For today’s DJ, interfacing your rig with a personal computer is becoming increasingly important. With a laptop computer you can mix your MP3 files with vinyl, CDs, DVDs or even a microphone. You can transport a vast music library with dramatically less weight and volume. Numark’s USB mixers can move audio in and out of your computer without the need for expensive sound cards, yet they fully support DJ software using dual soundcards. With full duplex capability, they facilitate simultaneous recording and playback—making it easy to mix and record from multiple sources along with music from your computer. They are fully plug-and-play compatible with both Windows XP and Mac OS X, making setup a snap.
