The Numark NDX500 is a USB/CD media player and software controller all in one.
This combination allows any digital audio source to be integrated into the mix; be it in stand- alone operation with USB flash drive, CDs and MP3s or in connection with DJ software on a computer. The integrated audio interface transfers the signal in professional quality from Mac or PC to a PA system or mixer. Via USB MIDI, the NDX500 becomes a DJ software controller.
Various control elements are pre-mapped for operation with Serato DJ (available separately!). Additionally this CD player features Numark's proven anti-shock technology, which prevents the playback from being disrupted from vibrations and shocks.

These are my first journey into digital after 30 years of vinyl turntables. And to say I'm impressed is an understatement. These decks have made me question whether i will ever buy vinyl again.
