Dual CD Workstation
Marathon, manufacturers of DJ and pro audio products announced the release of the Dual CD Workstation, DCM-2000MKII. The combining of a dual cd player is nothing new in the industry, but few have taken it to the level that Marthon has. Released at Winter NAMM 2008 the DCM-2000MKII is a product of listening to not only the end user DJ, but the many dealers in the market. This made for a very flexible, usable and durable cd workstation that has many of the features that CD disc jockeys look for.

A stratigic layout of the controls allows the DJ to set up mixes with ease. Using the direct access buttons they are able to find tracks and instantly cue them to play. A front mounted 1/8" jack for portable mp3 players is accesable from either the right or left side with a flip of a switch. Balanced outputs round out this great new product for DJs.
