Total Control Performance Controller
Numark's portable Total Control is a powerful control surface for performing and producing with DJ software. The time-tested layout works just like two decks and a mixer, making it both easy to learn and capable of advanced technique.

It has two deck controller sections with large jog wheels and transports controls so whether you're used to a CD player, turntables, or any other traditional DJ hardware, you'll find getting around easy. The center of Total Control's surface is its mixer section with a smooth crossfader, line faders, deck EQs, and more advanced controls for looping and effects.

The Total Control connects to your Mac or PC as a class-compliant USB device so it requires no software drivers to work, and USB powers it so you won't need an external supply.

Features:

• Classic, dual-deck layout with complete mixer section
• Lighted controls indicate status in software for less time looking at the computer
• MIDI-over-USB controller is compatible with most DJ software
• Mac and PC class-compliant USB device requires no software drivers
• USB-powered device requires no power supply
• Includes Native Instruments Traktor LE software; mapped for Traktor Pro
• Kensington lock slot for theft prevention

The Numark HF125 headphone delivers the goods with flexible 7-position independently adjustable dual ear cups, large 40mm Mylar speaker drivers, 6-foot tangle-resistant cord with 1/4-inch connector, and padded headband and ear cups. All connecting cables and power cables included, and it also comes with a convenient carrying case.

DJ I/O Audio Interface
A compact, portable audio interface expressly designed for DJs, mobile music producers and other musicians who work with computers, the Numark DJ I/O connects easily with a standard USB cable to the computer and supplies extremely high-quality, 24-bit audio to output systems. Compact and rugged enough to live in your gig bag, it has RCA stereo outputs and a headphone output so you can cue and output your main mix simultaneously. It also has a 1/4-inch mic input so you can be the life of the party.

You can use DJ I/O with Mac OS X, Windows XP, or Vista. Both 32 and 64-bit Windows are compatible. The USB device is bus-powered so no additional power supply is needed, and you can optionally power the DJ I/O using a six-volt AC adapter (sold separately).

Traktor LE Software
Native Instruments Traktor LE software, based on Traktor Pro gives you four optional layouts, including cover art. You'll enjoy new Beatgrid Editing and saving with locked sync for precise performance. New in Traktor LE is manual looping and selectable loop length for flexible loop integration.
