BPM, CD / MP3 tags and folder navigation.
The Mixdeck Quad features a selection of beat-synced DSP effects: wet / dry fader, chop, echo, filter, pan and phaser. Further creative possibilities come from seamless looping controls, a sampler and hot cues. The Numark Bleep / Reverse function allows the DJ to keep time moving forward whilst cutting or reversing a track.
Inputs include two mic (XLR and 1/4-inch with gain and 2-band EQ), four Aux (RCA stereo pairs), iPad connector and USB. Outputs are Main (balanced XLR and RCA), Booth (RCA), Record (RCA), decks 1 and 2 (RCA) and cue (1/8 and 1/4-inch). The direct stereo output from each deck allows the use of timecode control interfaces such as Serato Scratch Live, or external effects units.
