Mackie d.2

Mackie d.2 Pro Mackie d.2 Pro Description: THE ULTIMATE 2-CHANNEL CONSOLE FOR PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION. Introduced in 2006, the original Mackie d.2 DJ mixer was an instant success thanks to its studio-grade sound quality, incredible feel, and built-like-a-tank construction. Now the new d.2 pro picks up where the original model left off, with enhanced FireWire capabilities for direct connection to Mac or PC, more flexible routing, and Traktor® Scratch certification for spinning digital music files using standard turntables with specially coded vinyl. Taken together, this enhanced feature set elevates this two-channel mixer into a true DJ performance and production console. The d.2 pro console brings its unrivaled sound quality courtesy of premium studio grade VCA-based analog circuitry, audiophile-grade phono preamps, an Infinium® contact-free crossfader, and XLR balanced main outputs. So you get studio-quality sound, Mackie's hallmark "built-like-a-tank" construction, and enough flexibility to place it at the center of any professional performance or serious DJ/remixer studio. FULL-FEATURED FIREWIRE CONNECTIONS. The d.2 pro is the first two-channel DJ-style console to offer onboard 13x6 FireWire connectivity with 24 bit/96kHz sampling rates. So you can plug directly into your FireWire-ready Mac or PC (Mac OSX 10.3.9 or higher, Windows XP, SP2 or higher), and start spinning all your digital music files from iTunes, Traktor Scratch, Ableton Live and more (see sidebar). The d.2 pro's FireWire connectivity also lets you record your sets and original music productions directly to your computer without any additional hardware. This makes it a complete solution for building mix CDs, recording podcasts, broadcasts, or any one of dozens of other applications. A small DJ/remix studio typically includes many different components, from turntables to a laptop. So we made sure you could connect a wide range of gear into a d.2 pro simultaneously and "tie it all together." No more audio interface. No more mess of cables. But we didn't sleep on the d.2 pro's performance features either, so you'll be equally at home using it in the club. In addition to its super straightforward layout, the d.2 pro's performance features include: An Infifnium® optical, no-contact crossfader with adjustable tension Mackie-designed turntable and premium Mackie mic preamps for superior detail and maximum "punch" Smooth 3-band analog EQ with full kill capabilities 3-position, spring-loaded Transform switches A solid 14-gauge all-steel chassis (substantially thicker than our competitors) These components directly contribute to the legendary sound quality and durability which have become Mackie hallmarks. The Mackie d.2 Pro is the world's best-sounding, best-built 2-channel DJ mixer. It's also the first DJ mixer with a FireWire option, letting you mix and record music directly to and from your Mac or PC laptop or desktop. Among the d.2's standout features are a clean, in
