Designed specifically for high-end creative DJs, the X-9's control surface is laid out to combine ultra-high performance and intuitive ease of use. Its multitude of analog and digital inputs allows for incredible flexibility for interfacing with a wide variety of Di gear such as vinyl turntables, dual CD decks, external effects devices and other audio tools. Its digital in puts provide a direct connection to CD players and other digital devices, while its digital outputs let you record your mixes straight to digital recorders.

To achieve the ultimate in creative control of your mixes, the X-9 includes a wide variety of high-quality built-in effects. You can add reverb, delay, echo, flanging, auto panning, fuzz, a low-fi filter, pitch control, a transformer effect and a low pass filter to any audio signal that passes through the X-9. Plus, there are 30 spaces to store your settings for later use. The X-9 also features parametric EQ ... an essential control feature for exciting custom mixes. All EQ settings are also storable and recallable.

Another valuable tool for live performance and remixing is the X-9's sampling function. You can select a sampling source from Input 1 through 4, from the master output, the microphone input, or both sides of the crossfader. Along with its customizable fader start function, which can be assigned to several controllers on the mixer, the X-9 offers all the features you ever wanted in a DJ mixer ... and a few you never knew you needed until now.

Whether you're combining it with TASCAM's CD-302 Dual CID Decks or any other audio playback tool, the X-9 represents a giant leap forward in setting the standard for DJ mixing in the 21st century.
