Numark HDMIX DJ computer

Now that's a nice piece of kit. This stuff makes my hearty go faster, well .. yours truly was a DJ in his early days, so allow me to be a little subjective here.

DJ equipment and accessories maker Numark has unveiled its HDMIX DJ computer, which acts as a DJ mixer for files sourced from CD-RWs, DVD-RWs, a hard drive or any USB-connected device such as a flash drive. It comes with an 80GB hard disk that locks in place, and can be quickly swapped out for one with up to 1TB of capacity. Users browse files from a high-resolution color LCD, and can sort libraries by name, artist, album, genre or beats per minute (BPM). DJs can also create custom playlists, and have access to a bundled keyboard.

The HDMIX has three input channels, each with a dedicated EQ and gain control. The master output features a balanced XLR stereo pair output, along with RCA Master and Zone connections. There are two mic, three line-in and two phono inputs, as well as a pair of USB ports for connecting external devices, which can include PCs used to transfer existing libraries. Users can also rip music from CDs directly to the HDMIX.

There are currently no specifics on the HDMIX's release date or pricing. [via CrunchGear]
