Denon DN-HS5500

[Cupe]

Features:

• 2 Decks in 1 - One of the most riveting features of the DN-HS5500 is its independent Dual Deck-like operation with separate audio outputs. Deck 1 & Deck 2 can be operated simultaneously by a simple flip of a button, offering twice the power & creativity in a single deck. Each Deck layer has full access to all the available features as well as your connected devices & music library. Additionally, when used as a MIDI controller each Deck layer can fully control 2 players from your favorite DJ software such as, PCDJ/Reflex LE, Serato Scratch LIVE, Traktor...etc.

• High Torque Direct Drive Motor & Spinning Platter Design - Denon’s proprietary 12-pole Direct Drive brushless motor design is keeping the art of the 110-year old turntable alive & true to its native feel, delivering instant full rotation speed with a powerful 2.5 kg/cm of start-up torque within 0.5 seconds for true turntable reaction and response. DJs can perform freely as if they were using a genuine analog turntable. Platter rotation can be changed from 33 to 45 R.P.M. for comfort.

• Modular HDD - By this powerful and unique design, the DJ is now in full control over their internal hardware preference by choosing your own 2.5" laptop size *Hard Drive to store your Library as the secured "internal" source playback. The 2.5" HDD easily mounts to a removable caddy accessible from the front panel.

• External USB Device Support (Sold Separately) - Got a portable music collection stored on external USB media? No problem…the DN-HS5500 can support multiple external USB mass storage class devices direct or via a USB 2.0 hub (sold separately). Connect your, iPod®, Jump Drive, and large USB Hard Drives for easy access to your small or extensive mp3/wav libraries. Simply plug these devices into the DN-HS5500 to obtain the powerful on-board features such as, Instant Start, Seamless Looping, Scratching and File Searching, just to name a few. Supported File Formats: MP3 & WAV

• MIDI Interface Controller (PC/MAC) - The DN-S5500 is more than just player, it’s also designed to interface & control a variety of popular DJ programs that supports USB MIDI in/out interface, either by user custom mapping or direct native support by the software vendor. Control your favorite DJ software or your hard disk full of music all from one clever player.

• USB Audio Internal 24-Bit Processing - Most DJ MIDI controllers on the market today don’t include an internal sound card. The DN-HS5500 encompasses its own USB Audio interface (sound card) which eliminates the hassle to source one and spend additional money. The internal power supply delivers optimum electrical specifications, resulting in best possible audio quality & performance, featuring industry leading Burr Brown (a product of TI) 24 bit DAC processing for superior output audio fidelity. USB Audio interface includes 2-Channel Stereo output pair, 44.1kHz sampling ranges and low latency ASIO / OSX Core Audio support

• D-Sync - Two DN-HS5500 players can be linked together by a single RJ45 cross-cable for MASTER / REMOTE operation. This EASY operation enables the DJ to make all their peripheral connections to a single player while having full control of your music devices from either side. The REMOTE Player has independent access to all connected devices including use of the keyboard function.

I use one of these - I love it. The 2 decks in 1 can sometimes cause me some grief but I really need to use it more before I pass judgement on this feature.
