Professional DJ Digital Mixer
|
|
The TASCAM X-9 is a versatile tool for serious DJs which combines a highly flexible 4-channel mixer with a dual effects processor and a dual sampler. The result is a creative powerhouse that helps to add originality and inspiration for every mix.
Designed specifically for high-end creative DJs, the X-9's control surface is laid out to combine ultra-high performance and intuitive ease of use. Its multitude of analog and digital inputs allows for incredible flexibility for interfacing with a wide variety of DJ gear such as vinyl turntables, dual CD decks, external effects devices and other audio tools.
To achieve the ultimate in creative control
of your mixes, the X-9 includes a wide variety of high-quality built-in
effects.
You can add reverb, delay, echo, flanging, auto panning,
fuzz, a low-fi filter, pitch control, a transformer effect and a low
pass filter to
any audio signal that passes through the X-9, with 30 memories
to store your settings for later use. The X-9 also features parametric
EQ – an essential control feature for exciting custom mixes. All EQ settings are also storable and recallable. Also, using the X-9's sampling function, you can select a sampling source from Input 1 through 4, from the master output, the microphone input, or both sides of the crossfader. Along with its customizable fader start function, which can be assigned to several controllers on the mixer, the X-9 offers all the features you ever wanted in a DJ mix – and
a few you never knew you needed until now.
Whether you're combining it with TASCAM's CD-302 Dual CD Decks or any other audio playback tool, the X-9 represents a giant leap forward in setting the standard for DJ mixing in the 21st century.
