The newest DJ gear, music production gear, and the raddest music.
Santa Barbara based company ECHO has released the brand new INDIGO IOx and INDIGO DJx Laptop Sound Cards.
The INDIGO range for mobile musicians has been updated, with the announcement of PCI Express cards, Indigo IOx and Indigo DJx.
Finally an ExpressCard solution for the digital DJ. Indigo DJx offers two independent stereo 1/8 inch analog outputs; one for setting up your cue mix on a pair of headphones, and the other for the house mix. Each output features 24-bit/96kHz converters for the quality you deserve. Also included is a 6 foot audio cable for RCA or 1/4 inch connections.
Indigo IOx offers one stereo 1/8 inch analog input and output on an ExpressCard powered by your notebook computer. It combines this with 24-bit/96kHz converters for the quality you deserve. Also included is a 6 foot audio cable for RCA or 1/4 inch connections.
A unique feature of both INDIGO IOx and INDIGO DJx is the use of "virtual" outputs. INDIGO IOx and INDIGO DJx appear to software as if they have eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using INDIGO IOx and INDIGO DJx’s "console" software and its on-board DSP. This makes INDIGO IOx and INDIGO DJx compatible with all popular multi-track software. And, with Echo’s "multi-client" drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and a software synth) can be playing back through INDIGO IOx and INDIGO DJx at the same time.

1. WHY DO SOME DJ’S USE ROTARY ”DIAL” FADERS AS OPPOSED TO SLIDE FADERS? Many house music DJ’s, particularly those who play the ”New York” style, prefer the rotary faders due to the precise level settings that result in a more natural feel to each beatmix. These DJ’s do not use the crossfader during every mix, but ”shape” the sound through the input levels. The rotary faders allow smoother blending of vocals during a mix, as the left to right motion of using two rotary faders is far more natural than the up and down movement of two ”standard” faders.
2. WHY IS THE R-1 SO EXPENSIVE? Constructing the R-1 Vestax uses the best circuitry to give a very natural, undistorted wide and deep sound. Vestax researched world-wide to find the best parts and components for the R-1. So all in all you have a real masterpiece for mixing. That is why we
use the term “R-1 Premium”.
3. CAN I USE A CROSSFADER WITH THE R-1? Yes, by purchasing the MCR-1 crossfader unit, you can add crossfader function, and extended monitoring.
4. IS THE R-1 OK FOR INSTALLATION? The R-1 is superb for installation Many night-clubs have heard an incredible improvement in the PA Sound by adding the R-1 to their system.

channels into the crossfader while maintaining the original high fidelity

PIONEER HDJ-2000 HEADPHONES
Pioneer announces its new HDJ-2000 professional DJ headphones. Designed to enhance Pioneer’s HDJ series, these sleekly designed, top-flight headphones touch down with several new innovations to reach new levels of sound quality, comfort and durability.
First up, the HDJ-2000s’ high-quality frequency response is optimised for pro DJ use and ensures superb clarity with clear separation. This applies to any demanding environment, whether it’s performing in a packed club or engineering in a studio. In fact, the HDJ-2000s’ 50 mm driver units and high-flux magnets create outstanding resolution, from bass to treble, and are ideal for studio applications. Yet another neat feature is the capacity for 3,500 mW of input, which means distortion is prevented, even at sustained loud volumes. The heavy-duty build of these headphones ensures zero resonance.
Sporting a rugged but lightweight magnesium swivel/fold mechanism the headphones are robust, comfortable and compact to transport. Each ear-cup gives excellent insulation and swivels a full 90 degrees using a new i-hinge with auto-return, which presents great flexibility, especially for DJs who prefer the ‘on-shoulder’ method of monitoring. To improve monitoring, there is also a convenient STEREO/MONO switch. Finally, heat-sensitive, low-rebound urethane-foam (memory-foam) padding with a comfortable protein leather*1 surface cushions the ears and head for a no-fatigue fit. The HDJ-2000s are not only the perfect partner for Pioneer’s DJM mixers but even feature a stylish aluminium outer finish to match the play/cue buttons on Pioneer’s CDJ players.
Features at a glance:
The development of the Pioneer HDJ-2000 stems from numerous requests from top DJs around the world desiring headphones with:
“Our engineers put great care and thought into every aspect of our product line; from our scratch emulation technology to headphone features, we place a strong emphasis on design, sound quality, and overall performance.” said Matt Dever, vice president of Pioneer’s Professional Sound and Visual Division. “These new headphones are a testament to our dedication to elevating the user and artist experience.”
Accurate Sound Quality
The headphone is uniquely designed to improve sound quality and reliability–perfect for use in DJ environments and studios.
Additionally, the headphones have an enclosed “over-ear” design with ear pads that seal around the user’s ears, reducing ambient noise and providing superior sound isolation for tracking in a loud club environment or a studio. The ear pad’s unique material, memory foam (Polyurethane foam), provides a tight yet comfortable seal, further enhancing sound reproduction especially in the mid to high frequency ranges.
Maximum Comfort for Extended Wear
The HDJ-2000’s lightweight construction and soft comfortable ear pads are ideal for long listening/recording sessions and reduce the well-known phenomenon of “headphone fatigue.” The headphones feature:
Sturdy, Stylish Design and Construction
The HDJ-2000 employs a Mini XLR connection to join the main body with the nearly ten feet of cable to achieve both a quality “sound” connection and easy replacement. With a new i-type hinge, a smooth and integral form has been achieved that naturally fits the hands at any time during DJ performance. The headphone’s ear pads have a spun finish aluminum ring that matches the design of Pioneer’s CDJ players’ “play/cue” buttons for a cohesive stylish design.
