Geschreven door Reind Dooyeweerd woensdag, 06 april 2005 15:51

Het merk Gem Sound komt met 2 nieuwe cd spelers op de proppen. Het merk is hier in Europa amper te verkrijgen (laten we het zo houden ;-) ) en mikt op de absolute onderkant van de markt.
Het merk is dus te vergelijken met de merken Skytech, USBlaster e.d.

Gem Sound CDT-525

Raising the price/performance bar for tabletop CD players, the Gem Sound CD-525 is a high-quality tabletop CD player equipped with professional features and styling.

Built with a metal chassis, the CDT-525 sports a fast slot-load transport. A large jog/shuttle/search wheel is illuminated with a vibrant blue outline, and many of the unit’s large rubber buttons are also illuminated, including Cue, Play, In, Out, Pitch, and Search. Tracks can be selected instantly with the direct access numeric pad. The CDT-525 boasts seamless looping, as well as 40 seconds of anti-shock buffer. Pitch control is ±12% using the fader, or ±16% using the pitch bend buttons. A S/PDIF digital output allows a direct digital connection to recorders, mixers, computers, and other digital gear. Power can be switched between 115 and 230 volts.

Gem Sound Vice President George Dertinger commented: “The CDT-525 provides the most-requested professional features on a tabletop CD player for an excellent value. From its slot-load transport to seamless looping capabilities to illuminated control surface, the CDT-525 delivers exceptional performance. This is a very high quality machine that is a delight to work with.”

Gem Sound CD60

The CD60 is a rack-mountable dual CD player with a generous 40 seconds of anti-shock buffer, making it a rock-solid choice for the most demanding professional situations. With both optical and coaxial S/PDIF digital outputs, the CD60 allows direct digital connections to virtually all types of digital mixers, computer sound cards, and digital recorders.

Boasting seamless looping, the CD60 is complete with essential professional features like ?12% pitch control, independent jog/shuttle wheels, frame-accurate searching, and cue set with instant restart. The CD60 features three time readout modes, and a blue LCD display ensures high visibility. Separate player and control units are each 3 rack-units high, and power can be switched between 115v and 230v.

Gem Sound Vice President George Dertinger commented: “For the working DJ, the most important feature a CD player can provide is peace of mind. In any performance situation, the DJ needs to know that the music is going to keep playing. With 40 seconds of anti-shock buffer, the CD60 delivers outstanding reliability at a very modest price. It also includes the feature set most demanded by DJs, making it an all-around fantastic value.
