Veel andere nieuws sites berichten afgelopen week over nieuwe Numark producten, allemaal leuk en aardig maar niet echt relevant voor de meeste dj's (al zal ik een aantal nieuwtjes toch van het weekend nog even online gooien). Wij hebben een nieuwtje van Numark wat er weer wat meer toe doet, namelijk de nieuwe battle mixer van Numark welke volgens mij naast het andere vlaggenschip van Numark op dit gebied de DXMPro gezet kan worden, wat is er zo bijzonder aan de SM-X... hij is volledig analoog.

Numark Pro SM-X
Numark, the world’s leading manufacturer of products for the DJ market, announces PRO SM-X, the most powerful DJ battle mixer it has made to date. Designed to the exact specifications of the world-famous DMC champion French DJ team, BIRDY NAM NAM, PRO SM-X features a 100% analog audio path to preserve the natural warmth of vinyl.

The uncompromising build quality of the SM-X is highlighted by its rugged, thick metal construction and a selection of premium-quality components including gold-plated rear panel connectors to eliminate poor cable connections, XLR master outputs for an extra-clean, balanced signal and a Pro-X-Fader crossfader - considered the world’s finest DJ crossfader. An entirely analog signal running through high-end componentry results in outstandingly high audio quality.

PRO SM-X is packed with features. Three inputs per channel including balanced ¼-inch inputs permit connection of drum machines, samplers and other musical instruments with reliable signal transmission. A three-band EQ section is available on each channel, and is switchable between +/-12 dB for traditional EQing or +12/-INF dB for use as frequency kills. A pre and post effects send and return allows use of any external effects unit. An auxiliary Session input with volume control allows mixers to be daisy-chained for a large scratch session.

In addition to the prestigious audio facilities of PRO SM-X, the mixer provides DJs with the utmost in personalized control of their performances. The Pro-X-Fader crossfader has adjustable end points and torque, enabling users to customize its feel. Crossfader and line fader reverse switches permit the fader direction to be selected to suit user preference. The slope of each side of the crossfader and each line fader is adjustable to provide comprehensive custom-tailored performance.
