For ease of use and for an
all-in-one answer you couldn’t do better than the Numark V7 CD Turntable,
developed from the Numark V7, the digital DJ controller with
enough professional features for the highest level of perfection. With its
NS7-style motorized platter and aDJustable torque, it is super lightweight for
maximum portability, the controller uses
Serato ITCH software and is constructed with premium faders, knobs, and
buttons. Brilliantly compatible with your iTunes library, it works with many
other MIDI DJ audio workstations - and the V7 expands the scope of the CD
turntable by allowing two DJs to play at the same time - you never know if
that’s how your gigging might turn out!
Then there’s
the Pioneer CDJ 2000 CD Turntable which is a fantastic model getting totally justified high
ratings and the CDJ-2000NXS2 acquires the highest grade of components from its
predecessor and is sublime in its deliverance.
Its touch screen is multicolor and has a ‘QWERTY’ console which helps you find your
favorite tracks fast. It has two banks of four Hot Cues enabling greater creativity and its
colors can be customized simplifying the job of cueing in. The large 7-inch
touch screen creates a natural
feel to your mixing
components, showing all the data you need such as Wave Zoom, Needle Countdown,
Phase Meter, and more. Plus the various playback options allow you to play USB
Flash/hard drives, SD cards and CDs/DVDs.
Lastly and
receiving more rave reviews than the others, is the Denon DN S3700
CD Turntable Media
Player & Controller. Seriously good
