The unit's unique blend of media with a high-definition color screen and Numark's intuitive Crate music-management software give the mobile DJ incomparable visual control of their music. Carefully crafted around the way DJs work and play, DDS-80 player takes the questions out of mixing media formats and puts the answers back in the hands of the DJ.
A number of Numark DJ technologies are built-into the DDS-80 Media / CD Player to ensure that your gigs are more fun. Key Lock enables independent control of pitch and tempo so your songs will never sound like they're being sung by Alvin & the Chipmunks—unless you want them to. You can move pitch all the way from -100% up to +25% and anywhere in-between. Beatkeeper seamlessly integrates your samples and loops, and it has a tap-override function so you're always in control. You can play music from two devices simultaneously, including two songs from the same iPod. You can scratch CDs, MP3s, WAVs, and AACs (unprotected) using the DDS's large jog wheels.
The Numark DDS-80 ensures fast-track access as a CD player, and when using the hard disk section, you can locate tunes even faster using text-search. You can easily expand and connect DDS-80 to any USB music storage device using the two front-panel USB ports.
The DDS-80 fits standard 19-inch equipment racks. It occupies 5RU total, or can be separated into a 3RU DDS controller and a 2RU DDS Drive.
