Behringer NOX404 2-Channel Scratch DJ Mixer with FX

BEHRINGER NOX Series DJ Mixers are built to connect directly to your computer and take your music straight into the digital realm. In an instant, these mixers allow you to record and play any digital music file with your PC or Mac computer without the need for any special drivers! Plus they've included the infinium "contact-free" VCA Crossfader, Behringer's legendary XENYX mic and premium-grade phono preamps, and beat-syncable FX for years of flawless performance.

Like the DJ mixers that started it all, the NOX Series offer RCA inputs for your turntables, tape decks and CD players. They also feature mic inputs with Behringer's exceptional XENYX mic preamps for announcements, an impromptu rap, or any other vocal nuance. But unlike the DJ mixers of yesteryear, NOX Series mixers include USB connectivity so you can access your MP3 library or digitize your own creative mix, directly via your computer. If it can be clicked, spun or spoken, the NOX Series can mix it!

Whether you're throwing multiple elements into the mix, or just keeping it simple, there's a USB-ready NOX Series mixer that's ideal for you. All NOX Series models feature super-smooth channel faders and the infinium "contact-free" VCA-controlled crossfader for the utmost in reliability and smooth audio performance. The user-adjustable crossfader curves let you quickly adapt to various mixing styles.

A useful and powerful addition to NOX Series mixers is the internal effects engine. This processor offers 12 high-quality digital effects that can be assigned to the microphone, channel 1 or 2, crossfader A or B, or the main mix. Each effect has several parameters that can be adjusted to suit your purpose. In general, the TAP button is used to beat-sync the effect to the tempo of the music by pressing it in rhythm. The INTENSITY fader usually controls the wet/dry mix of the effect (how much is blended with the unaffected signal). The FREQUENCY knob can have various assignments. In beat-sync mode (engaged by tapping the rhythm with the TAP button), it will determine the tempo multiple. It can also adjust the rate on its own, if beat-sync is not engaged or not available.

Here's a brief description of the FX available in every NOX Series mixer:

• 2XCOPY: Makes a copy of the signal, which is delayed by a defined time.
• TAPE ECHO: A simulation of the echo effect that occurs between two tape reels, which has a warm, slightly decayed sound.
• ECHO: A more modern delay effect, which is very useful for juggling beats and emphasizing musical phrases.
• FLANGER: A flanger is a wave-like effect that modulates the signal.
• PHASER: A sweeping phase shifter effect. It is similar to a flanger, except that it is enharmonic, producing a more "swooshing" sound.
• LP and HP FILTER: A Low Pass filter cuts out any frequency above its parameter settings. A High Pass filter cuts out frequencies below its parameter settings.
• AUTO PAN: Automatically moves the signal from one side of the stereo image to the other.
• VOCODER: Creates a robot voice sound straight from the early days of electronic music.
• REVERB: This is a classic effect that adds space and air to the sound.
• REV REVERB: Reverse reverb.LMT+DIST: Band-limited distortion creates a tight, compressed and distorted sound to any signal.

The NOX404 provides superb tone control, thanks to a 3-band EQ and full-kill filters, Gain control and precise level meter per channel. All NOX Series mixers feature extensive headphone monitoring and cueing options.

Much like an NOX202 on steroids, the 2-channel NOX404 ups the ante with a switchable FX LOOP and adjustable fader curves per channel for the ultimatein control and versatility. Connectivity options include Mic, Line and USB sources, so you can bring all your tunes to the party. And the stereo AUX IN section, complete with LEVEL control, is like getting an extra channel for free! Balanced XLR Outputs and Behringer's beat-syncable FX processor make this brawler the logical choice for the on-the-go mix-master.
