Being a great leader in today's DJ technology, Numark has never stopped at pushing forth with the latest gadgetry for the modern DJ. During the Summer NAMM Show 2009, Numark had released a very reliable solution in the form the CDN55. DJs who want more than just a standard professional rack-mount CD player, however, should start looking into the Numark CDN450, a multiformat dual-deck professional CD player.

Making sure that the party keeps going on all night long, the CDN450 features Numark's Anti-Shock electronically buffered skip protection while playing both traditional and MP3 CDs. Functions such as live scratching and seamless looping capabilities give DJs that edge in performances and works as the perfect player for fixed installs in clubs, bars, restaurants, and other locations.

The CDN450's text display allows users to view information from ID3 Tags of MP3s as well as folder navigation for faster and easier location of tracks. The ID3 Tag Info Buttons give quick information access. The CDN450's jog wheels allow DJs to bend pitch and scratch. Jumping forward 10 tracks is possible with the +10 search.

Users can pitch track up and down on 4%, 8%, and 16% ranges to match beats easily. CDN450 also automatically detects the BPM on most tracks as well as tap tempo for manual beat entry. Locking the pitch or key is no problem with CD450's Key Lock technology. Other features also include Fader Start automatically starts cued-up playback when users move the crossfader on a compatible mixer, various playback modes (single track, continuous, relay, programmable), and cue point setting gives the DJ creative control over mixes.

FEATURES:

• High-quality dual-deck MP3 and CD player with Anti-Shock™ skip protection
• Real-time scratch and seamless looping on both decks for CD and MP3
• Displays text for ID3 tags and folder names for easy navigation
• Multifunction jog/shuttle wheels for search, pitch bend, and scratching

The CDN450 is housed in rack-mount package compatible with both angled and straight racks. The control and drive units can be mounted either together or separately for flexible setup options. Standard analog RCA and digital S/PDIF outputs enable the CDN450 to be used with virtually all speaker and recording systems. Pricing for the Numark CDN450 is TBA.
