Record your sets to an iPod, or play from an iPod, with the new Numark iM1 DJ mixer. This compact professional two-channel DJ mixer features an iPod dock plus a variety of input types.

You can plug in turntables, CD players, line-level music sources, and a microphone to the iM1, which also includes a dock for iPod that allows you to play from, or record to, an iPod. Set the levels with trim and line faders, and tailor the high and low frequencies with the rotary EQs on each channel. Likewise, you can cue up tracks using the mini-crossfader and headphone output, and then perform the mix through the master outputs with the smooth, replaceable crossfader.

Using the new iM1, you can create professional-quality mix-tapes to pass off to clubs and fans by recording your DJ performances directly to an iPod within the built-in dock. The iM1 has all the features you need to get maximum performance out of minimum space, notes Numark.

• Two-channel compact-tabletop mixer with built-in iPod dock
