NATIVE INSTRUMENTS AUDIO 8 DJ INTERFACE
WINNER OF THE DJMAG.COM TECH AWARDS WORLD'S BEST DJ AUDIO INTERFACE AWARD!
The AUDIO 8 DJ interface from Native Instruments was voted best DJ soundcard by the readers of DJ Mag, at the 2007 & 2008 Tech Awards. The voters and the jury confirmed the extraordinary properties of this high end audio interface. First-class sound quality, enormous flexibility and a rock-solid frame make the AUDIO 8 DJ the first choice for professional DJs.
The Audio 8 DJ is the most fully featured DJ soundcard and production tool on the market.
West End DJ:
"The Audio 8 has really surprised us, it's got everything a DJ could need, it's very well thought out - as you'd expect from Native Instruments - and it's built to withstand some knocks."
JFB:
"I've only used it with Traktor so far but it seems really good, especially for the price. The sound quality and latency is sick."
Gizmo:
"I've been using this for a while now and I'm really impressed with the quality and options for the money. It delivers serious quality audio, as well as loads of ins and outs. It's the attention to detail, like the USB cable hook, that raises it above the rest."
The Audio 8 DJ is a performance-optimized USB 2.0 audio interface specifically designed for TRAKTOR 3 and other professional DJ software. With its flexible 8-in/8-out configuration, two studio-grade phono preamps, extremely low latency, and a compact and highly robust aluminium casing, Audio 8 DJ fully meets the demands of professional "digital DJs" and can act as the centerpiece of a wide range of different performance setups in club, stage and studio environments.
The Audio 8 DJ audio interface offers four stereo inputs, two of which are equipped with software-switchable high-quality phono preamps, making it possible to incorporate nearly any combination of turntables, CD players, drum machines and other instruments into one powerful setup. The interface also provides four stereo outputs, which ideally complement the four full-featured playback decks in TRAKTOR 3 when using the software with an external mixer. All audio connections are in RCA format to allow for easy connection with turntables, CD players and DJ mixers.
Audio 8 DJ features a microphone input for voice-overs, a ground point for turntables, and a MIDI I/O to synchronize external MIDI gear and connect performance controller hardware. Status LEDs on the interface provide an instant overview about input levels and other vital system parameters, while several safeguard features prevent potential operating errors or accidents from interrupting a performance. Audio 8 DJ is completely bus-powered, making a cumbersome AC adapter unnecessary.
The interface is equipped with studio-quality 24-bit/96 kHz audio converters from Cirrus Logic that provide crystal-clear treble and rich bass response. Audio 8 DJ utilizes Native Instruments' fourth-generation audio driver technology with low-latency operation down to less than 4ms, which enables the high degree of precision and responsiveness that professional DJ performances rely on.
Audio 8 DJ ships with TRAKTOR 3 LE, a compact version of Native Instruments' TRAKTOR software that offers two decks with high-quality time-stretching, an integrated mixer, performance effects, loop and cueing functions, a powerful track database and Beatport integration. The Audio 8 DJ interface is also the centerpiece of Native Instruments' new timecode-controlled TRAKTOR SCRATCH DJ system that is available as a separate product.
Introducing the audio interface designed entirely for DJs. AUDIO 8 DJ combines high end audio quality with unmatched connectivity and a rock-solid mobile design. This hardware is destined to be the beating heart of your DJ set-up. The AUDIO 8 DJ provides a professional level interface between your preferred software and your audience.
