Behavior At 48kHz, Continued

Ad

In NewDJ you can choose which frequency the tone corrector acts on to adapt to your type of music or your tastes.

The line-in takes about 0.5 working volts before clipping. This is not adjustable and it's a bit tight and therefore must be used with care: A standard home CD has an output level (for 0 digital dB) of around 2 working volts, so distortion is inevitable. However, the saturation indicator also works for the line-in, so keep an eye on it to see it doesn't light up.

The DJ Console outputs at about 1 working volt (for signal at 0 digital dB), which should be adequate for practical purposes. While you can notice the difference with professional equipment, which tolerates more input and outputs at a higher level, the price difference compared to DJ Console is measures in the thousands-of-dollars range. The compromise, thus, is more than acceptable. While you must take care when using the line-in, which is not very relevant for a DJ, the output level means you can handle a lot of power amplification directly and, above all, you will find it is quite ample for the mixing console you will mostly use.


With a line-in at 500mV, clipping is not far off and output is at nearly 1V. This is the most the DJ Console can deliver.

Overall, the DJ Console is easy to use, unless you want to fine-tune its configuration. For example, if you want to use the six output channels in DJ mode, managing audio streams gets much more complicated; we would have preferred a simpler interface. .
