DJ Performance/Production system with 4 x 4 USB audio interface, control vinyl and CDs, and software.

Conectiv, developed by M-Audio's SynchroScience division, is the world's first bus-powered 4 x 4 USB audio interface designed for DJs who perform and produce tracks with a laptop. Together, Conectiv and the included Torq software form the ultimate DJ tool—high-fidelity audio, all the right kinds of I/O (including dual phono preamps), and the ability to mix, beat-match and cue digital files with ease. Use them as a completely digital solution and leave the heavy stacks of vinyl or bulky wallets of CDs at home—or process your vinyl and CDs on the fly. You can even create a hybrid digital/vinyl DJ rig by using Conectiv and Torq with specially encoded control vinyl discs or CDs. Torq supports popular formats such as MP3, WAV, WMA and AAC files and is configured to automatically work with Conectiv—no messy set-ups. And unlike most digital DJ systems, Conectiv works with other third-party software as well.

SynchroScience—Designed for Real-time Performance
M-Audio's new SynchroScience product development group is all about providing DJs with the tools they need —as evidenced by the portable and powerful Conectiv interface. With two pairs of stereo inputs and outputs, easy USB connectivity and included Torq DJ software, Conectiv can turn any compatible Mac or PC into a powerful DJ rig. The two large knobs allow you to seamlessly mix between the incoming audio from a turntable or CD player with the output of a connected Mac or PC. Conectiv also includes standard DJ cueing capabilities, so you can listen to any track in your headphones before sending it out to the house system.


The included Torq DJ software is a dual-platform application that allows you to mix, beat-match and cue a variety of digital audio file formats, including MP3, AIFF, WAV, WMA and AAC. The first time you boot up the software, it automatically configures itself to work with Conectiv. Furthermore, the software itself can be controlled via mouse, keyboard, MIDI controller or control vinyl/CDs. And unlike traditional DJ set-ups where you're forced to carry around heavy crates of records or CDs, Torq organizes all of your digital files into a quickly searchable database on a compact, convenient hard disk—it can even interface directly with your iTunes library for truly effortless setup. And if that's not enough, Torq supports third-party VST effect plug-ins and includes both a dedicated 16-cell sampler and performance recorder.


For the DJ who chooses to work with vinyl or CDs, Conectiv can turn a laptop into the most versatile DJ effects unit ever conceived. By routing the output of a connected turntable or CD player into a program like Torq or Ableton Live, you can process your tracks with tons of plug-in effects. Imagine the possibilities of stacking multiple distortion, EQ, reverb, chorus or bit reduction effects and using the knobs on Conectiv to blend the dry and processed signals. And by using industry-standard CoreAudio and ASIO drivers, Conectiv delivers low-latency operation on both Mac and PC.



Are you eager to embrace the world of computer-based DJing, but not ready to give up the feel of your favorite turntable or CD player? Not a problem.. Simply break out a pair of control vinyl discs or CDs, and spin digital files loaded in Torq using a traditional DJ setup. And unlike most—more expensive—digital vinyl systems, Conectiv is also compatible with other third-party DJ and DAW applications—you can even use it as an audio interface for Pro Tools M-Powered.


While laptop systems have long offered conveniences like portability, unique effects, world-class editing options and instant access to downloadable music, many of these devices don't deliver the same output volume as traditional DJ products. Conectiv changes all of that. With a maximum output level of +2dBV, Conectiv gives you more volume than you need and can go to toe-to-toe with any DJ product on the market.


M-Audio interfaces are known for their recording quality and Conectiv is no exception. With switchable RCA phono/line level inputs and 1/4" mic input, you can easily record a wide variety of sources with most DAW software titles, including Pro Tools M-Powered, Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Digital Performer and more.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

  • Best Control over the dance floor

    As reviewed by DJ Von Erich on 8/27/2007

    M-Audio has really surprised me! I'm very pleased with this product. I use Conectiv Torq with the time-coded vinyl and to be honest, i was really blown away about it's amazing features. Installation and setup is a breeze. The software is 99.9% accurate when it comes to BPM detection. You might have some issues if the MP3 isn't high quality. Some minor issues I've had is that if you are working on tagging your music for a while, (for examples you are working on tagging about 100s songs for hours) the software might freeze. Another thing, if you don't have the connective amp that you plug in your decks or turntables, handy, the software will not work. All in all, i use it in clubs and I'm blown away by it's features and components!! I give at an A!!

  • I know this isn't Serato but I'm impressed anyway.

    As reviewed by Aaron on 3/9/2009

    I was really impressed with this software after much deliberation and research. I purchased this because of the capabilities to remix live without the need to run another laptop for ableton or any other software program for your live set. I hooked it up to my laptop without any major hiccups and was spinning that afternoon. The only issue i had was that all the songs from my music files weren't transferred to the program when I was searching for it. I believe this will be resolved after taking advantage of the free upgrade to Torq 1.5. But so far the vinyl controls are almost close to the real thing when beat juggling and scratching. Remember I said "almost" because nothing beats a warm analog sound with actual vinyl when spinning so I will have to adjust the feel of my control discs. Nevertheless, I can't wait to play with the additional features and start putting together my remixes. I also love the fact I can use my hybrid turntables to use the cd controllers. This will help me smooth out the transition until all those songs from my cd collection are on my laptop and a memory card.

  • AMAZING PRODUCT!!!

    As reviewed by DjKeyz on 12/20/2009

    I Bought Torq About a year ago and it hasn't let me down Ever.I have yet to use all the feature that come with it. The sky is the limit to your creativness. If You want to take your game to the next level, Torq is the way to go. The only thing I recommend is that you have a farely decetn computer and go to their forum to tweak your system for the best experience either torq.
