Winter NAMM Show: Numark introduced the DMC2 Rack Mount DJ Software Controller.

The DMC2 is Numark’s top-of-the-line professional DJ software controller, featuring a ruggedly-constructed metal frame that can be used in a 3U rack-mount setting or as a tabletop unit. The unit lets mobile DJs who are comfortable with rack consoles to add the power of software-based mixing to their arsenal.

The DMC2 is designed for DJs that want to stay ahead of the competition without a huge learning curve. No assignment of software parameters for the DMC2 is necessary – simply connect the controller to a laptop with a USB cable, enable it in the software’s “config” menu, and watch the virtual controls respond to the DMC2’s actions. The DMC2’s high-speed HID USB 2.0 interface is optimized for the included Numark CUE Lite software, which allows users to mix and scratch audio and video files (including CD+G for karaoke) interchangeably.

Since CUE and other programs take advantage of digital storage and multi-processing muscle while emulating traditional mixing platform interfaces, the DMC2 completes the circle, taking control back from inconvenient mouse or touch-pad mixing.

Offering USB 2.0 compatibility, the DMC2 is a controller that will grow with DJs as they expand their hardware and software options. And with important features like true instant start, one-button song synchronization, an automix button for quick mixes, a wide range of looping and cueing options, fader buttons that allow automatic crossfading, Key Lock and more, the DMC2 gives you the technical options you need to maximize your mixes.

With a bright, backlit display, DJs can easily see information for the songs they are controlling, with song title, BPM and time displays. All control knobs and buttons are rubberized, illuminated and easy to manipulate.
