At this year's Winter NAMM show,
Numark announced the DXM Series, a completely new line of compact
scratch mixers for professional DJs. Featuring 24-bit digital
processing, DXM Series mixers deliver superior sound as well as many
unique performance benefits. The DXM Series is launching with three 2
channel models, the DXM01, DXM03, and DXM06, each with unique
performance-enhancing features.
The DXM01 is for purist users.
With Subbass Synthesis with Intensity Control, the DXM01 can bring
out powerful, tight bass in any mix. Featuring an open control
layout, the DXM01 virtually eliminates inadvertent operation of
secondary controls, helping turntablists and other aggressive DJs
achieve the ultimate performance 'zone'. With an estimated street
price of $169.00, the DXM01 will be the company's lowest priced
24-bit digital mixer.
The DXM03 incorporates a realtime
multiband 12 column spectral display with different display modes
(Master L/R, Master L+R, Ch1/Ch2), which helps DJs recognize and
control tonal variances in the source signal, independently of what's
happening elsewhere in the system. The DXM03 is perfect for House and
Techno DJs seeking realtime visual analysis of what's happening in
their mix. The mixer has an estimated street price of $199.00.
The DXM06 features 12 on-board
digital effects (Flanger, Echo, Tape Echo, 2x Copy, Phaser, and
Filter for CH1/Ch2, plus Vocoder, Echo, Tape Echo, Reverb,
Limiter+Distortion, and Telephone for Mic/Aux), all routable to
Ch1,Ch2,Mic/Aux or Master. The effects control interface uses a Beat
Sync Tap Button, wet/dry fader, and rotary parameter control, plus
kill buttons for instant, intuitive control. Estimated street price: $249.00.
All three DXM Series mixers
feature Numark's new "D-Type" digital crossfader for feel
and response, a reverse switch and continuous rotary slope control, 2
Phono (w/phono defeat switch)/2 line inputs, 1 mic/stereo aux input,
steep 3-band EQ with frequency kill, Look-Ahead Peak Limiting on
headphone and master outputs, and RCA Record output and 1/4"
Balanced Master Output.
The DXM Series is scheduled to
start shipping to authorized Numark retailers in Q1 2003.
